I’m trying to display the current date and time on my WordPress website. I want the date and time to reflect the Timezone that has been set in the WordPress admin area.
I found this code in options-general.php:
<tr>
<th scope="row"><?php _e('Date Format') ?></th>
<td>
<fieldset><legend class="screen-reader-text"><span><?php _e('Date Format') ?></span></legend>
<?php
$date_formats = array_unique( apply_filters( 'date_formats', array(
__('F j, Y'),
'Y/m/d',
'm/d/Y',
'd/m/Y',
) ) );
$custom = true;
foreach ( $date_formats as $format ) {
echo "t<label title='" . esc_attr($format) . "'><input type='radio' name='date_format' value='" . esc_attr($format) . "'";
if ( get_option('date_format') === $format ) { // checked() uses "==" rather than "==="
echo " checked='checked'";
$custom = false;
}
echo ' /> <span>' . date_i18n( $format ) . "</span></label><br />n";
}
echo ' <label><input type="radio" name="date_format" id="date_format_custom_radio" value="custom"';
checked( $custom );
echo '/> ' . __('Custom:') . ' </label><input type="text" name="date_format_custom" value="' . esc_attr( get_option('date_format') ) . '" class="small-text" /> <span class="example"> ' . date_i18n( get_option('date_format') ) . "</span> <span class='spinner'></span>n";
echo "t<p>" . __('<a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Formatting_Date_and_Time">Documentation on date and time formatting</a>.') . "</p>n";
?>
</fieldset>
</td>
</tr>
I tried adding:
<?php m/d/Y ?>
To my website code to output the current date but it didn’t work. What am I missing?
I think you must do
Try with:
WordPress has a
current_time()
function that returns the blog time, which might differ from the server time if you selected a different timezone in your blog settings…
