This article is dedicated to those who use WordPress. You can do this manually or by selecting a city, thus the timezone will be shown according to the city that you select. Let’s start with the selection of the timezone using the city and then to explain how to set the timezone manually, if you can’t do it using the name of your city, or if you cannot find it. By the way, the name of your city might not be in the list with all the cities or towns around the world, but you may select a city from your country that is the nearest to your region, to your actual location. You must select the timezone and see if it corresponds with the time from the location where you are when you are selecting it.
If you travel a lot, you still have to select a timezone. It would be better to keep that timezone and not change it everytime you move from one city to another. You know what time is it. It is not necessarily for your blog to know in what city are you right now. The blog knows its timezone and it is enough. So, don’t change the timezone so often, because you will confuse not only your blog, but also your readers.
Enter the Dashboard, go to the Settings and from there to the General tab. Scroll to Timezone and pick a city from the drop-down list that you see in front of your eyes. After selecting the timzone, you can select also the date format, the time format and the week to start on.. Monday, Tuesday and so on.
Once this is saved on your blog, all the posts will appear by having this timezone forward. The WordPress site uses the UTC time standard. It is a method for updating your posts everytime you read one. They can be updated even if you don’t publish them yet. Have you ever happened to write a blog and suddenly the Web browser to have an error and to be restored in a second? I have. Well, what could happen to the content I wrote in the WP Dashboard? The content could have been lost, if the WP did not have a feature, that let it save the content written by the bloggers in every minute or so. In other words, all that you write is transmitted to the WP servers, as long as you write the words into the Dashboard, in the visual or HTML variant of text editor.
You can manually select the timezone, if you follow the same steps as beforem but instead of seeing the cities and of picking the city where you live or the closest city to your location, you can select the UTC time. The other features of the timezone are the same as when you select the timezone by choosing the city. These are the date format, the time format and the first day of the week. Now, we only use the selection of the timezone by clicking on the right city. This option also tells us what UTC time is, if we are curios.
