Why do my orders or scheduled posts show the wrong time?
The time shown can depend on your application settings, PHP’s time zone and how the database stores dates. These do not need to match: storing timestamps in UTC is common, and the application can convert them for display.
Start by checking your website’s time zone setting. In WordPress, choose Bucharest for Romanian local time rather than a fixed UTC offset, so seasonal clock changes are taken into account. Then compare the time of a test order with its confirmation email. If the discrepancy remains, check the relevant plugin’s settings. Do not edit timestamps directly in the database before identifying the cause.
