Thanks!

Excellent! Thanks for confirming :-)

Worked like a charm ;)

Thanks for following up!

Added ' date_default_timezone_set('Europe/Moscow'); ' string to function.php.

It doesn't affected to my phpinfo() but I hope that it will override default timezone settings in the theme. Will test it in 00:00 tonight :)

Hi there,

Timezones are a bit confusing for sure. I myself have issues with my personal site. I'm not entirely sure if this is a theme related thing or a WordPress related issue.

I did a search and found this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wrong-timezone-despite-correct-options

Let me know if that helps at all. Sorry I don't have an answer for you.

Best,

Chris

Also, for that users who using cyrillic languages and have issues with encoding:

change 126 line of header.php with this

<?php
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'ru_RU.UTF-8');
echo strftime("%A | %B %e, %Y");
?>

It will help you to localize date (in this case in Russian) and show it with correct encoding, not with strange symbols ;)

it's already 03.03 in Moscow but my web-site still shows "Sunday March 2nd, 2014"

Hellol I have a new issue, for some reason the date that shows is not in the correct timezone as selected in my WP dashboard general settings. Any thoughts?

Thanks for sharing! :-)

Best,

Chris

I was just about to post a suggestion about translation issues :)
I've found this plugin which is absolutely easy to use: CodeStyling Localization

It edits po. and generates mo. in a very intuitive way.

Have a happy weekend both of you (in the spanish side of the world it's just about to start!)

You bet!

All the formatting options for strftime are available here: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php

You rule! it works like a charm! just need to make it all with first letter in uppercase and its perfect. Thank you!

Hi there,

I really appreciate the nice remarks :-)

I did a search and found this:

<?php
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'es_ES');

echo strftime("%A %B %e, %Y");
?>

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Chris

Thanks.

Chris your theme is one of the best I've seen for newspaper, thanks for this, but please make it easier to translate the date in the near future.

I've tried almost everything (wish I knew more programming) to change the language of the top left date but had no luck with it. Do you have any advice? I know this might be off Daily Press main theme topic but I have tried different approaches with no luck.

I changed the locale.php, added the language es_ES to the wp config, tampered a bit with the header.php and still the language on the top left keeps showing in english.

As a side note, I am translating the POT file to spanish, if you would like a copy of the file let me know where to send it.

Regards,

Gianni

P.S. thanks for been a good sport with the forums, if I ever need a new theme for new projects I will sure look here first.

Hi there,

The date is generated by PHP on line 126 of header.php...

<?php echo date('l F jS, Y');?>

The "Follow Us" text is on line 124 of header.php.

Hope that helps!

Best,

Chris

I would like to know from where is the theme fetching the local date, the one on the top left corner, and where is the top right Follow us phrase?

I learned how to change the locale.php of wp for the dates but still it doesnt changes the top date.

Just wondering is it easier if I just change the .po file?
