Comments on: Adobe Contribute and Wordpress Timezone bug http://www.leftcolumn.net/2007/10/16/adobe-contribute-and-wordpress/ Covering Mac OS X, Mac Software, and other stuff Sun, 08 Aug 2010 22:03:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Stephanie http://www.leftcolumn.net/2007/10/16/adobe-contribute-and-wordpress/comment-page-1/#comment-201 Stephanie Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:08:26 +0000 http://www.leftcolumn.net/2007/10/16/adobe-contribute-and-wordpress/#comment-201 Believe it or not, I did solve it, on this server, at least (HostGator). The trick was to add a line to .htaccess on the server specifying the time zone, then setting the time zone the same in WordPress, rebuilding the connection in Contribute (not sure if that was necessary) and ALWAYS clearing out the time stamp in Contribute before publishing. I'm still not sure if everything will work smoothy and may end up in the same situation you were in -- just having to give up on the WordPress part...

I couldn't fix it in the time I had available, so I basically took the site and turned it into a static site with Contribute tags in it. The client didn't really know or care either way, so I had the option of doing that. The way Wordpress and Contribute worked together (or didn't) just seemed so flaky that the solution seemed like a liability. It seems like the issues might stem from poor support for internationalisation, and it seemed more likely to be Contribute miscalculating the Date and Time than Wordpress, but I didn't have much time to spend on it. The client owned Contribute and wanted to use it, so Wordpress had to go in this case! I use Wordpress with lots of sites and I like it a great deal more than Contribute. Anyway, good luck and drop me a line if you get it fixed! Sorry, no.

I'm having the same issue with Contribute CS4 and WP 2.8 and no amount of fiddling (yet) with the time zone on WP has fixed it.
