Function get_date_from_gmt() returns GMT time, if called from bbPress page

[Udar Gromov]

I am looking for a solution to this problem.

WordPress function get_date_from_gmt($post->post_modified_gmt) usually returns a date and time in your site time zone. However, if this function is called from bbPress page, it always returns GMT time.

I started to dig dipper. Function depends on GMT offset returned by get_option(‘gmt_offset’). When called from bbPress this function returns nothing. As a result get_date_from_gmt() always returns GMT time.

Here is a chart:

function get_date_from_gmt() is in wp-includesformatting.php

function get_option() is in wp-includesfunctions.php

A TEMP solution for this problem is to hard-coded your offset fix in

wp-includesformatting.php:

// ***** 2011-03-08 TU 23:09  Use -5, if no offset returned *****

// $string_localtime = gmdate($format, $string_time +

get_option('gmt_offset')*3600);

$myOffset = (get_option('gmt_offset'))?  get_option('gmt_offset'): -5;

$string_localtime = gmdate($format, $string_time + $myOffset*3600);

Problem solved using free NetBeans IDE 6.9.1 with Xdebug 2.1.0. Thank you!

All I had to do was to add one line of code to ‘bbpressmy-templatesMYfunctions.php’ file:

‘add_filter( ‘pre_option_gmt_offset’,’wp_timezone_override_offset’ );’
