Question
Change Local Time Zone?
Hi there,
I acted before thinking this through. I was working in my WordPress (LEMP) site and noticed the time was off. Instead of making the Local Timezone fix in Settings > General as one normally does, I tried changing it through SSH.
This is my current configuration for $ timedatectl
Local time: Thu 2020-02-27 16:34:51 EST
Universal time: Thu 2020-02-27 21:34:51 UTC
RTC time: Thu 2020-02-27 21:34:52
Time zone: UTC (EST, -0500)
System clock synchronized: yes
systemd-timesyncd.service active: no
RTC in local TZ: no
My WordPress General Settings now shows:
Universal time is 2020-02-27 16:28:00
. Local time is 2020-02-27 16:28:00
.
So, I’m guessing the (EST, -0500)
for Time zone: UTC (EST, -0500)
is coming from Local time
.
When I check $ date
it shows me the local EST time instead of the UTC that I’m looking for.
Despite how easy it was to mess this up, I can’t seem to undo the change.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
TIA!
