Cron Jobs work on wrong time

[danielhuesken]

Cron jobs runs on German Pages 2 Houers later as Scheduled!

if I'm change the wp-cron.php the line:
$local_time = time();
to
$local_time = current_time('timestamp');

its working corectliy.

The cron API uses GMT time, not local time. Note time() in wp-includes/cron.php and check_and_publish_future_post() trying to strtotime() the post's post_date_gmt.

As nacin says, the variable may be confusingly named, but it is meant to be GMT.

In [21954]:

Use $gmt_time rather than $local_time in cron, since it uses GMT/UTC and not a local timestamp. see #14391.
