rss timezone

[matija]

since we have own feed agregator, we notice that all feeds from wordpress platforms comes with wrong hour/timezone to us. i think, but im not sure, there must be in wp-includes/feed-rss2.php insted +0000, O?

Can you clarify, are the times in your RSS feed correct but in the wrong timezone, or incorrect and in the wrong timezone?

Have you set an offset in Options -> General in the administration pages? If you do change the offset, remember that it will only effect new posts and not change existing ones.

Replying to matija:

Options > General : UTC time is: 2007-08-16 3:44:21 pm
Weblog should differ by : 2 hours

That's fine.

Default time format : Output: 17:44 (right!)
after publishing ...
Manage Posts > When: 2007-08-16 5:44:52 pm

That also fine. The informally displayed date is as you'd expect.

RSS feed : <pubDate>Thu, 16 Aug 2007 15:44:21 +0000</pubDate>
Server "date": Thu Aug 16 17:45:44 CEST 2007

That's also correct - your post was published at Thu, 16 Aug 2007 15:44:21 +0000. Your RSS reader should be converting that into your preferred local time.

I realise this is not too helpful but everything appears to be correct.

Closing as invalid for now, based on pishmishy -- looks correct to me. I think there are numerous discussions previously about pubDate being GMT.
