Apparently this is impossible ! ?

There is no 00:00 when you are using AM or PM.

That's a 12 hour clock, it goes from 1 to 12. Note the AM and PM buttons next to the time.

12:59 PM transitions to 1:00 AM.

ok so Day 00:00 is Day-1 12:00 pm

great !

sorry for disturbing !

Yes, because you cannot schedule something for the past.

12:00 AM is the first minute of every day. It's midnight. It's 00:00 in 24 hour notation.

So, April 3rd 12:00 PM would be noon, which was 1:46 ago your time.

April 4th 12:00 PM would be the next day's noon, still in the future.

Edit: Sorry, you confused me with your numbers here. I'm not used to converting to 24 hour time and back.

To put it simply:

• 12:00 AM = 00:00
• 1:00 AM = 01:00
• 12:00 PM = 12:00
• 1:00 PM = 13:00
• 11:59 PM = 23:59

Does that help? The 11:59 PM to 12:00 AM switch marks the day change.

not sure this is how it works, here are some incoherence ...
screenshots (from trunk) following are ...

(1) scheduling a post
(2) post scheduled
(3) list of scheduled posts and tooltips
(4) in wp_cron (personal development but the other posts are coherent )

could it be alternative use of date_i18n() and wp_date() ?

May be i misunderstood the whole thing
It has to be re_checked

[arena]

sorry read the wrong dates forget it definitely closed

[arena]

was confused because 11:00 am is 11:00 am and 12:00 am is 00:00 ... make sense ?

[Otto42]

Yes, I understand. The wikipedia article makes it more clear: ​https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12-hour_clock

But yes, 12am then 1am and so on, until 11am switches to 12pm. It's not what you would expect if you are not used to it.

better explained on the french page with a paragraph on noon and midnight confusion
