I have a fix for this but the retarded forums won't let me post it saying I can't post external links even though there's not a single external link in the post. /fail

Anyway I'm going to PM it to you Donald since you seem like someone who may be able to get it into Civi. I didn't clone the git repo or anything so I can't just submit a pull request. If you'd be so kind as to repost my post here for me for anyone else who needs this working before it gets fixed in the core, I'd appreciate it ;)

i dont know if wp-cron.php is extensible, if so might be good to write a small plugin to hook civi's cron.php to wp's wp-cron.php

civi needs to handle the tz setting from the CMS in a better manner. right now it just uses the default setting from php

lobo

The timezone issue still exists, at least when polling scheduled jobs with cli.php. Better integrating civi's cron into WP's would be great...

I took a look at this for someone - I can't understand why it is not being reported more as my reading of the code is that in 4.4 this should affect everyone who sends time-sensitive scheduled reminders & doesn't have their server in England. In this case people were receiving event reminders 5 hours late ... after the event was finished.

Basically the patch Nicolas Submitted appears to also be required in the authenticateScript - the script bootstraps WP which sets the timezone to UTC. The tz needs to be switched back. Note that it didn't seem necessary in this context to reset the default tz afterwards

This is now definitely fixed on our site.  All times in CiviCRM correctly display correctly based on the WordPress timezone setting.
