How to configure dates and time zones in wordpress.

By default, WordPress displays dates in the format April 30, 2014, and times in the format 2:42pm. Additionally, WordPress uses UTC (Coordinated Universal Time, or GMT) to determine the time to display.

However, you can customize all of these settings for your own site. To do this, follow these steps:

  • Log in to WordPress as the administrator.
  • Under Dashboard, click Settings, and then click General.
