How to automatically adjust to daylight savings time in WordPress

If your WordPress time is not automatically adjusting to daylight savings time, you may have your time zone set to a UTC offset rather than a city name. When set to a city name, WordPress automatically applies daylight savings time for that city.

Instructions

  1. Sign into your WordPress website with an admin account

  2. From the side menu, select Settings > General

  3. Scroll down to the Timezone setting

  4. If you are set to a UTC offset, click the dropdown and scroll up to the city names

  5. Select a city in your same time zone

    For a list of recommended cities, see a table of cities at How to select the best city for the time zone in WordPress.
