Hi,
I would need to create a date and time field. However, in the wizard I only see the option to select date. How can I proceed?

Hi,
perfect. One last question, I value this field from one of my functions. In the backend/frontend I always see the wrong timezone. Do I need to vary any settings?

From function I value it like this

$date = current_time('timestamp');
update_post_meta($bookingID, 'wpcf-date-time', $date);

My timezone is Europe/Rome. In the backend/fronted I always see it with one hour less.

Hi,
the value of my date field is handled by a php function. Unfortunately, I cannot craere this function in your test.

The problem only exists in your website, and it is a custom PHP codes issue, can you copy/paste your custom PHP function here?

Hi Luo Yang,
This is the code

$date = current_time('timestamp', 0);
update_post_meta($post_ID, 'test-date-1', $date);

I have tried it in a fresh WP installation + the latest version of Toolset plugins, it works fine.

1) Create a custom date field "date-time"
versteckter Link

2) Create a post and display above date field "date-time":
versteckter Link

3) Add the custom PHP codes you mentioned above into theme file "functions.php":
versteckter Link
line 69~71:

$bookingID = 34;
$date = current_time('timestamp');
update_post_meta($bookingID, 'wpcf-date-time', $date);

Test above post in frontend:
versteckter Link
It can display current date time correctly.

Can you reproduce the same problem in above test site?
