Hi,

I am using below code in functions.php to set post expiration time, to the last minute/second of the current month:

function func_my_custom_sample_expiration($post_id, $form_data)
{
    if (($form_data['id'] == 462) or ($form_data['id']==628)) {
  	// Modify the automated expiration time to use last minute of last day of current month
	// Note that times here are UTC. WordPress then translates to local times.
	$new_expiration = mktime(21, 59, 59, date("n"), date("t"));
	update_post_meta($post_id, '_cred_post_expiration_time', $new_expiration);
    }
}
add_action('cred_save_data', 'func_my_custom_sample_expiration',15,2);

Above code works fine and in the backend in the "Settings for Post Expiration Date", the post expiration shows as December 31, 2017, 23:59 which is correct.

Now, to print expiration date, I use:

[cred-post-expiration id=$active_sample_id format='j F Y, H:i']

It prints December 31, 2017, 21:59 which is wrong as it is two hours earlier.
Also, please note that at my WP General Settings, timezone is set to Athens, which is UTC+2.

This printing of expiration time at two hours difference, looks like a bug to me.
Please check it out.

Thank you,
Kostas

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - first of all, I would like to know what is "$active_sample_id", is it assigning ID? what if you try to assign static ID to "id" attribute?

Could you please just confirm my doubt of "$active_sample_id" what value that give you and what it prints when you use static ID.

I see one related ticket and I will get in touch with you as soon as possible.

Hi MInesh,

Thank you for responding.

If I use static ID like:

[cred-post-expiration id=814 format='j F Y, H:i']

it prints the same: December 31, 2017, 21:59
