Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Blog Time

Under the site's general admin settings -- at Settings -> General -- you'll find a "Blog Time Format" setting that accepts any valid PHP time format token. See https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php for more information regarding valid time format tokens. The widget and template tag also allow you to specify a time format directly. The default value for the time format, and the one used by the display of the blog time in the static admin widget, can be overridden by hooking the c2c_blog_time_format filter and returning the desired time format. This takes precedence over the setting's value.

The widget's "Use dynamic clock?" configuration setting may not be checked (which it is by default). Or JavaScript could be disabled in the browser.

Your machine may well be synced with the server's clock. One test you can perform is to change the blog's time zone (under Settings -> General). The blog's time will then be set to a different hour, which should then be reflected by the widget. Remember to change the time zone back to its proper value!

Yes, but only programmatically at the moment. Check out the docs for the 'c2c_blog_time_toolbar_widget_for_user' filter for more information and a code example.

See the Filters section for the 'c2c_blog_time_active_clock' filter, which includes an example line of code you'll need to add to your theme.

Via Settings -> General, you can set the "Blog Time Format" value to something like M d, Y, which results in a time format like "Jun 21, 2021". See https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php for other month, day, and year time format tokens.

Yes.
