    Hello,

    I am having an issue where drip content set for Day 1 is being released to users on Day 0. I believe the issue has to do with timezone coordination between various places.

    This is what I know:

    My php.ini / MySQL server / hosting server are all set to Mountain Standard Time - MST = (GMT/UTC -7:00).

    This is the problem:

    Drip content set to Day 1 is being delivered immediately (i.e. Day 0) when someone signs up for the product from MST 5:00 PM-12:00AM. During the other part of the day, it is delivered correctly.

    This leads me to believe that SOMETHING is set to GMT/UTC timezone. I believe that what might be happening is that users are given a GMT/UTC datestamp? in either the Amember or Wordpress MySQL database - so when they sign up for a product between MST 5:00 PM-12:00AM on Day 0, their 'datestamp' actually is already Day 1.

    Does anyone have any ideas on what might be going on?

    I can change my php.ini file (which I've already tried changing to UTC/GMT and that doesn't work). I cannot change my hosting server or MySQL timezone setting because I'm on shared hosting.

    Any ideas would be MUCH appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Ryan
