My scheduled posts are publishing incorrectly
-
Hello,
I’m having a problem with my scheduled posts. For example, I had one scheduled for today at 1:00pm, but it published itself at 8:30 in the morning. I’ve had this happen on 3 posts so far. If you could help me with this, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Emily,
I think the issue is that your blog is currently set to the default UTC time zone. You can adjust your blog’s time zone here:
https://wearehalftheworld.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php
That post on January 5th published on 1:21pm (UTC)… the reason of 1:21 and not 1pm is because a scheduled post will actually publish for the first viewer on/after the scheduled time. (Read more on that here.)
An exception to this being that if you set a post to Publicize, it will always go out at the exact time instead of waiting for the viewer, that way it pushes to each social network at that time as well.
Let me know if you have more questions! :)
