  I am on the Pacific coast of the U.S. My blog tonight is showing results for 4/15 in my stats. How do I set the time zone for where I am at?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello!

  If you login into your WordPress dashboard and on the left side hover over Settings, then click on General, you will be able to update your time zone there.

  I hope this helps!

  Go to your WordPress Dashboard – https://wordpress.com/my-blogs/

  Click on “Dashboard” for the blog you are trying to edit.

  On the left side of your dashboard select “Settings”.

  There you will be able to change the timezone for your blog.

  However, wordpress.com and the stats features are all on GMT/UTC time.

  Not really – my stats reset at midnight local time –

  the “your site has a lot of traffic” is on UTC so if you have high traffic after after midnight URC 0000 – and it is not yet midnight local time – the link sent you will jump to tomorrow and some sort of error happens –

  I was just going off of what thesacredpath said in this thread. Its a bit old so it may be out of date.

  Yes it is a bit out of date – if you use the time zone option your blog time should adjust automatically for daylight savings time (in the U.S. any way) – way easier that adjusting UTC ( -0700 or – 0800 for me depending on if daylight savings time is in effect)
