Footer Timezone Display

Current site time and WordPress timezone in the admin footer for scheduling and team coordination.

Overview

Footer Timezone Display shows the current server time and timezone in the admin footer of every admin page. The format uses your site’s date and time settings (e.g. “March 2, 2025 3:45 pm (America/New_York)”). This helps when scheduling posts, coordinating with teams in different time zones, or verifying that timezone settings are correct. If you use Custom Admin Footer Text for the right side, the timezone display is appended after it with a separator. No configuration needed—enable and it appears.

Who is this for?
Content managers who schedule posts, developers debugging time-related issues, or teams working across time zones who need to know the site's current time.
