Hi @SergeyBiryukov, you are right, I didn't see that setting for the UTC
timezone.
But wouldn't it be better to still use gmdate(). If for any reason the
default timezone was changed by a user, then current_time( 'format', true)
wouldn't return the GMT time (the expected value) since date() only
formats a local time and would then be affected by
date_default_timezone_set() change.
