Comment (by balykin95):

 Replying to [comment:4 Rarst]:
 > Could you please check what does `date_default_timezone_get()` returns
 at that point? It **must** be set to `UTC` in WP environment, which core
 does during load.

 mostly likely reason for `date()` to be off (if your server clock is
 verified to be correct).

 If i add

 {{{
 echo date("h:i:s ");
 echo date_default_timezone_get();
 die;
 }}}

 before "require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/admin.php' );" then I get:

 {{{
 10:25:42 Europe/London
 }}}

 If I place it after "require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/admin.php' );"
 then:

 {{{
 01:26:24 UTC
 }}}



 server time for now:
 {{{
