This article was not helpful. We have tried the above instructions, and the site still uses UTC time. Another forum suggested adding code to a php.ini file, although that is beyond our skill level here. Our site will be seen in multiple time zones and we need for the times to be local to each user. Is there a Joomla plugin to handle time zones?
Unfortunately, since the article doesn’t address your goal, I recommend asking the Joomla community forum for the best way to accomplish this.
