What It Does

This plugin adds a dynamic, functional clock to the admin bar to show the server time for the blog. The clock automatically updates as time passes, as you would expect of a digital clock.

This plugin also supports a static mode which puts a timestamp string at the top of all admin pages instead of the dynamic clock. This static admin time widget can be clicked to update the time in-place to show the new current server time.

Also provided is a 'Blog Time' widget that offers the same functionality as the admin widget for your sidebars. You may also utilize the plugin's functionality directly within a theme template via the template tag c2c_blog_time().

This is most useful to see the server/blog time to judge when a time-sensitive post, comment, or action would be dated by the blog. Thanks to Moment.js for the JavaScript date handling library.

FAQ

Under the site’s general admin settings — at Settings -> General — you’ll find a “Blog Time Format” setting that accepts any valid PHP time format token. See https://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.format.php for more information regarding valid time format tokens.

The widget and template tag also allow you to specify a time format directly.

The default value for the time format, and the one used by the display of the blog time in the static admin widget, can be overridden by hooking the c2c_blog_time_format filter and returning the desired time format. This takes precedence over the setting’s value.
