Down the Rabbit Hole: WordPress and Timezones

“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland A few months ago, we were working on the WooCommerce Pre-Orders extension and had to think about how we wanted to store the release date & time.
