Timezone Drop down options

[Sean]

In the timezone dropdown is there anyway to add EST, Central, etc. to the list. Some of my users are not sure what city to pick from the dropdown.

Hey Sean,

Sorry for the delayed response here! It is unfortunately not possible to add timezones there. 🙁

Well, it is technically possible, but would take a large amount of custom coding and delicate implementation of custom timezones.

Our plugins use the timezones provided by PHP and WordPress itself. If you head to Settings → General in your wp-admin, you’ll notice that the timezone options there are the same ones that end up in the various timezone pickers in our plugins. The “colloquial” / common named timeones like “EST”, “Central”, “Mountain” etc. are unfortunately not available at this time.

I hate to bear that news! Please let me know if there’s anything else I can try to help with.

Sincerely,
George
