-Check 'General settings/Appearance options' in your X-Cart admin back-end. The 'Date/time format' section shows your web-server's current date and time relative to GMT.
+Check the '<u>General settings/Appearance options</u>' page in your store's administration back-end. On this page, the fields '<u>Select date format</u>' and '<u>Select time format</u>' under the '''Date/time format''' section show your web server's current date and time relative to GMT.
-If your shop location time (relative to GMT) differs from the web-server's time, it is likely the reason of the problem.
+If the time at your shop location (relative to GMT) differs from the web server's time shown in the above said fields, the source of the problem is likely that the time difference between your shop location time and web server's time is not defined in X-Cart's settings.
-To solve the problem, enter the time difference (in hours) into the 'Time difference between shop location and host server location (hours)' field.
+To solve the problem, enter the time difference (in hours) into the '<u>Time difference between shop location and host server location (hours)</u>' field under the '''Date/time format''' section and save the changes.
-For example, let's say your current shop location date/time is May 16, 2012, 11:24 AM, but the 'Date/time format' section shows a different time - May 16, 2012, 01:24 AM. Hence, the time difference between your current shop location time and your web-server time is 11 hours. Thus, when you look for today orders by your local time (e.g. May 16, 2012, 08:24 AM), your web-server's current time may be one day back (e.g. May 15, 2012, 09:24 PM). In this case, your X-Cart will show today orders as zero.
+For example, let's say your current shop location date/time is May 16, 2012, 11:24 AM, but the '<u>Select date format</u>' and '<u>Select time format</u>' fields under the '''Date/time format''' section show a different date and time - May 16, 2012, 01:24 AM. This means that the actual difference between your current shop location time and your web server time is 11 hours. When you are looking for today's orders by your local time (e.g. May 16, 2012, 08:24 AM), your web server's current time is 11 hours back, and the web server's date is one day back (May 15, 2012, 09:24 PM). Now, if the difference between your current shop location time and web server's time is not defined in the '<u>Time difference between shop location and host server location (hours)</u>' field, X-Cart defines your shop location date and time based on the default value of that field, which is 0 (zero). Thus, your shop location date and time are believed to coincide with your web server's date and time, which is yesterday. This explains why X-Cart does not show your today's orders. If you enter 11 into the '<u>Time difference between shop location and host server location (hours)</u>' field, the problem will be solved.
