> If we let the user set their time zone, then I figured we should also have that setting override Discourse’s setting so that they’re in sync. This is what I wanted to know if [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045) provides. It sounds like it does not.

No, you can’t set timezones via [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true), and I’d recommend against attempting to do it too, as cross-platform/standard timezone portability is a bit of a minefield (there are multiple “standard” lists of timezones with slight differences).

Not in a structured sense. I’m in the process of overhauling all of the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) documentation and will be publishing a comprehensive list of actions and filters 🙂
