Introduction

Joomla is one of the most popular CMS platforms in the world that powers millions of websites on the internet. Joomla is available in all different regions, speaking all different languages around the globe. Therefore, it is important to have a good time zone management system correctly set up for this platform. Fortunately, Joomla does a very good job of managing and operating all this. The built-in website time zone system will enable us to make changes directly from the configuration settings. So it is easy and convenient for every country to match this amazing platform.
