Wordpress admin cannot publish posts

Question

I have Wordpress installed on my local wamp platform. I used it for a while without any problem. However today without any unusual change I am not able to publish any pages/posts anymore. I am the only user in wordpress with admin rights.

I thought it might be corrupted, so I installed a fresh Wordpress instance. Did not change anything, no plugins, just went directly to posts to publish, but it is not in the dropdown list, I can select only 'Pending Review' and 'Draft'.

To be even more strange, same time this happened in my live site as well. I am on a shared hosting environment, so totally different space from my localhost. (Though code was copied from localhost to production.)

Has anybody experienced similar in the past?

Please take look into settings - general and check your timezone! It should be something like UTC+0, NOT e.g. Berlin, Zagreb, etc.

I had the same issue after hours of debugging and at least, I changed the timezone to UTC+0 and it worked.
