From the readme

WordPress On-This-Day Plugin This simple plugin generates an HTML page or RSS feed of your blog posts which were published "on this day" in the past. For example, if today is 21st of November 2016 then this will show a list of blog posts written on 2015-11-21 2014-11-21 2013-11-21 And so on. RSS demo at https://shkspr.mobi/blog/?onthisday HTML demo at https://shkspr.mobi/blog/on-this-day/ Limitations Times The entries in the RSS feed are generated on an hourly basis. For example, if the time is 1300 the RSS feed will only show blog posts published on or before 1300 on their original publication day. This allows services like IFTTT to post the feed to Twitter throughout the day rather than all at once. Location This plugin lives at https://example.com/?onthisday. The results are not cached. It can be placed on any WordPress page with the shortcode [edentonthisday] Images The thumbnail from the post is also included. Times and Locale The RSS feed is hardcoded to GMT and en-GB - this may change in the future.
