If you’re familiar with services like Google Photos, TimeHop, or even Facebook Memories, you most likely enjoyed getting little reminders of what happened in your life in years past. This little widget brings this feature to your site.
This widget, just like Google Photos does, will give you a list of posts that were published at around this time (within a week) in the past years. You can choose:
<ul>
<li>how many years back it should go.</li>
<li>how many posts should be displayed at maximum.</li>
<li>what post types to pick old posts from.</li>
<li>whether you’d like to display thumbnails for those posts.</li>
<li>whether you’d like to group your posts by year.</li>
<li>whether you’d like to look for posts on the exact day, years past, or around this time (within a week).</li>
</ul>

Posts On This Day

Widget to display a list of posts published "on this day" in years past. A good little bit of nostalgia for your blog.

On This Day (formerly “Room 34 presents On This Day”) is a simple widget that displays a list of blog posts that were published on the same date in previous years. Customization options include:
<ul>
<li>Title</li>
<li>Message to display if no posts are found</li>
<li>Maximum posts to display</li>
<li>Show featured images (if available)</li>
<li>Category filtering</li>
<li>Optional On This Day archive page (new in version 2.0)</li>
</ul>
Important: While not technically required, the On This Day archive page assumes your theme includes an archive.php file that uses the the_archive_title() function to display the page title.

On This Day (by Room 34)

Display your blog posts from this date in previous years as a sidebar widget.
