Here’s a nice idea to give a second life to your old posts: This code display automatically the posts you published exactly one year ago.
To achieve this recipe, simply paste the following code where you want posts published exactly one year ago to appear.
<?php
$current_day = date('j');
$last_year = date(‘Y’)-1;
query_posts('day='.$current_day.'&year='.$last_year);
if (have_posts()):
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_title();
the_excerpt();
endwhile;
endif;
?>

Hmm, for some reason this makes loops following it fail to execute. No errors though…
@BabyGotMac: If you use two different loops, you might need to use the rewind_posts() function.
perfect recipe for aged blogs
Excellent recipe which makes for a delicious way to showcase posts from the archive via a specified time frame.
I will be able to use this from next on… when my blog becomes 1 year old.
Thanks for this great tip and idea !
ahem… I wanted to say “from next week on”, of course.
hi, I love this. This is exactly what I need!
I have two questions however…
1) For some reason, it’s pulling a post from November 9th instead of July 9th. Any idea why this might be? It’s supposed to be exactly one year ago to the day right? Or did I read this post wrong?
2) So if there are no posts to be displayed does the PHP call hide itself so that it doesn’t break the interface if there’s nothing to be displayed?
@ Miles
For the question 1 : Look at the code, you have $current_day and $current_year but not $current_month. I think it’s the reason why.
for question 2 : could be nice for sure to have an echo “no post this date” but I’m not able to write code, sorry.
