    I´m looking in to the ability to use wordpress for showing a specific post at a specific date, and only that date.

    Lets say I create a post “today is the first of may”. Then I want that post to be shown every time it is 1:st of may.

    I´ve found the Around this date in the past… plugin but is there all that exists?

    Has anyone else done this?

    How many posts are you going to have like that?

    I´m not sure yet, but maybe 300 – 400.

    Therefor I need it automated 🙂 It is an option to go with joomla or something similar, but I would rather do it with WP.

    WP is centered on chronological sorting/publishing of posts , and I want to do something different than that, I know.

    This will query for posts that have today’s month and day:

    $today = getdate();
$args=array(
   'monthnum' => $today["mon"],
   'day' => $today["mday"]
   );
query_posts($args);

    See:
    query_posts()
