 * Looking to have a static page that displays posts that were published on the 
   same day.
 * For example if today was Oct 21, 2016, the page would display previous posts 
   that were published on Oct 21 in past years.
 * The next day the page would display posts that were published on Oct 22 in previous
   years.
 * Not sure how to make this happen but hoping there is a solution available.
 * Thanks for considering this request or offering suggestions!

 * this should do it.
 *     ```
       $args = array(
       	'monthnum'=> date('m'),
       	'day'=> date('d'),
       );
   
       $day_posts = new WP_Query($args);
       ```
   
 * However, if you want to use the client-side dates, then you will have to use 
   javascript to get the current date.
 * Also to display them on the front page or any other page, you will have to make
   a custom page template.

 * Wow, thanks wppatrickk!
 * The perfect solution would be to include the client-side dates. Sorry to ask 
   but does anyone have a solution for this too? I am willing to pay for a complete
   solution.
 * Thanks, again!
