Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview
About this plugin
This is a compilation of many tweaks to improve your site, including…
Date Based Archives will show up from oldest to newest, instead of newest first. When you are scrolling through memory lane, you want to do it in order.
Adds the %dayofyear% tag so you can have your permalinks as /%year%/%dayofyear% instead of month and day.
Adds On This Day URLs and Widgets /onthisday
Adds This Week URLs and Widgets /thisweek
Adds /updated, /random, /oldest as top level archives
Adds the %week% tag so you can have your permalinks include the year and adds the option for 2021/W21 to indicate Week 21 of the year.
Adds the [tempus_onthisday] and [tempus_thisweek] shortcodes, which show the same lists as the widgets on any page. They accept title, number, taxonomy, term, and nonefound attributes, for example [tempus_onthisday title=”On This Day” taxonomy=”category” term=”travel”].
Adds a Random Memory widget and [tempus_random] shortcode that show a random post from all time, from this day in previous years, or from this week in previous years, optionally limited to a category, tag, or other term. For example [tempus_random period=”week” taxonomy=”post_tag” term=”family”].
On This Day and This Week also work on category, tag, and other taxonomy archives, such as /category/travel/onthisday/ and /tag/family/thisweek/. The widgets and shortcodes can be limited to a term.
Adds template functions for date archive navigation that link to the nearest earlier and later dates with posts, on day, month, year, week, and day-of-year archives.
Adds a Minor update checkbox to the classic editor that saves a post without changing its last updated date.
