Display posts on today’s date

Hi

I am attempting to develop a page template for a category that allows the display of posts that were published on the same date (excluding the year). e.g. For today it would display all posts dated 8th February. I have code for this which is:

add_action('pre_get_posts', 'cgy_same_day');

function cgy_same_day($query) {

    if ($query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query()) {

        $today = getdate();

        $query->set('date_query', array(

            array(

                'day' => $today['mday'],

                'month' => $today['mon'],

            ),

        ));

        $query->set('post_status' ,  array('publish','future'));

    } 

    return;

}

Is it possible to use this code to display posts as required please?

Thanks

Rich
