It surprises me that there is no built-in function in WordPress to generate date/month/year permalinks

I thought that was what "custom structure" under Settings > Permalinks was for

anything to check / be concerned about with upgrading from WP 5.4.4 to 5.7?

[scojjac]: It's about generating them from a post
#
GWG
I want my post to link to other posts that day/week/month

[jeremyfelt]
`get_day_link()`, `get_month_link()`, and `get_year_link()` will generate day/month/year archive permalinks for posts
#
GWG
[jeremyfelt]: I know,the functionality could be enhanced
#
[jeremyfelt]
ahhh, I see your trac ticket now 🙂
#
GWG
[jeremyfelt]: I realized I explained it poorly
#
GWG
It's a problem I intend to tackle in plugin form
#
GWG
But I think like get_post_datetime introduced in 5.3, we should have more functions that use objects
#
GWG
[jeremyfelt]: How goes your blocks?
#
[jeremyfelt]
Very slowly. But! I do have another plugin that was approved on Monday that I’ll get uploaded today that I think is a lot of fun so far.
#
GWG
I had one approved yesterday
#
GWG
For time tricks
#

I’ve seen some of that chatter here. I’m excited to check it out - especially after I get all of my tweets/instagram posts imported
#
GWG
[jeremyfelt]: Any ideas you have are always appreciated. The reason I filed the trac ticket was I realized that WordPress lacks next previous functionality for archives
#
GWG
So if I'm looking at July, I can't easily click to June
#
GWG
So I want to add some of that in my work, but some parts would be nice in Core
#
GWG
Also, I want to link from a post to other posts from the day, week, etc
#
[tantek]
I wish WordPress had a "Show Changes" button (like our wiki!) right next to the "Preview" button when updating a blog post
#
GWG
Interesting idea

tantek WP 5.7 just came out, so not many here may have done the update yet (I haven't). might be worth waiting a few days to ask again?
