Smart Archives Reloaded

Description

Smart Archives Reloaded allows you to display a list of posts grouped by year and month. It also provides several interesting navigation elements.

Format list:

• list = a list of posts grouped by month
• block = a compact block of links to year and date archive pages
• menu = a two-level menu with links to year and date archive pages
• both = block + list (example)
• fancy = menu + list + JavaScript (example)

No support

I do not offer support for this plugin, either free or paid.

Credits:

• Justin Blanton, for the original Smart Archives plugin
• Simon Pritchard, for the fancy format

Installation

See Installing Plugins.

After activating it, create a new page or post and add [smart_archives] to the content.

Alternatively, you can add <?php smart_archives(); ?> anywhere in your theme, where you want the archives displayed.

See https://scribu.net/wordpress/smart-archives-reloaded for more usage examples.

Error on activation: “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected…”

Make sure your host is running PHP 5. The only foolproof way to do this is to add this line to wp-config.php (after the opening <?php tag):

var_dump(PHP_VERSION);

Fancy archive not working

In footer.php in your theme directory, make sure you have this code somewhere:

<?php wp_footer(); ?>.

How can I change the CSS or HTML?

Still works well

While this plugin is old and unsupported, it still works well. One of the only plugins I’ve found that will layout a decade of posts in a user friendly manner. Thank you for your hard work on this plugin. I really like the fancy setting, lays it out by year then month.

DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN.

[ Moderator note: image link removed. You can post that on your own site if you like but please do not post emails here on these forums. ] Scribu is without a doubt, the [ expletive deleted ] I have ever come in contact with in my entire life. Not only does he refuse to check and answer anyone that has created a topic in the support forum for this Plugin, he thinks he is not obligated to help those that ask for his help on HIS PLUGIN. There aren’t enough options within the settings once you download the Plugin, and to be honest, I had to do quite a bit of CSS tweeking and some PHP changes to get it to what I wanted it to look like. The moment I sent him a personal email to ask if he would be kind enough to take a look at the support forum, ^ ^ ^ That happened. DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN.
