    I am one of those that has freaked out on MT and am trying to move my site to wp…
    (hard to learn another system but wp is promising)
    My problem is: I want one startpage with links to two or three different parts of my site, f ex: Gardening, Photos, ETC. WHen one get to the Gardening page there are links to the four or more categories ex:Roses, fuchsias…(all that is done) But I also want one link to a “diary” (i e a category that is totally based on dates with a calendar in the sidebar and monthly archives (from THAT category only). I have it in MT on my site:www.omstart.se but I really really would like to convert to wp. Mt have become something only experts can manage (which of course is very good for business;-)) Please help! I have searched the forum and manual but i do not find the solution.

  • Do you still want to display archives for other categories?
    I was working under the impression that you only ever wanted archives for the diary category!

    Now I have a wp blog that displays four categories. One of them displays it′s own entries in monthly archives;-)

    It was as simple as asking my son to fix it, he is good with php and mysql.

    I wont post the code here (it’s long and tedious) but mail me and I will send a copy of my functions.template.general.

    If I understand it right he just made cat() an option in wp_get_archives

    So in sidebar.php I have a elseif is_category(number of cat)
    And farther down wp_get_archive (monthly, number of cat)
    works perfectly actually and now I can stay with wp! ??

    Erhm
    a warning though:
    with this mod one cannot use pretty permalinks. I’ll have to get back to the son;-) If he solves it I’ll get back here.

    If he solves it, could you let us know and we can ask to see the solution? It sounds VERY useful and tons of posts ask specifically for some way to filter by category AND month…
