  • Do you know when you have an archive list of articles written, and they are in categories, date etc….

    Well on my site:

    https://www.nicktoye.co.uk/thoughts.php

    When I click on a month it takes me straight through to the article at the top of that list rather then list all the articles in that section, do you know why this is?

    Cheers

    Nick

  • I suspect you have set in Options > Reading to show 1 post on the a webpage. That applies to all your blog pages, be it monthly or category archives.
    That’s how WP work, the only workaround is using plugins. Here are two of them:

    No what I want is it to display all the articles in that category/month, but only the title and an excert.

    You will have to edit your archive.php template and replace the_content with the the_excerpt.
    That will display only the excerpt and not the whole article.
    However, because you set your Reading Options to 1 (one) post – it will display 1 (one) excerpt. Use the plugins I linked.

    Hi what I wanted to I think, and I am sorry for the confusion, is to be able to have a list of all the articles in that month. Like I have for the recent articles list, I want to be able to click say December and every article written in December will be in a list form, which I can then link to view the article.
