thanks i’ve tried these but they dont seem to work. i tried the

<select name="archive-dropdown" onchange="document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
  <option value=""><?php echo esc_attr( __( 'Select Month' ) ); ?></option>
  <?php wp_get_archives( 'type=monthly&format=option&show_post_count=1' ); ?>
</select>

[Please post code snippets between backticks or use the code button.]

code and this displays a list of all the months and post numbers of the posts but when i go to the month it takes me to a link https://www.mysite.co/11/2011 and i get 404 page not found instead of a list of all the posts from november

any help?

If I use the code you provided on my testsite it works correctly and has this url structure: https://testsite.dev/2011/08/
try:
– deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

Please provide a link to the page in question.

i totally deactivated all my plugins and still didn’t work ??

checked my permalink setting and i cant see a problem, its set to customom of /%day%/%monthnum%/%year%/%postname%/ but can’t see that being a problem.

im pasting that code into the archive.php file in the pace i would like it to appear.

i’ll pm you the link

oh there is no PM option on here

here is the link to the news section of my site with the drop down at the top.

https://www.theeyemagazine.co.uk/category/local-news/

also is there a way to make a archive file just for this catogary?

if i go to a page like

https://www.theeyemagazine.co.uk/25/11/2011/

this shows all the posts for that day but if i remove the 25/ its says page not displayed so its not showing all the posts from that month…

something missing somewhere in my archieve file i guess

i have figgure out that if i put a 0 infront of the listing it s will then display the whole month… ie 0/11/2011 will display all of november

not sure how i can get the 0 to be added to the link url when using the dropdown… any help

even the arcieve widget for the sidebar doesn’t work eithger, this take me to the same place as before and the 404 error page

i have now found it has to do with the custom permalinks, i have change my links back to a default option of day and name and the montly filter is working, this is a shame as its a uk magazine site and would of been nice to have my urls is UK order of d/m/y instead of the /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ wordpress filter works on.

any ideas?
