How to set up monthly and daily archives

A plugin that gets a list of posts archived into months is here:

Another one here: https://www.sonsofskadi.net/extended-live-archive/

Sitemap, probably adapt to archives: https://www.dagondesign.com/articles/sitemap-generator-plugin-for-wordpress/

Thanks,

I have used the clean archives reloaded plugin but doesn’t do exactly as I want. I figured there must be a way to achieve this without a plugin? It seems so simple and I see it on a lot of sites however I just can’t find anything?

You could hack this. It looks like this (bottom half of the page)

Let me know if it works for you.

<?php
        $prev_date = NULL;
        $date = NULL;
    ?>

    <?php query_posts("posts_per_page=-1&order=DESC"); ?>

    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    <?php
        $date  = get_the_time('m.Y');
        $year  = get_the_time('Y');
        $month = get_the_time('m');
        $baseUrl = get_bloginfo('url');

        if($date != $prev_date)
        {
            if ($prev_date) echo "</ul>\n";
            $prev_date = $date;
            echo "<h3>";
            echo "<a href='" . $baseUrl ."/". $year ."/". $month . "'>";
            echo get_the_time('F Y');
            echo "</a>";
            echo "</h3>";
            echo "<ul>";
        }
    ?>

    <li><?php the_time('M d') ?>. <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title() ?></a></li>

    <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

    </ul>
