List posts by year, 6 per page.

  • I’ve managed to get and list my posts by year, but

    Code for listing posts by year:

    functions.php

    function posts_by_year() {
  // array to use for results
  $years = array();

  // get posts from WP
  $posts = get_posts(array(
    'numberposts' => -1,
    'orderby' => 'post_date',
    'order' => 'ASC',
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'post_status' => 'publish'
  ));

  // loop through posts, populating $years arrays
  foreach($posts as $post) {
    $years[date('Y', strtotime($post->post_date))][] = $post;
  }

  // reverse sort by year
  krsort($years);

  return $years;
}

    template file

    <?php foreach(posts_by_year() as $year => $posts) : ?>
  <h2><?php echo $year; ?></h2>

  <ul>
    <?php foreach($posts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
      <li>
        <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
      </li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
  </ul>
<?php endforeach; ?>

    What should I do next so that only 6 posts per page are shown?

    Anyone could give me a hint here?
    Thanks.

  • I think you can use the posts_per_page parameter from query_posts in get_posts:

    $posts = get_posts(array(
    'numberposts' => -1,
    'orderby' => 'post_date',
    'order' => 'ASC',
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => 6
  ));

    I’m not sure if you have to add something in your template for the pagination links or if WP does that on its own.

    Thanks linux4me2,
    That was my first thought and I had already tried it, but something very strange happens: the latest post in repeated 6 times and no other posts are loaded!

    …

    Give this a shot in your template:

    <?php foreach(posts_by_year() as $year => $post) : ?>
  <h2><?php echo $year; ?></h2>

  <ul>
    <?php setup_postdata($post); ?>
      <li>
        <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
      </li>
  </ul>
<?php endforeach; ?>

    Sorry, my mistake, it is working properly and the first solution solved the case. Well, sort of; now the pagination is missing. But that’s another topic.
