Hi,
I’m afraid I cannot help you right now, I’m aware that there’s some bugs in the widget configuration since WordPress changed widget system in v5.8 which implies “some” changes because my plugin is pretty old now.
Have you tried using https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/classic-widgets/ for support old “legacy” widgets?

I’m currently working on a V2 when I have some free time, it progresses slowly but it’s on the way.

The function should be called in place where you want to display the calendar, try to create a code widget and insert the function call into it or place it directly in your theme code. BTW the callable function will be removed in v2.

Hi, I’m working on an update when I have some time so it progresses slowly.

There is an official WP plugin to support classic widgets https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/classic-widgets/.

Hi,
thanks for reporting this.
WP 5.8 version introduced a new way to manage widgets so the plugin needs some adaptations to be done.
It will work if it was configured previously but for new installations/activations there will be no way to access the widget’s configuration until it’s updated.

Hello,

By default wordpress has an archive system that should work with URLs like this https://cars4starters.com.au/2021/07.
If it works in your test environment but not in live this may be related to URL handling on your server and you may need to regenerate the .httaccess file on your live server.

Try to save permalinks setting:
Settings->Permalinks->Save Changes
this should regenerate configuration on the server.

As it is not related to the plugin, I can not help you more.

Did you try to open archives page from the default “Archives widget”?
What the url looks like?
This plugins uses the date urls: https://website.link/2020/01/ format.

Hi,
I’ve just checked, archives link seems work well with “twenty twenty” and “twenty twenty-one” themes.
Note that the plugin does not add any specific pages or template to display archives and uses the default wordpress methods/templates to retrieve and display archives with a specific filter hook.
Please ensure that your theme supports archives pages that works well with the default WP archives widget.

Have a nice day/evening.

Thank you for reporting this bug,
i’ll check it as soon as possible.

Hi,
this is actually wanted behavior to not show protected posts and there is no configuration for that at the moment.
To display protected posts you need to edit some code and remove AND post_password='' from all SLQ queries that contain it.

Currently I’m somehow back to this plugin but it’s only for critical bug fixes and compatibility maintenance. Unfortunately I don’t have enough time for new features development.

Hi,
I’ve made a compatibility patch today.
I’m not fully back (yet) to continue the development of this plugin but if it is fixed let me know, thanks.

Note that the plugins was not updated since a while (lack of time) and it can be buggy or/and incompatible with the latest WP versions.

Hi,
If i’m not wrong GDPR is about personal data and this plugin do not stock any king of data from visitors.
It uses the data from the DB of the WP instance in which it is installed (Posts and categories only). The only thing that this plugin stores in the DB are the settings of the plugin and of the widget. There is no tracking code of any kind implemented in the plugin, no analytic, no cookies, no local or session storage.

I hope it answers your question, if i’m wrong at any point feel free to make me know about it.

Best regards.

Hi,
I’ve not updated the plugin for a while and the plugin setting “Archives filter” might be incompatible with the latest WP version.
Sorry for that, I work on a new version when I have some time (actually very little) but I can’t tell when it will be available.

Hi,
it seems that you have a custom post_status because by default “archive” is not a status:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Post_Status#Default_Statuses.

Btw there is no way to do it without modifying some code: arw-widget.php on line 162, 191 and 395
AND post_status IN ('publish') should be changed in AND post_status IN ('publish', 'archive')

I will note it as a feature for the next version but I don’t know when it will be released as I’ve got not much time for it :/.

One more try to put my last answer here as it a little more formated:

You are not my customer, in any case, you just can’t be. Customers pay for services/products, you only can be a “user”. My plugin will never be paid and it’s not my attention to make people pay for it. If you were/will be asked money for using my pluigin you were/will be probably a victim of a fraud. This is the principle of the Open Source code, it is free of charge, you can use it, you can edit/copy/modify it, you can do anything you want with it.

This orange note is displayed over the support form:

Update to the latest versions of your plugins, themes, and WordPress.
Note the exact steps needed to reproduce your issue.
Provide any information you might think is useful. If your issue is visual, note your browser and operating system. If your issue is technical, note your server environment.

I’m not at your service and support messages like “it does not work” are just “junk”. I don’t even want spend my time answering it. You use a free software, there are simple rules explained above the support form and you dont even take time to read it, why would I spend my time asking you “Hey dude, what’s wrong? How can I help you?” I’m not a hotline service and you don’t pay me to help you “as soon as you want” (and I wont ask you to pay! Never!).

I dont gain money with it, basically I did it for me about 4 years ago, since I’ve published it the has evolved pretty much thanks to (good and usefull) feedback of users.

I saw you other comments for other plugins and you act like you’re the “autors'” client, if you dont get your support in a minute you write a “rage” note.

Well, you’re using a free Community based software, and sometimes people just leave thing here, someone takes it and makes it better (or not)…
Maybe you should go for another (paid) product to have your “right” for fast and quality support.

Hi,
Seems like the theme preview is broken in settings I will check what’s wrong.
I’ve just applied a custom theme to my test WP and it is displayed on the website but not in the preview.

Can you tell me if it actually applies when you browse your website?
