I can’t seem to make this work. I want to omit one category from my archives – ID 19 – so I used the following code on a template page names archives.php:


<?php if(is_archive()){$wp_query->set('cat','-19'); query_posts(''); } ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<ul><?php get_archives('postbypost','','custom','<li>','</li>'); ?></ul>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>


What have I done wrong?

Thanks! does exactly what I need.

I am looking to do exactly this, as well. That page you linked to, HandySolo, is just a generic “this is how to make an archives page,” which isn’t very helpful.

My initial thought on how to do this is to create a loop on the archives page, and inside that loop, display nothing but the_title() and the_date(). But I tried doing this and I got nothing in return.

Also, it would be great if you could omit a category from said archive page. Would you just put the entire thing inside an in_category() tag?

Thanks
