I’m using the newest 2.5 version that I recently downloaded… and there seems to be no function to make a page that lists just the archives.
I have an archives.php page…
And this page: Creating an Archive Index is telling me:
for WP 1.5+
Upload the archives.php in your theme directory (wp-content/themes/themename/). Then from the Admin Panel, Write > Write Page
1. Give your new archives Page a suitable title like Archive Index. Leave the Page content blank.
In the sidebar open the //Page templates// box, and select the //Archives// template. After saving it you will see a new item in your pages list, click on it, and enjoy!
But there is no “Page Templates” box in my sidebar for the newest version?
