I really don’t know, do you want to PM me so that I can give you my ftp details to look at,

msn

info(at)nicktoye(dot)co(dot)uk

The only theme folders I have on my server are classic and default. There must be a file there for me to edit right? I shouldn’t have to write a new file.

I am looking at a file in the default theme folder called archive.php and it doesn’t seem to have the_content tag.

Do you want to look at my ftp?

Ok, the penny has almost dropped.

I installed that plugin, activated it and it showed all the articles I wanted it to, but it showed them all rather than a list. So I need to edit the page that is showing my archives right and delete the content tag to show just the title.

Where the hell is this page? I can’t find it.

Now I have decided that I don’t mind having more than one article on the home page, but on the archive page I want to just have the titles.

Where would it be? I must have one right as I was getting the page when I clicked on a month

So as someone who is not php minded, do you not think it is a feature that should be more easily implemented.

Ok, so how would I link this page to the thoughts page on my site? At the moment when I click an article it goes through to the index.php page,

Would I need to create a Page using the write page function?

Hang on a minute, first off you never said to delete the_content tag. Secondly I have not jumped from one issue to another, I was merely using the sidebar on my site as an example of what I wanted in the main area.

“You need an archive.php template where you will delete the_content tag from it, in this way it will show only the title” – where is this archive.php template? Do I just write one from scratch or is it setup already?

You see why I am getting annoyed is, that WordPress is requiring me to start coding and messing around with templates when all I want it to do is a simple list showing all the articles in a month or category. Something like the recent articles in the sidebar.

I’m not php minded, that is why I am struggling a bit

ok, i get that bit, but why when you have in your sidebar recent articles, it lists them.

I am getting the last 5 articles listed.

That is all I want, a page that has all the articles listed depending on the month or category that I choose.

If I change that option to 2 or 3 then when I click on November for example I get 3 articles as written, when what I want is a list of links to click.

Am I not being clear enough

where is the Archives Template?

That is exactly what I want, is there any more help on this?

Like a tutorial?

Yeah I know, I only want one article per page in its entire form. But when I am clicking on the months or categories I want it to look like this:

Articles in December

Article One
Article Two
Article Three

Will these plugins allow me to do this? Why is it in a form of a plugin and not just part of the makeup of the application.

about 5

but when i click on it displays it as an article, I want it to display december as it does with the recent articles list

That’s not really helping much. I don’t understand why it is so hard to achieve, I mean what is the point of an archives page if you can’t display all the posts in the archive.

When I click on December I want it to display all the posts in December, and then if I click on article one in December it shows that article.

This really shouldn’t be too hard to achieve. This is one of the reason why i may move to Symphony, its ability to produce what you want without having to go through lengthy forum threads.

when you click on the archives month it takes you to a post in that month, but I want it to go to a page that shows all the articles in that month like a list, which can then be clickable to open that article

Oh sorry this is the loop from my home page, which is what loads in when I click on an article, its the permalink structure page.

I think the page you need is:

https://www.nicktoye.co.uk/thoughts.php

<div id=”archive”>
<ul class=”bullets”>
<?php get_recent_posts();?>

</div>

<div id=”archivedMon”>
<h3>Articles By Month</h3>
<ul class=”bullets”>
<?php get_archives() ?>

</div>

<div id=”archivedCat”>
<h3>Articles By Category</h3>
<ul class=”bullets”>
<?php wp_list_cats(‘arguments’); ?>

</div>

Anyone

Duly noted sir, will add it to my “ta da lists”

Thanks
