Did not work for me. Using WP 3.2. Looking for something to replace the old SRG Clean Archives plugin.
I just tried on a fresh WP 2.3 install, works for me.
Tell me what error are you getting? Or the Shortcode just doesn’t works?
Please elaborate.
Thanks for your reply. I really don’t understand what’s happening with this, but it currently breaks my theme and doesn’t display the archives. Looks like a great plugin, though.
Here is what I’m getting:

Can you please try the HTML version of archives, there is a jQuery conflict, you can make this one work too. Just remove this code: http://tinypaste.com/3b6baa and add
$(“.tab_content”).hide(); //Hide all content
$(“ul.tabs li:first”).addClass(“active”).show(); //Activate first tab
$(“.tab_content:first”).show(); //Show first tab content
//On Click Event
$(“ul.tabs li”).click(function() {
$(“ul.tabs li”).removeClass(“active”); //Remove any “active” class
$(this).addClass(“active”); //Add “active” class to selected tab
$(“.tab_content”).hide(); //Hide all tab content
var activeTab = $(this).find(“a”).attr(“href”); //Find the rel attribute value to identify the active tab + content
$(activeTab).fadeIn(); //Fade in the active content
return false;
});
To your $(document).ready(function()
I’m not sure I understand. I removed the part of the code you indicated in the “archives/jquery-archives.php” file and put the code above in it’s place but it still does not work for me. I may have done something wrong. I am not schooled in programming, sorry.
Lol, I didn’t say that.
Can you for a minute mail me(using my contact page)a temporary admin credential of your website. Its totally upto you.
No offense, but I don’t feel comfortable with that.
Thanks for your offer to help though.
I have to go to work for the evening. I’ll try working with it again soon.
Is the HTML Version working?
If yes, then there is a simple jQuery conflict.
By HTML what do you mean? Do you mean that I should set the “Use jQuery Tabs for Archives Page?” option to “No”?
If so , that does not work either.
These nested comments keep getting smaller….
Hi, how can change the language?
Daniel
Hi Daniel,
Currently only English version is available.
I downloaded the jQuery StarterKit zip file from their site. Where should I extract the files to? Should I extract them to the root directory, the wordpress directory or elsewhere? I’m brand new to this stuff by trying to learn so I can run your Archive plugin in WordPress.
jQuery is already included with it.
how about adding support for custom taxonomy archive
Umm, sounds cool, will try out for the future version.
Hi great plugin! Trying to use it in the sidebar but the lay out isn’t quite right… Got any suggestions? Thanks, Nick
Ps. http://www.biggetjevijf.nl
I guess it depends on theme to theme basis.
sorry but what is the shortcode to use ?
[Archives] or [archives]
Great plugin but really, you should list the shortcode somewhere in the plugin options, or on the plugin homepage, in the instructions, or on wordpress.org… i had to search through the comments on this page to find it!
Haha, Open http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/archives/
See under ”Usage”. And here too under “Usage”.
i like the way the jquery looks better but i have a left and right hand nav so it does not fit. how can i make it smaller or if you look at the way the html is set up any chance to make the data not appear so smooshed together http://www.girliemom.com
go to blog/archives
jQuery: You can change the width and stuff in CSS.
HTML: Just add line breaks, that should work.
how would i go about changing the order of the how everything is displayed…for instance i would like to put the recent posts above the tag cloud if possibe…any ideas? thanks
i activated it.
but how am i supposed to put it in my template?? whats the code? i have a custom theme. and custom sidebar.php
so… can u please tell me how to add the widget into my sidebar? as in teh code! THANKS
nevermind the last comment
another question though.. how to make the archives and categories into a dropdown option?
Please read this page top to bottom.
Hi Pritesh,
I
like the plugin, it looks good on the page.
Is there a way of just showing the Categories part and not the tag cloud, Last 30 posts and
monthly archive tabs or info. A long
shot I know but I would love to have just the categories on the side bar
showing the amount of posts for each category, the way your plug in dose. My site is set up so all the categories have
their own section and do not show on the homepage and I need a way to show a
generic archive on all pages that is category specific.
Thanks,
Simon.
Hi there – great plugin! I have used the shortcode in a page and it’s working fine, but I want the page content at the top, not the archive. How do I make sure the page content appears first, then the archive appears underneath?
Hi Jennifer,
The only way I have found to do this, is to, get the Pages Post plugin and make the page you have the Archive plugin on a page to take a category called what ever you like really, I called mine pastpost, when setting up the page in Pages Post, make sure you tick the box, ‘Show original page text before posts:’. Then publish a post with the short code in and it will appear below any text you put on the page.
Simon
I would like to know whether you can use this plugins to regular html webpage.
Thanks !
Very nice plug in. I think I am going to use this on my blog!
Love the plug-in. I just have one problem. The TITLE of the singular archives page shows up centered on all my urls, including the homepage where it does not belong, and mars the theme
The title also is on the topmost layer where it blocks my main pull-down menu, etc. It is definitely something I don’t like.
Hi Pritesh, great plug in… love it! I’ve been using it a while now and it’s been working fine. In the last day or so when I go to the Archives Page (on my blog it’s called Blog Archives 2008-present) I can’t access the list of 638 posts. It worked fine before. Do you know why the list of archives cannot be accessed? Thanks
Oh, can you look at this for me… http://www.lorilaws.net/blog-archives-2008-present/
It’s work well on my site.
Thank you….
Thank You for a fabulous plugin!
I am using the html version and would like to add some ‘space’ between each section, such as Tagcloud SPACE , Post SPACE, etc.
How would I edit these settings please?
Thanks again!
Pritesh,
I recently updated to wordpress 3.4.2 and the Archive plugin stopped working. No longer displaying all of the formats – which I really miss. Have others report on this? I have two blogs and it happened on both.
Can we remove the ” This is archives page of Wolfeboro Soccer. Currently the archives consist of 2 posts, 2 page and 0 comments, with a total of 2 categories and 0 tags.
Last 30 Posts
Test Post – September 26, 2012 – comments
SUM U12 against Rye – September 25, 2012 – comments
Categories
News (2)
Monthly Archives”
and just have the latest 10 or 15 posts listed…?
Is it possible to remove the word “comments” from the recent entries section? I’m not sure why it’s there or what it’s for, it shows up even on entries that have 0 comments and comments turned off…
I activated the plug-in but nothing shows up on my site. I am using the OriginMag theme. Do I need to put the code in somewhere? I would like for the archives to be in the sidebar. Thank you.
I have my archives above my theme since I updated to WP 3.4.2 not looking all that good:
http://www.isthatbaloney.com/archives/
This sort of works for WP 3.5 but it doesn’t categorise and structure like it shows in the demo, must be something with 3.5 or I am missing all the available shortcodes or is really just [archives] ?
I love this plugin but when I adjust the number of articles to appear on the FRONT/home page, the archive page automatically adjusts to that number as well. For example, I want 10 articles on the front page and 50 articles in the archive.
