   Hi!

   I want to make my Date Archives like this:

   Feb 2005 (15) -- the number of posts
   Jan 2005 (12)
   Year 2004 (81)
   Year 2003 (89)

   ...etc.

   Is there a way to do it in WP?

   Hm... I don't know if there's a better way to do this. If someone comes along and says there is, I'd use her or his method over this one since this involves editing the core.

   But, here goes:

   You need to edit 3 lines of wp-includes/template-functions-general.php

   line 206
   change
   global $querystring_start, $querystring_equal, $querystring_separator, $month, $wpdb;
   to
   global $querystring_start, $querystring_equal, $querystring_separator, $month, $month_abbrev, $wpdb;

   line 252
   change
   $text = sprintf("%s %d", $month[zeroise($arcresult->month,2)], $arcresult->year);
   to
   $text = sprintf("%s %d", $month_abbrev[$month[zeroise($arcresult->month,2)]], $arcresult->year);

   line 255
   change
   $text = sprintf("%s %d", $month[zeroise($arcresult->month,2)], $arcresult->year);
   to
   $text = sprintf("%s %d", $month_abbrev[$month[zeroise($arcresult->month,2)]], $arcresult->year);

   This is all assuming you use version 1.2.2. If you use an earlier version, the changes, I think, are the same, but the line numbers may differ.

   EDIT: That will get you your month abbreviations. To get the number of posts, all you have to do is use

   <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&show_post_count=1'); ?>

   in your index.php.

   Feb 2005 (no. of posts)
   Jan 2005 (no. of posts)

   But I want it like this:

   Feb 2005 (no. of posts)

   I have found what I was looking for and guess what there is a plugin for it too. WP rocks!!!

   No plugin is necessary. All you had to do was go into template-functions-general.php and change

   if (!isset($r['show_post_count'])) $r['show_post_count'] = false;

   and

   function get_archives($type='', $limit='', $format='html', $before = '', $after = '', $show_post_count = false) {

   to

   if (!isset($r['show_post_count'])) $r['show_post_count'] = true;

   and

   function get_archives($type='', $limit='', $format='html', $before = '', $after = '', $show_post_count = true) {

   respectively.
