   How can I excluded a post from showing up in the monthly archive?
   I know pages are excluded by default, but I can't add pages to a category.

   What's the best way to achieve this?

   Could could your archive template to exclude that post.

   Or look at something like http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/smart-archives-reloaded/ that allows you to exclude a category.

   Thanks, but this plugin doesn't seem to work.
   Gives me a lot of php errors.

   I overlooked the tag, I'll give it an other try. (I'll report back if it worked or not)
   Thanks for pointing it out to me!

   This plugin is far from what I meant.

   I'll try to clarify myself:

   A page can't belong to a category and therefore doesn't show in the monthly archives.
   A post belongs to a category and therefore shows up in the monthly archives.

   What I want is:
   A page/post that belongs to a category but doesn't show in the monthly archive.

   What plugin can I use to achieve this?

   The plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page2cat/ will allow you to assign categories to pages.

   In lieu of finding a plugin that 'excludes' things from your archives, you may want to review Creating_an_Archive_Index and code to ignore that particular post.
