   Is there code I can add to display my archived posts alphabetically? I have all of my posts sorted into parent categories, and then sub-categories (i.e. Recipes -> Breakfast). I already have a loop-category.php file that was created to display a bit of static test at the top of category pages. Also, is there any way I can get my archived posts to only display the post title? Right now my archive posts display the entire post.

   Thanks!!!

   * the blog I'm trying to edit is http://www.wildbasilliving.com

   You would need to add a custom query to the relevant template file (archive.php?). See http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/query_posts for details of how to modify the standard Loop query.

   Simply modify your archive.php file to omit the_content().

   Hi Esmi, Thanks for your fast response. I got the alphabetical part, but I'm not sure where to delete "the_content()" part in the archive.php file. I don't see anything in the file that says the_content, only the following two phrases are found in the file:
   <div id="content" role="main"> and </div><!-- #content -->

   Sorry I'm so inept at modifying code!

   See below archive.php file:

   <?php
   get_header(); ?>
   
   		<div id="container">
   			<div id="content" role="main">
   <?php
   	if ( have_posts() )
   		the_post();
   ?>
   			<h1 class="page-title">
   <?php if ( is_day() ) : ?>
   				<?php printf( __( 'Daily Archives: <span>%s</span>', 'twentyten' ), get_the_date() ); ?>
   <?php elseif ( is_month() ) : ?>
   				<?php printf( __( 'Monthly Archives: <span>%s</span>', 'twentyten' ), get_the_date( 'F Y' ) ); ?>
   <?php elseif ( is_year() ) : ?>
   				<?php printf( __( 'Yearly Archives: <span>%s</span>', 'twentyten' ), get_the_date( 'Y' ) ); ?>
   <?php else : ?>
   				<?php _e( 'Blog Archives', 'twentyten' ); ?>
   <?php endif; ?>
   			</h1>
   <?php
   	rewind_posts();
   	 get_template_part( 'loop', 'archive' );
   ?>
   			</div><!-- #content -->
   		</div><!-- #container -->

   You will need to create a custom loop-archive.php template file in your child theme.

   What code do I put in my loop-archive.php in my child theme?

   I created the loop-archive.php file with the paste bin code, and uploaded it to my child theme, but the entire post content is still showing up.

   Are you sure you uploaded the file to the correct folder? Only there's no code to output the post content in the pastebin version.

   I'm in my wordpress admin account right now under editor and the loop-archive.php is with all of my other child template files. You said there's no code to output the post content in the pastebin version. What do you mean by that exactly?

    There's no <?php the_content();> in the example code in the pastebin.
