   On the "archive.php" I see there is a <?php get_sidebar () ; ?>
   Can I just change to <?php get_sidebar1 () ;?> and create a file with "sidebar1.php"
   anybody please help. thanks

   I'm not sure if that would work, but you could just hardcode your sidebar into archive.php. So just copy out the contents of your current sidebar, paste it into archive.php and change it to fit your needs.

   No, you can't just rename it to get_sidebar1, since the function is named get_sidebar. You could either edit the get_sidebar function, create a new one which includes a different sidebar or edit the sidebar.php and put something like this in it. if( is_archive()) { include("something"); }

   you can do what I said in my previous post, or you can also write if/else statements in your current sidebar.php file to check what page you're on. I'm thinking it'd be easier for you to just do what I said before.

   You want nothing but the calendar in the sidebar?
