Hi,
Recently I noticed that the Archives and Calendar Widget on my sidebar are not working as intended. For example, no matter what day you click (In Calendar) or what month you click (Archives), it will just go to my home page i.e. it will show all my posts. Basically I cannot filter them.
Any ideas? Is this due to Permalinks?
Here is my blog site:

We need more information to offer any help. Did you change your WordPress Theme? Which Plugins are you using? Did you upgrade recently?
Try changing your WordPress Theme from the default Theme and see if the problems continue. If they do, then something has been changed in the default Theme. Consider upgrading or using a different Theme, something your users might appreciate as the default Theme isn't very complementary to your content and subject matter.

Hi,
No I didn't. I have been using the Kubrick one since the beginning. I think this functionality is not working since 3-4 months. I usually upgrade WP if a new version is released.
I thought of changing the theme but I am scared if that would mess any other thing? I have never changed the theme before so I am a bit hesitant.
onsider upgrading or using a different Theme, something your users might appreciate as the default Theme isn't very complementary to your content and subject matter.
Thanks for the advice. Can you suggest some theme?

Sorry to bump this up again. But even after changing two different theme I cannot seem to get the calendar and archive widgets to work.

I'm getting the same problem: from around the time I upgraded to WP2.7, archive links on my Cipher Mysteries site now silently redirect to the homepage. This is true for the default archive widget, the collapsible archive widget, the drop-down archive widget, and also if you physically type in the archive address (i.e. http://www.domain.com/2008/06 etc)
What is frustrating is that even though it silently redirects to the homepage (oh yes, and it's not a redirection plugin error either, I checked), WP2.7 fails to emit an error message to the error log about what is going on, so there's no obvious way of diagnosing this helpfully.
Right now, my best guess is that this might well prove to be a PHP 4-related bug that has silently crept into the WP2.7 codebase along the way, but which nobody thought to test against. Has WP2.7's archive behaviour been tested on sites running PHP4?
I noindex the archive pages anyway, so this is not a terrible loss: but it's irritating all the same, and it would be very nice to know what to do about it.

The solution has been found. Look into the Robots Meta Plugin.
