   I am trying to create an archive index which will display post by post and the corresponding date for each post.

   I used wp_get_archives, and used a page template.

   However, there seems to be no option to display the date before the post title and I also want "next", "previous" and paging buttons.

   I also tried placing a loop in the page template but it won't display posts. It will only display the current page.

   I want to create something like this: http://www.inquirer.net/specialfeatures/nbndeal/archive.php

   Thanks!

   Hi.

   When you go to your setting in the admin, how many posts do you have set to view per page? if it is set to only 1 post per page, your archive will only show 1 post per page. May want to change that to 10. Also, running the loop WILL show as many posts, excerpt or whatever else youd like. Use this as a guide :

   <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   <?php the_time('F jS, Y'); ?>
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   <?php endwhile; else: ?>
   <?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   Thanks for the reply Kozine.

   My setting is set to display 10 posts. However it displays only one post (the current page im in). I think it is because the page is not the home page, (I am not using it as a static front page). So the loop will naturally display the current page.

   What I did was use query posts to display the posts. It worked fine.

   However, I still do not have "next" and "previous" buttons. Like what is displayed here: http://www.inquirer.net/specialfeatures/nbndeal/archive.php

   Does anyone know how to put such within a query?

   This is what I did:

   <?php query_posts('showposts=15'); ?>
          <?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=15');
          foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
   <li><?php the_time('m/j/y') ?> : <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
   
          <?php endforeach; ?>

   This showed the past 15 posts.

   Got an answer here: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2008/04/19/paging-and-custom-wordpress-loops/

   via here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/169554?replies=5

   So I now got to have the list plus the page navigation.

   One last thing, I need the page numbers in between the previous and more links.

   For instance: <<Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 More>>
