Do you also need to have the posts separated by year (as in the example)?
Can you post the code you use now to show the archive links.
Code below. That would be good but I’m only online a few months.
<?php
get_header(); ?>
<section id="primary" class="site-content">
<div id="content" role="main">
<div id="container">
<div id="content" role="main">
<?php the_post(); ?>
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php wp_get_archives('type=alpha'); ?>
<ul>
<select name="archive-dropdown" onchange="document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
<option value=""><?php echo esc_attr( __( 'Select Month' ) ); ?></option>
<?php wp_get_archives( array( 'type' => 'monthly', 'format' => 'option', 'show_post_count' => 1 ) ); ?>
</select>
</ul>
</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #container -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Try it with this:
<?php
get_header(); ?>
<section id="primary" class="site-content">
<div id="content" role="main">
<div id="container">
<div id="content" role="main">
<?php the_post(); ?>
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<?php
$temp_year = $temp_month = '';
$archive = new WP_Query( 'posts_per_page = -1' );
?>
<?php if ( $archive->have_posts() ) : while ( $archive->have_posts() ) : $archive->the_post(); ?>
<?php
$Year= get_the_date( 'Y' );
$Month = get_the_date( 'F' );
$Day = get_the_date( 'j' );
?>
<?php if ( $Year != $temp_year ) : ?>
<h2><?php echo $Year ?></h2>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( $Month != $temp_month || $Year != $temp_year ) : ?>
<h3><?php echo $Month; ?></h3>
<?php endif; ?>
<li><span><?php echo $Day; ?></span><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php
$temp_year = $Year;
$temp_month = $Month;
?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<ul>
<select name="archive-dropdown" onchange="document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
<option value=""><?php echo esc_attr( __( 'Select Month' ) ); ?></option>
<?php wp_get_archives( array( 'type' => 'monthly', 'format' => 'option', 'show_post_count' => 1 ) ); ?>
</select>
</ul>
</div><!-- #content -->
</div><!-- #container -->
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>
