   Hi,

   I am wanting to use a custom field for the category id to be pulled through for this plugin to work, but I am not sure how to structure the code to get it to work.

   Any ideas anyone? custom field for the page is catid

   This is what I have at the moment (I know it doesnt work).

   <?php $catid = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'catid', true);
   echo wp_get_archives('cat=.$catid&limit=10'); ?>

   Thanks in advance!

   Stacey

   Can't do that with wp_get_archives. You'll need to use a new WP Query or get_posts for that. See query_posts() or get_posts()

   I am using the plugin Archives for a category which allows you to do this with a number, but wanted to do it by custom fields...
