[resolved] So lost! Archives (4 posts)

    I am a designer, not a programmer (I have only learned very very basic PHP and I think I forget most of it anyway), so bear with me. I cannot get my archives page to work properly and I don't even know where to begin troubleshooting.

    Here is what it does now:
    http://www.wandaland.ca/2012/02/

    I want it to look/do what my categories page does: http://www.wandaland.ca/category/365-project/

    My "category.php" file has loads of pretty code, but my "archives.php" file looks like naked mostly.

    [Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

    I suspect that may be the problem, so how do fix my archives page to look/do what my category page does.

    Also - are 'permalinks' and 'archives' interchangeable in wp-speak?

    Please, point me to a tutorial (that is NOT on wordpress.org - that stuff is above my head) or feel free to talk to me like I'm 3 :) ...

    Thanks in advance for any help at all!

  2. permalinks = Your URL structure.

    Archives = A collection of posts.

    You can copy the 'loop' of your category.php into your archive.php to emulate that.

    Post them on pastebin if you need more help :)

    Oh, also it appears that I broke forum rules with pasting my code. I apologize to everyone!
