Hi,
I am using a yearly dropdown filter (eg. 2009, 2010, 2011) that I want to display all posts written within the applicable year. Can wp_get_archives by used to filter by specific year somehow? If not, is there something else that can do this or will it require a custom function?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the reply, however after reading both those pages it's still confusing to me. I'm naturally a designer so some of these backend commands are difficult for me to grasp.
What I'm using now is simple enough <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?> but it returns months from every year that posts were published.
I only want something that spits out months of a specific year. I tried doing something simple like:
<?php $test = query_posts( 'year=2011' );
echo $test
?>
but it returns "Array". Obviously I don't know what I'm doing here lol. Can you provide a little more help, would be greatly appreciated!
<?php
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
$args= array(
'year' => 2011,
'orderby' => 'date';
'paged' => $paged
);
query_posts($args);
?>placed immediately before the Loop will output all posts published during 2011 in date order.

Esmi,
Thanks again for posting a suggestion, I really appreciate it.
However, this doesn't answer my initial problem. I need it to output just archive links to specific months of a year, not individual posts. Here's an illustrated example:
(say I have separate unordered lists for each year, bold text are the archive links)
2011:
--January 2011
--February 2011
--March 2011
--etc.
2010:
--January 2010
--February 2010
--March 2010
--etc.
Again, <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?> works except it doesn't allow me any way to distinguish what year to use. It will literally spit out 40 months long going back over 3 years for each of my unordered lists. I'm looking for a function that will only output monthly archive links for a specific year that I can place under each of my lists.
<ul>...archive function here...</ul>
I hope this makes more sense. Thanks again.

Same problem here...
Can't find any function, so I use this code:
global $wpdb, $month;
$years = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT DATE_FORMAT(post_date_gmt, '%Y')
FROM $wpdb->posts
WHERE post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish'
GROUP BY DATE_FORMAT(post_date_gmt, '%Y')
ORDER BY post_date_gmt DESC");
if ( $years && count($years) > 0 ) {
foreach ( $years as $y ) { ?>
<div class="wrap">
<div class="year"><?php echo $y; ?></div><?php
$months = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT DATE_FORMAT(post_date_gmt, '%m')
FROM $wpdb->posts
WHERE post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish'
AND DATE_FORMAT(post_date_gmt, '%Y') = $y
GROUP BY DATE_FORMAT(post_date_gmt, '%Y-%m')
ORDER BY post_date_gmt DESC");
if ($months) { ?>
<ul><?php
foreach($months as $m) {
echo '<li><a href="'.get_month_link($y, $m).'">'.$month[zeroise($m, 2)]."</a></li>";
} ?>
</ul><?php
} ?>
</div><?php
}
} ?>

Hello, you should use getarchives_where filter.
I have create this callback function:
function takien_archive_where($where,$args){
$year = isset($args['year']) ? $args['year'] : '';
$month = isset($args['month']) ? $args['month'] : '';
$monthname = isset($args['monthname']) ? $args['monthname']: '';
$day = isset($args['day']) ? $args['day'] : '';
$dayname = isset($args['dayname']) ? $args['dayname'] : '';
if($year){
$where .= " AND YEAR(post_date) = '$year' ";
$where .= $month ? " AND MONTH(post_date) = '$month' " : '';
$where .= $day ? " AND DAY(post_date) = '$day' " : '';
}
if($month){
$where .= " AND MONTH(post_date) = '$month' ";
$where .= $day ? " AND DAY(post_date) = '$day' " : '';
}
if($monthname){
$where .= " AND MONTHNAME(post_date) = '$monthname' ";
$where .= $day ? " AND DAY(post_date) = '$day' " : '';
}
if($day){
$where .= " AND DAY(post_date) = '$day' ";
}
if($dayname){
$where .= " AND DAYNAME(post_date) = '$dayname' ";
}
return $where;
