   I've used <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&show_post_count=1'); ?> before and it displays a list of months taking you to archive.php and a list of full posts all from that month.

   This new site I'm working on when I use <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&show_post_count=1'); ?> The list I click on leads me to single.php, I just want to know why? Is there any way that the archives links go to archive.php instead? I don't want one post per page.

   Regards Tara

   Are you sure it is single.php? If I read the template hierarchy right single.php is only used for "Single Post display" and "Attachment Templates"

   yep i put comments on each page so i can tell which template is appearing, I'm using this though, think it'll make a difference?
   

   <?php
   $category = get_the_category();
   $currentcat = $category[0]->cat_ID;
   ?>
   <?php
   $category = get_the_category();
   $currentcat = $category[0]->cat_ID;
   if (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH."/single-$currentcat".".php")) {
   include(TEMPLATEPATH."/single-$currentcat".".php");
   } else {
   ?>

   I have a single-8.php which only is in use when the single posts for news category are visible.

   Thanks for the really quick reply :)

   date.php did the trick, if I have that I can put all my lovely monthly archives in there.
   cheers
