Annual Archive

Description

Lists can be grouped by decade and filtered by post type. Archive lists can be placed nearly anywhere using the included shortcode or the easy to use sidebar widget. A complete listing of shortcode options and attribute demos are available, as well as free community support. Translate Annual Archive into any language using the WordPress community translation tool at: https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/anual-archive

Have been trying for over a month to find an Archive w/ a dropdown option, since my Theme apparently didn't offer that widget. Select "Option" under "Format" dropdown did it for the Annual Archive plugin/widget! \o/ ‘Hippity hip Hoorah‘ \o/

I needed this plugin for a specific issue (archive title syncing with custom decade strings) and Baden -the guy who runs the thing- has been really prompt and effective with his help. Highly recommended!

Works. Solves a problem. I will keep it for now. [ Text removed. I was complaining about an issue that finally proved to be caused by core wp files, not this plugin. This plugin is great.]

This is just was I was looking for. Works perfect and is easy to adjust. I use this text function: [archives type="yearly" format="option" select_text="Pick a year" showcount="true"]
