 * I’ve just followed the instructions here – [http://mtdewvirus.com/wp-hacks/archives.txt](http://mtdewvirus.com/wp-hacks/archives.txt)
   
   yet when I click my archives link, I get this url, but a 404 [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/T2/archives/2004/01/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/T2/archives/2004/01/)
   I copied the permalinks structure from the page above. The other effect is that
   my page is now displaying every post I’ve made this month. I have a .htaccess
   covering the entire html directory, and it has the following code in it; Options
   FollowSymLinks Rewriteengine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteCond %{
   HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.tamba2.org.uk/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER}!
   ^http://tamba2.org.uk/.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://tamba2.org.
   uk.*$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.tamba2.org.uk.*$ [NC] RewriteRule.*.(

   on mtdewvirus’ page should it ? I’ve gone wrong somewhere …

 * podz,
    Did you modifty the rewrite code I have in the instructions to allow for
   your WP installed in a T2 directory? If you haven’t, you’ll need to make the 
   necessary changes. Also, when I try to access your arch.php, I get a parse error
   on line 83 of that file.

 * Wow can I be stupid at times …..
    When I entered the permalink structure, and
   clicked Update, it never occurred to me that the code I needed for my site would
   appear below that in the box that is there ….. It works now – so I can fine tune
   in later Thanks !

 * Right …….. I’ve another query.
    With everything (I think) in place, when I click‘
   January 2004’, I actually see all the posts, not just the titles alone. Is this
   the way it is meant to be ? I *thought* I would just see post titles. It’s no
   biggie, I’m just wondering. Permalink is set to /archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%
   day%/%postname%/ (Oh, and if you go look, I know I’ve broken the header link 
   to the main page by using just an image – I’m working on it 😉 )

 * podz,
    It doesn’t look like you have the mod_rewrite rules setup. arch.php is
   never being called from what I can see, because you try to access the file directly,
   [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/T2/arch.php](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/T2/arch.php) 
   there is an error. Could you post your rewrite rules somewhere?

 * Okay ….
    RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /T2/ RewriteRule ^archives/([0-9]{4})?/?([
   0-9]{1,2})?/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([0-9a-z-]+)?/?([0-9]+)?/?$ /T2/index.php?year=$1&
   monthnum=$2&day=$3&name=$4&page=$5 [QSA] RewriteRule ^archives/category/?([0-
   9a-z-]+)?/? /T2/index.php?category_name=$1 [QSA] These were generated when I 
   clicked the Update button after entering a permalink of /archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%
   day%/%postname%/ I’ve checked yours again, and they are certainly very different…..
   and I’ve not a clue why 🙂

 * These are lines 80 -86 from arch.php
    <?php include(ABSPATH . ‘wp-comments.php’);?
   > </div> <?php } } else { // end foreach, end if any posts ?> Sorry, no posts
   matched your criteria. <?php } ?> </div>

 * The rules are different in the instructions because you need to point some of
   those archives to the arch.php instead of index.php or the file will never be
   opened. If you are still using the rules generated by WP, it won’t work…they 
   need to be modified.
    Try these: RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /T2/ RewriteRule
   ^archives/?([0-9]{4})?/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?$ /T2/arch.php?year=$1&monthnum=$2 [QSA]
   RewriteRule ^archives/category?/?(.*) /T2/arch.php?category_name=$1 [QSA] RewriteRule
   ^archives/([0-9]{4})?/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([0-9a-z-]+)?/?([0-9]+)?/?
   $ /T2/index.php?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&name=$4&page=$5 [QSA] That code shouldn’t
   even be in arch.php, unless of course you’ve modified it and want to show comments
   and other things. Have you followed the instructions correctly for creating arch.
   php?

 * Right….
    arch.php corrected (I’d mistaken one end of a div for the correct one.
   mod_rewrite done and it’s going a bit further … Archives view now gives this :
   Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_year_link() in /home/—–path—–/html/

 * Many apologies ………I’d missed that.
    Would doing an MT install be suitable penance?
   It works perfectly 🙂 Thank you
