# Archives Breaking Theme

 * I am trying to edit my footer.php so that I can limit the amount of months shown
   in the “Archives by Month” column. Please see: [http://eyesoncreativity.com/](http://eyesoncreativity.com/)(
   at the bottom).
 * I tried editing the code in the footer.php:
 *     ```
       <div id="footerleft">
       	<h2>Recent Updates</h2>
       		<ul><?php get_archives('postbypost', 10); ?></ul>
       	</div>
   
       <div id="footermiddle1">
       	<h2>Archives by Month</h2>
       		<ul><?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly', 10); ?></ul>
       ```
   
 * You’ll notice I tried adding the **, 10** – but that did not work (and obviously
   neither did omitting it). Any ideas?

 * So, why don’t you go back to the Documentation and READ?
    [Template_Tags/wp_get_archives#Examples](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_get_archives#Examples)
   and the articles linked at the bottom about how to use the parameters…

 * Sorry, I hadn’t realized there was documentation on that sort of thing. Anyway
   problem solved. Thanks _very_ much for your help.
