According to your website the cat archives are here:
http://iheartau.com/wordpress/reviews/
Yeah, thats a styled category page, not an archive.
eg.
http://iheartau.com/wordpress/albums/
Nothing – see?
You don’t get it.
You don’t have “archives” anywhere in your permalinks structure:
http://iheartau.com/wordpress/reviews/reverie-sound-revue-reverie-sound-revue/
Why do you expect it to appear?
If I don’t have archives in my structure, how do I add it? Is that the problem?
If you don’t have it, then you cannot use it arbitrarily in URL as you did.
Lots of good info: Using_Permalinks.
Theres nothing in the documentation about the /archive/ … part of the URL – presumably I need to include a structure tag or something? How do I generate an archive alongside using the category-x.php file to display selected items?
My permalink structure is currently “/%category%/%postname%/”
Define “archive”. Again, don’t get technical – just tell WHAT do you want to do.
Any category listing, e.g. using a category-x.php file is an archive = it’s a category archive.
Even if you don’t have such a file, just by clicking on a category name – should result in a so-called “category archive view” or category listing.
So, what is an “archive” in your mind?
Alright.
Alongside the category-x.php file, I want a page automatically generating a date-ordered list of all entries within a specific category.
Make sense?
If by Page you meant what is Pages – I never understand the reason for it. Convince me it’s a good idea.
Catgeory-x.php does exactly what you described: a date ordered list of yoir posts in that specific category. Why the need to duplicate the same output?
Sorry, on reading up on this I now understand the structure.
However, I’ve tried applying this to http://iheartau.com/wordpress/news/ and the ‘next page’ link is giving me a 404 error and I don’t know why, as previous entries do exist – am I missing a template file or something wrong with my permalink structure?
If you have custom or multiple loops in a file – that usually breaks the next/prev navigation.
Is there any way to get past that, though?
I’m not using anything out of the ordinary – what could possibly be throwing it off?
Actually, having multiple Loops on that page is “out of ordinary”, that’s why it doesn’t work.
Surely theres a way around it – a plugin or something?
