 * ok, but at the moment when I click on a category or month, it goes to this:
 * [http://www.nicktoye.co.uk/2005/12/](http://www.nicktoye.co.uk/2005/12/)
 * That is for december obviously, but on this page it shows the most recent article
   in that month.
 * I’m sorry but i’m really confused.

    <div><h2>” rel
   =”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>”> <?php the_title();?

 *  <div>
 * <div style=”clear:both”></div>
    <span class=”date”><?php the_time(‘jS F Y’); ?
   ></span> | <span class=”viewComment”> <?php comments_popup_link(); ?> </span>
   | <span class=”category”> <?php the_category(‘,’); ?> </span>
 *  </div> <!– end of updatedBox –>

   wp-comments.php’); ?> <?php endforeach; else: ?>

 * Can you tell me where your Category list is and also your Archives? I don’t see
   them. Sorry.

 * Oh sorry this is the loop from my home page, which is what loads in when I click
   on an article, its the permalink structure page.
 * I think the page you need is:
 * [http://www.nicktoye.co.uk/thoughts.php](http://www.nicktoye.co.uk/thoughts.php)
 * <div id=”archive”>
    <ul class=”bullets”> <?php get_recent_posts();?>
 * </div>
 * <div id=”archivedMon”>
    <h3>Articles By Month</h3> <ul class=”bullets”> <?php
   get_archives() ?>
 * </div>
 * <div id=”archivedCat”>
    <h3>Articles By Category</h3> <ul class=”bullets”> <?
   php wp_list_cats(‘arguments’); ?>
 * </div>

 * When I click on a Category, it appears to tak me to the appropriate Post. And
   when I click on the Archives month, it seems to work, too.

 * when you click on the archives month it takes you to a post in that month, but
   I want it to go to a page that shows all the articles in that month like a list,
   which can then be clickable to open that article

 * That’s not really helping much. I don’t understand why it is so hard to achieve,
   I mean what is the point of an archives page if you can’t display all the posts
   in the archive.
 * When I click on December I want it to display all the posts in December, and 
   then if I click on article one in December it shows that article.
 * This really shouldn’t be too hard to achieve. This is one of the reason why i
   may move to Symphony, its ability to produce what you want without having to 
   go through lengthy forum threads.

 * How many posts do you have in December? That is the way it should work out of
   the box.

 * How many posts do you have set to display under the Options-Reading configuration?

 * I suspect you have set in Options > Readings to show one article/post per page.
   
   That setting applies to ALL your pages/views. That’s the default setting of WP.
   If you want different number of posts to be displayed in different views, you
   have to use a plugin. Here are two of them: [http://mattread.com/archives/2005/03/custom-query-string-plugin/](http://mattread.com/archives/2005/03/custom-query-string-plugin/)

 * Yeah I know, I only want one article per page in its entire form. But when I 
   am clicking on the months or categories I want it to look like this:
 * Articles in December
 * Article One
    Article Two Article Three
 * Will these plugins allow me to do this? Why is it in a form of a plugin and not
   just part of the makeup of the application.

 * You don’t need a plugin for that, you can just do that with WordPress.
 * Just edit your Archives Template. If you just want a list of post-titles (headlines)
   you can do that. If you want the date, excerpt, or post content, you can display
   that, or not.
 * In any case, every article you write has a “single” page, all its own, already.
   At the permalink URL of that post ID. So I like to make my Archives a month of
   headlines from that month, each headline click to the single page article.
