It works, just not as the wiki(s) explain–which ticks me off, because I thought I checked this tag when editing its entry on Codex. However, that’s my problem…
To display the url to the *current* month’s archive of posts, use it like so:
<?php get_month_link('',''); ?>
To get the url to a specific year/month archive, specify that year and month:
<?php get_month_link(2004, 12); ?>
Finally, for the url to the archive of a post’s year/month, some additional PHP is needed:
<?php
$my_year = the_time('Y',FALSE);
$my_month = the_time('m',FALSE);
echo get_month_link("$my_year", "$my_month");
?>
This would have to be used within The Loop. Now, off to correct some wiki pages…
Well I use this tag
<?php get_archives() ?>
and it works ok.
While i’m on I want to know if I can show a list of the recent posts, but also show the author and the date it was published.
Currently I use this tag
<?php get_recent_posts();?>
get_recent_posts() is part of the Recent Posts plugin. You’d have to hack the code of that plugin to get it to list what you want.
Another option is to use the get_posts() tag in a modified post loop.
OK, is it difficult to do. I want it to display the author and the date, i’m quite new at php, so I presume I would have to open the recent-post.php page in Dreamweaver and change the code to include the author and the date.
