• I’m a newbie with WP and I try to get Extended Live Archives into my blog.
    After i have uploaded files and activated it in the plug-in tab, initial in option tab as the Extended Live Archives’s instructions.

    I’ve create a page with the name archives based on archives template and put the code:
    <?php af_ela_super_archive(); ?>
    in that page.

    But when i try to browse http://www.cuongmc.com/archives it doesn’t work at all.

    I did something wrong?
    Can you explain for me step by step of creating an archive page?
    Thanks for your help.

  • The problem is two-fold. At least.
    It seems you are not using the “nice” permalinks, so the Page you have created is here:
    http://www.cuongmc.com/?page_id=83 and not where you were looking for it.
    On the other hand I guess you put that code in the content area in the Write > Write Page panel. I think you should put the code in the code of a Page template.

    Great, thank you very much moshu.
    Now i know how to use the “nice” permalinks and the link http://www.cuongmc.com/archives is working now.

    But the problem is archives format is not the same as i expected while using Extended Live Archives.
    You can see the demonstration of Extended Live Archives here: http://www.sonsofskadi.net/index.php/archives/
    And my archives is here: http://www.cuongmc.com/archives/

    How can i make my archives work like the demonstration link?

    Thank you.

    Seemingly your archive Page is using not the Page template you have created (did you create it, btw?) but the built-in archives.php of Kubrick.
    Actually you can just edit the archives.php and replace the archive template tag with the code from the plugin.

    Thank you, moshu.

    I’ve created archives page base on built-in archives.php of Kubrick and the results was like that.

    I don’t know how to create (or edit) to have a template like this: http://www.sonsofskadi.net/index.php/archives/

    Is there any tutor for me to make that template.
    Thank you.

    Just open that archives.php template you have and replace the template tag <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?> and – if you want – the other one, too <?php wp_list_cats(); ?>

    and replace them with the code you posted in your intial post here 🙂

    Thank you, moshu

    I’ve just added the tag <?php af_ela_super_archive(); ?> after <?php wp_list_cats(); ?>…

    But the archive page printed out:
    “Could not open cache file for years”

    I’ve chmod this plug-in cache’s folder to something like 777 but it doesn’t help.

    Any idea?
    Many thanks,
    CuongMC
