# Missing “Archives” directory

 * Ok, I’ve been running WP since 1.2 and now have 2.0.1 installed. So far, so good.
   I decide to modify the REVVED-UP theme, and it has something called “complete
   archives” (which works on the author’s site at [http://rudd-o.com/projects/revvedup](http://rudd-o.com/projects/revvedup).
   I’ve read his “README” file and installed his RevvedUp-plugin.php, activated 
   it, and it STILL doesn’t create the “Complete Archives” page (Giving an Error
   404 that the Plugin created).
 * Could it be that I don’t HAVE an “archives” directory? How do I get one? How 
   does it get populated?
 * I’ve messed with it for over 12 hours before walking away in frustration.
 * You can see what it does at [http://silverblue.thesilverblue.com/test](http://silverblue.thesilverblue.com/test)(
   I’m testing it there before unleasing it on the [http://thesilverblue.com/wp](http://thesilverblue.com/wp)
   site I run, and this is the last thing I can’t get working)

 * Ok, so I go an create an “archives” page.
 * Why is it the system is telling me “Direct access ot this page is not allowed?”?

 * I’ve checked the .htaccess files and they’re identical except for the /test in
   one and /wp in the other, so I know it’s not that.
