Modify the Archives Page

    Hey everyone,

    I’m using WordPress as a daily photo blog. It’s been working well for about a year, but I just added the archives widget to my sidebar.

    Here’s the problem: when you click on any month in the sidebar, it only shows the title for that month, when I really need it to show the photos. Otherwise, you have to click each title to see the photos.

    I found I have to modify the “page-archives.php” file in my template (I think). Do you know what I have to do to get the photos to show up in the content (both the post’s title and content are in the Loop, but photos still refuse to show)?

    Thanks!

    It would make it so much simpler when asking these types of questions if you guys could provide a link to the theme being used.

    Anyway, my guess is whatever template you’re using for the archive listing is set to show only POST TITLES … or … it is using the_excerpt. If the latter, that tag strips out ALL html. If your posts contain only images than obviously they will not display. You could alter the template used to display the archive listing to use the_content.
