Just curious: does it work properly if you switch to the Classic theme?

I just switched and it was the same. Switched back now though!
OK, in that case has to be something related to your server or some general setup. Normally, in that place on the sidebar the months should be listed.

There were recent server problems. What sort of thing could be wrong so I can ask my web host about it?
To be honest, I have no idea – especially in the case of a MS server.
How did we know this is a MS server?
Ask them if they changed backend versions of any of the programs which run the server etc. – mysql, php…. or if they did something unusual such as restore an old backup…. or did they do something even odder with mod_security….
Though I have to say most of the host-side/backend stuff would wonk something more than just the display of the month names – UNLESS they did something targeted specifically to the date display (don’t count that out, actually. I’ve had it happen…. but that was back in the “omigoddess Y2K is coming” days….)
Oh…. geesh, who would look at the validation first for something like this?

That is for the main website, not the blog url 🙂
I just had a further look and it seems the year and month have got mixed up somewhere.
The months are also missing from the wp control panel I am thinking it might have something to do with the database. I don’t know much about databases, so can someone tell me if this bit of code is meant to get info from the database?
<?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly’); ?>
It seems ‘monthly’ has got mixed up and is showing the year.
Any ideas how I can fix this??
All the “storage” in wp is in the database, yes. As to how to fix, try starting here: Template_Tags/get_archives

Thanks, I took a look at the link and it seems all the code is ok so somewhere in the database the months and years have got mixed up! I’m not very confident with databases so might just not worry about having archives for now.
