# narchives.php – WP database error

 * I’m hoping someone can help me out here. I’d be VERY grateful! I’m rather new
   to php and am not sure where the problem is.
 * I recently upgraded to WP 2.0.4 (from 1.5). The upgrade went smoothly. The only
   thing that seems to be problematic is my archives.
 * I’m using **narchives.php** in my wp directory (a separate page in my main WP
   directory, for archives). It’s located here:
    [http://www.bookyeti.com/wp/narchives.php](http://www.bookyeti.com/wp/narchives.php)
   The page is fully functional, however near the top of the archive page, is an
   error line:
 * `WordPress database error: [Unknown column 'user_level' in 'where clause']
    SELECT*
   FROM wp_users WHERE user_level > 0
 * I tried turning off all plug-ins to see one of them may be the culprit, but that
   didn’t seem to help.
 * Does anyone have an idea what I can do to fix this?
 * Also, how do I customize this page to look like I want it to? (Colors, backgrounds,
   etc.)

 * Hiya – how have you been?
 * Any plugin which uses the now-deprecated “user-level” call is going to throw 
   that and other errors. First thing to do: check with the plugin author to see
   if there’s an update for it.
 * Once you get that ironed out, then we can look at how to style the whole thing.

 * Hi vkaryl. 🙂 Nice to see you again!
    I’ve been okay, despite some hard times
   lately.
 * I wasn’t aware that narchives.php was a plugin. 🙁

 * Isn’t this the “nicer archives” plugin? narchives.php in your plugins folder?
   I don’t think this is a wp comes-with….

 * Hmm…I don’t see it in my plug-ins folder. I remember using it with my version
   1.5 (I can’t remember where I downloaded it but it wasn’t a plugin, I don’t think)
   and it worked great. Didn’t come with WP, you’re right. But for some reason it’s
   not compatible with 2.0.4
 * While we’re on plugins, I’ve heard lots of good things about **srg_clean_archives**
   plug-in. So I thought I’d try it instead of narchives.php.
 * So I’ve downloaded it, but can’t seem to get it to work either. I’m so confused
   when it comes to this archiving business. Gak!
 * I’m just looking for a nice archive setup that’s easy to work with and somewhat
   easy to customize.
 * Can you help me with this?

 * Sure. Want to send me a login etc. and I’ll look at it off-board?
