Quick and simple plugin

First, backup your original files. Keep in mind that if/when the plug-in gets updated, it’ll undo all these changes.

Then try the following changes to compact.php

Add the variable in line 78 from this:
$result = utf8_encode( get_compact_archive( $style, $before, $after ) );

To this:
$result = utf8_encode( get_compact_archive( $style, $before, $after, $category ) );

Change the query in line 105 from this:
$results = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT DISTINCT YEAR(post_date) AS year, MONTH(post_date) AS month FROM " . $wpdb->posts . " WHERE post_type='post' AND post_status='publish' AND post_password='' ORDER BY year DESC, month DESC" );

To this:

$results = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT DISTINCT YEAR(post_date) AS year, MONTH(post_date) AS month FROM  " . $wpdb->posts . " WHERE post_type='post' AND post_status='publish' AND post_password='' AND ID IN (
          SELECT object_id FROM wp_term_relationships WHERE term_taxonomy_id IN (
            SELECT term_taxonomy_id FROM wp_term_taxonomy WHERE taxonomy = 'category' AND term_id IN (
                      SELECT t.term_id  FROM wp_terms t WHERE t.slug IN ('" . $category . "')
            )
          ) 
       )

      ORDER BY year DESC, month DESC" );

Change the RESULTS section, on line 137 from this:
$result .= '<a href="' . get_month_link( $year, $month ) . '" title="' . $month_name . ' ' . $year . '">' . $month_abbrev . '</a> ';

To this:
$result .= '<a href="/index.php?category_name=' . $category . '&year=' . $year . '&monthnum=' . $month . '" title="' . $month_name . ' ' . $year . '">' . $month_abbrev . '</a> ';

Update the Shortcode section line 164 from this:
$string = $wrap . get_compact_archive( $style, $before, $after ) . $wrap_end;

To this:
$string = $wrap . get_compact_archive( $style, $before, $after, $category ) . $wrap_end;

That’s it.
