 * I’m working on a site and would like to incorporate all the posts from a category
   in the left side menu bar. [http://earthlit.com/](http://earthlit.com/)
 * I managed to get them in place with a line of php code in sidebar.php.
 * _Line of code being used: <?php wp\_get\_archives( array( ‘type’ => ‘postbypost’,‘
   limit’ => 30, ‘format’ => ‘custom’ ) ); ?>_
 * But I need to have the list to have one post per line like an unordered list.
 * Could someone help me figure out what I need to do?

 * try to incorparate the `'before'` and `'after'` parameters as described in the
   Codex [https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_archives](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_archives);
 * example:
 * `<ul><?php wp_get_archives( array( 'type' => 'postbypost', 'limit' => 30, 'format'
   => 'custom', 'before' => '<li>', 'after' => '</li>' ) ); ?></ul>`
