 * I am using form for my archive page so user can specify which posts they want
   to see and how they want to see them. I have it setup so they can choose ascending
   or descending order, posts per page etc, using $_GET in my forms. However I have
   also set up form to set display posts by year/month:
 *     ```
       <select name="monthnum">
   
                 <option value="null">Month</option>
   
                 <option value="1">January</option>
   
                 <option value="2">February</option>
   
                 <option value="3">March</option>
       ```
   
 * etc. for all month and the same one for year
 * then my query arguments look like this:
 *     ```
       $paged = ( get_query_var('paged') ) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
   
           $custom_args = array(
   
               'post_type' => 'post',
               'posts_per_page' => $_GET["posts-per-page"],
               'paged' => $paged,
               'order' => $_GET["order"],
               "orderby" => "date",
               "year" => $_GET["year"],
               "monthnum" => $_GET["monthnum"]
   
             );
   
           $custom_query = new WP_Query( $custom_args );
       ```
   
 * So far I added a couple of posts to test things so they are all august 2015 and
   if i set these through $_GET, it displays well however if I try to do January
   or any other month apart from August, my archive page get redirected to index.
   php where I have the loop and it display “no posts…” while it should display “
   No posts…” on the archive page, as I’ve set it up, there’s no need to post rest
   of the code since I’ve figured out that the redirection happens immediately after`
   new WP_query` is created. What might cause this issue?
