I need help to figure out how to get my archives to sort by month and then the entry title below as a link.

I tried this:
   

But as you can see it's not the right way to do it... This way I get for example:

October November
and then all the entries...

I'd like it to look something like this instead:

October
# ....
# ....
# ....

November
# ...
# ...
# ...

and so on. What's the "real" code for this?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Maria

Welcome to MT, we love helping out newbies!

Try this code -

That should give you the Month with each entry's linked title underneath it

Kristine

Thanks a lot Kristine for a quick reply! And it works just fine. I knew that I forgot some part...  :0

But how do I do to use two different styles?



But that didn't work...

What I want is one style for the "month" and another one for the titles.  :p

Oh, okay  Try this:

That way, the first style is just around the title, and the 2nd style is just around the linked title

Kristine

Of course! Now when I see it's so obvious... *lol*

Thanks a lot!  :D

How would I modify this code to just display a list of the entries for each individual month?  For example, if I click on November's archives, I would only want November's entries to show up, as I already have a navigation link to the previous and next months.

I'm looking for list format of:
Post date      Title     Excerpt

Can anyone help?

I think that you just need to customize the date-based archive template.  It will automatically know to only display the info for the single month.



I think that should do it

Thanks, Kristine!  I had to do a bit of CSS tweaking and other good stuff, but I was able to use the code you provided.  I knew it had to be something fairly simple, but it's Monday and I can't think.

Here's the final result: Monthly Archives

Looks good, Belle - glad I could help!
