Thesis comes with a default archive page. It’s fine, but I wanted mine to show more. I found out how to accomplish it via the DIY Forums and the WordPress Codex. Here’s the code to add to the custom_functions.php:
/* Custom Archives Page */
function my_archive() {
?>
<div class="archive">
<div class="archivel">
<h3>By Month:</h3>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
</ul>
<h3>By Category:</h3>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_categories('sort_column=name&title_li='); ?>
</ul>
<h3>By Tag:</h3>
<?php wp_tag_cloud('smallest=10&largest=10&format=list'); ?>
</div>
<div class="archiver">
<h3>By Post: (Last 100 articles)</h3>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit=100'); ?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<?php
}
remove_action('thesis_hook_archives_template', 'thesis_archives_template');
add_action('thesis_hook_archives_template', 'my_archive');
- Next go into your WordPress dashboard and create a new page.
- Name that page “Archives” and choose the “Archives” template.
- Publish the page.
- Now go to the “Thesis Options” page under “Appearance.”
- Go to the “Navigation Menu” and click on “Archives” to include it in the nav menu.
- Click on the “Big Ass Save Button.”
That’s it!
