Archive Template

    I’ve searched all over and cannot seem to find an answer to my problem. I’ve just upgraded to WP 2.1 and wanted to make an Archives Page so that I can get rid of all the monthly links in my sidebar.
    I’ve added an archives.php to my theme, did write/write page but when I go to the page template pull down all I have is default template, static page, single. Nowhere is archives listed.
    So far I’ve tried it the way it states in the Codex and I tried the way listed here: https://db.rambleschmack.net/blog/2005/06/28/how-to-make-a-wordpress-archives-page/

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • The link you provided it’s a totally outdated tutorial. You don’t need to call the wp-blog-header on the top of the Page templates.

    Just follow the Codex:

    I figured out my problem…seems I have to have that particular theme set as the default theme for it to work. At least it seems to have shown up when I switched themes. So now my question is how do I get that to show up for other themes since I have theme switcher installed? Or just add that .php to all of the themes and it should work?

    I am not sure I can follow you…
    If you add a new template to theme – that is ONLY for that one theme. If you want similar template files in 100 themes = that means 100 template files all placed in their own theme directories.
    A template file from theme A will never show up in theme B.
