Hello @paul-hartman,

It may solve your problem , please follow the steps.

Go to dashboard >> Appearance >> Widgets >> Archives (Drag and Drop) >> Add on Blog Sidebar

Thank You.

I deleted the old Archives Widget and added a new one. Still has the same problem — no matter which month I pick in the Archives dropdown list, it still shows the latest posts.

I did that. It didn’t help.

Hello @paul-hartman,

Please send one or two screenshots so that we can resolve your issue.

Thank You.

1. Click on “Select Month” under Archives in the sidebar.
2. Click on any month except the top one (August 2023). The latest posts in August 2023 are shown, not the month you picked.

I can’t figure out how to attach a screenshot JPG here. Follow the procedure above to duplicate the issue. This used to work, I know last year, but not sure when it stopped working because I don’t check it every time there’s an update (WordPress, theme, plugins). I have tried turning off caching (including Memcached) and the problem remains.

Click on any month in the Archives dropdown menu in the sidebar except August 2023, for example click on “July 2023”.

Note that the displayed posts did not change. It should be displaying posts that were published in July but it is still displaying August posts.

Hello @paul-hartman,

If you use any plugin on your WordPress, it may conflict because we check our WordPress to ensure it works properly.

Thank You.

I found it: “Date Archives” was turned off in Yoast SEO.
