how to get “home >> category” on top of archive

  • I’m trying to get menus like that for the top of the page:
    home >> category_name and home >> month for both my monthly and cat archives
    I’m using a <?php if (!$cat) { echo etc... conditional to have it show up but I can’t get the condition for monthly archives right. I tried if ($m And !$p) but that doesn’t work. I’m not quite clear of the variables and their values at this point… ??
    Also, how would I get the name of the month/category? the_category will return all the categories related to the posts that are in the single category selected. I would like it to show only the one “main” cat selected in archive.
    I hope I’m making sense ??

    as I was asking this question, I just realized I could use <?php wp_title(); ?> to achieve what I was trying to get. Not perfect, but pretty close! ?? Sorry for useless thread!

    Mister X,
    The navigation you are describing is commonly referred to as “breadcrumbs.” Maybe somebody else has a solution as well and will post it.
