    I just figured out how the archiving structure can be used without having the main page set to show posts by # of days. It is so unbelievably simple…I’m embarrassed!
    If you have the code running already add this line:
    $what_to_show = ‘days’;
    above this line:
    $posts_per_page = ‘-1’;
    in arch.php and then you can go into options and set the what_to_show option to whatever your heart desires!
    If you don’t have it running currently, the instructions for setting it up are in the Wiki…

    Let me know if anyone runs into any problems…

  • Inspector Chan, which “new version” are you referring to: 1.2.1 or 1.3*? It still works on 1.2.1, but I haven’t tested 1.3.

    Mtdewvirus,
    I know this came pretty late but I’ve spruced up the archives hack and it seemed to work, but for some reason the mod_rewrite (or something else) only shows all of the posts in that date or category at once. It does show category and date on main page but whenever I click on either one, it jumps straight to display all posts. How do I adjust it so it wouldn’t do that? Like after clicking on either category or date, it’d show up a list of all posts and then you have an option to click on one of the posts you want to read. I was using the proffered mod_rewrite for the .htaccess file, but if I used your mod_rewrite it wouldn’t work because it would go to a list of posts but if I try to click on any one of those, it’d not display the post itself. Is there a fix for this? Thanks for your time and I really like your hack, I wish it’d work properly like yours!

    A link to your site would really help to see what is happening. My guess is that you are not pointing the single post pages at index.php, they are going to arch.php or whatever you have the file named.
    Folks…there are much easier ways to accomplish this now in the 1.3 beta code so once it finally goes final, I’ll come out with an update in the form of a theme.

    MtDewVirus,
    I see. That’s probably it. I was pointing to archives.php, not to an index.php. link
    I guess I have to wait for the upgrade to 1.3 to achieve this, so the way it is for now is fine unless there’s a quick fix. Thanks again.

    Just in case anyone stops by here, For WP 1.5, there is a great new way to do this.
