Quick and simple plugin

Hi there! Could you elaborate on how you did this? I’ve been hunting for this kind of feature and this is the most promising thing I’ve heard yet. ?? Thanks in advance!

First, backup your original files. Keep in mind that if/when the plug-in gets updated, it’ll undo all these changes.

Then try the following changes to compact.php

Add the variable in line 78 from this:
$result = utf8_encode( get_compact_archive( $style, $before, $after ) );

To this:
$result = utf8_encode( get_compact_archive( $style, $before, $after, $category ) );

Change the query in line 105 from this:
$results = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT DISTINCT YEAR(post_date) AS year, MONTH(post_date) AS month FROM " . $wpdb->posts . " WHERE post_type='post' AND post_status='publish' AND post_password='' ORDER BY year DESC, month DESC" );

To this:

$results = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT DISTINCT YEAR(post_date) AS year, MONTH(post_date) AS month FROM  " . $wpdb->posts . " WHERE post_type='post' AND post_status='publish' AND post_password='' AND ID IN (
          SELECT object_id FROM wp_term_relationships WHERE term_taxonomy_id IN (
            SELECT term_taxonomy_id FROM wp_term_taxonomy WHERE taxonomy = 'category' AND term_id IN (
                      SELECT t.term_id  FROM wp_terms t WHERE t.slug IN ('" . $category . "')
            )
          ) 
       )

      ORDER BY year DESC, month DESC" );

Change the RESULTS section, on line 137 from this:
$result .= '<a href="' . get_month_link( $year, $month ) . '" title="' . $month_name . ' ' . $year . '">' . $month_abbrev . '</a> ';

To this:
$result .= '<a href="/index.php?category_name=' . $category . '&year=' . $year . '&monthnum=' . $month . '" title="' . $month_name . ' ' . $year . '">' . $month_abbrev . '</a> ';

Update the Shortcode section line 164 from this:
$string = $wrap . get_compact_archive( $style, $before, $after ) . $wrap_end;

To this:
$string = $wrap . get_compact_archive( $style, $before, $after, $category ) . $wrap_end;

That’s it.
