Showing past month as default

A second issue is when I chose a pas year and should then go back to current year the dropdown list is under our header so I cant access to current year through dropdown menu list.

Only option is then to press > until current year is back in calendar.

Any fix to get dropdown to be placed over the header ( I assume the layer somewhere needs to be adjusted)?

Second issue with layer solved, found that z-index was to low for our site so I changed the 99 to 100 and then dropdown list comes correct over the header ??

So only issue left see my first post!

Hi,

Did you set different categories in your 2 calendars ?

There was a similar issue but it was related to “future” posts that was published (use as event calendar).
You can try the fix but no sure it will help in your case.

Replace these lines in wp-content/plugins/archives-calendar-widget/archives-calendar.php:

581	$archiveYear = $months[0]->year; // if no current year -> show the more recent
582	$archiveMonth = $months[0]->month; // year to be visible

by these:

if( $months[0]->year > intval( date('Y') ) || ( $months[0]->year == intval( date('Y') ) && $months[0]->month > intval( date('m') ) ) )
{
	$found = false;
	for( $i=0; $i<count($months) && !$found; $i++ )
	{
		if( $months[$i]->year <= intval( date('Y') ) && $months[$i]->month <= intval( date('m') ) )
		{
			$found = true;
			$archiveYear = $months[$i]->year;
			$archiveMonth = $months[$i]->month;
		}
	}
}
else
{
	$archiveMonth = $months[0]->month;
	$archiveYear = $months[0]->year;
}

Can you provide a link to your website with the issue?

Regarding my first issue, worth to notice is that this second blogpage are built around one category which also is protected so only visible for login users. I have the settings for calendar widgets to only show this category but for some reason I don’t get current months regardless settings in this sidebar. Its working fine for the first blogpage and this sidebar and settings there is to exclude this protected category so question is if clash when we try to use same widget but in to different pages and different sidebars.

Protected post are excluded from the calendar.

So even if the user should see the protected post after he has logged in the calendar widget can’t show them even if I test the above change in code?

No the above fix will not change anything for you. There’s no rights management in the plugin, the main purpose of this plugin is to show archives of posts for visitors on a public site. So you have to change sql request in the code.
Search and remove this line
AND post_password=''
(4 times).
It will show and count protected posts on calendar for EVERYONE in every calendar.

Tested both option but none works as what ever code I tested I dont get calendar to show current month it showing March 2013 but in that month it exclude what it should and when I navigate to current it show correct there as well son only issue is that calendar is not showing current month from start.

Per

Its working in my blog area where none login users can see everything exclude the protected categories and post so I think its OK at the moment as in the other area its not so important to have the calendar.

But if you come up with a solution to show either protected or unprotected post and categories what ever you click on in your widget I will be glad to test.
