Great, I’ll take a look in the next day or so!

Hey @jenolan — I’ve unarchived the GitHub repo, if you don’t mind submitting some pull requests with the changes you’ve made we can start there. I’m obviously not involved with anything WP anymore, so in the longer term it would be great if we can transition it over to you!

Hi Hubert,

Thanks for taking the time to let me know. I’ve been pretty busy this week but I will take a look at this over the weekend. I suspect the shortcode filters may be firing after Markdown, which would lead to mass confusion all around.

No plans for custom post types, unless people really want it. I originally wrote this plugin because a) I wanted to use the Parsedown library, and b) I didn’t want the 10,000 other features that Jetpack forces onto you.

Hi Erik,

The code I use is here:

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Robin

Answered your other thread.

There’s no option for that, but there’s a smarter_archives_months filter here:

$month_names = array( '',
__( 'Jan', 'smarter-archives' ), __( 'Feb', 'smarter-archives' ), __( 'Mar', 'smarter-archives' ),
__( 'Apr', 'smarter-archives' ), __( 'May', 'smarter-archives' ), __( 'Jun', 'smarter-archives' ),
__( 'Jul', 'smarter-archives' ), __( 'Aug', 'smarter-archives' ), __( 'Sep', 'smarter-archives' ),
__( 'Oct', 'smarter-archives' ), __( 'Nov', 'smarter-archives' ), __( 'Dec', 'smarter-archives' )
);
unset( $month_names[0] );
$month_names = apply_filters( 'smarter_archives_months', $month_names );

You can hook into this filter, for example in your theme’s functions.php.

Great, I’m glad you got it worked out.

I think that’s because each year isn’t enclosed in a <tr> tag, which appears to be a shortcoming in the plugin. I’m planning to rethink how the shortcode works for the next big release.

As for how it’s done on my site, I actually do it in PHP using the get_smarter_archives() function. Here’s what the code looks like:

I haven’t had any reports of this before and I also can’t think of anything that would stop it from working in a child theme.

I’ll try to reproduce this on my own this weekend. Are you using a publicly available parent and or child theme? I can try to reproduce it with exactly what you have going on.

Yup. Whenever I update the plugin files, it has the “Some settings have changed, please save your settings” (or something like that) alert at the top of the page so I go ahead and do that.

I haven’t changed any settings in the process of installing the last few updates. Did the default behavior change?

It works with a normal server running PHP. Anything that WordPress supports, this should support too.

Just installed it and tried it out; seems to work fine so far. I’ll let you know if I have any problems, but so far so good.

Thanks for taking the time to fix this.

You’ll figure this out when you work on how to do this, but it just occurred to me that after getting the “/wp” part, you should strip the first slash and add a trailing slash to make it work with the rewrite rules.

Thanks for looking into this!
