I haven’t been able to get Sortable Nicer Archives working since I upgraded to WordPress 2.0 either. I have started with a fresh copy of the narchives.php file and commented out all the author parts (as I have anyway).

The only way I can get it to return anything is when I select category.

Anyone else have some tips on getting the old Sortable Nicer Archives working smoothly in WordPress 2.0. I gotta have’em! =)

No, I’m not too familiar with the world of WordPress themes.

I think this is more a way of using WordPress than just a theme, since it requires certain factors like one post per page and comic images to be in place. The theme itself is just real basic and simple so that it would be easy for people to make their own design adjustments. Plus its a pretty specific crowd that would use it.

Well, I found a solution. I run a single-post post loop at the bottom of header.php. I only called up the date in the format I save the comics in with a DOT GIF extension and IMG SRC info surrounding it(For example: 2005-11-05.gif). Then I just set it to one post per page, I suppose you could do one day per page too for multiple posts per comic.

The code I used. Although I’ll probably move the IMG SRC to a subfolder rather than just in root:

<?php
$gposts = get_posts('numberposts=1');
foreach ($posts as $post) :
?>

<?php echo '<img src="' ?>
<?php the_time('Y-m-d') ?>
<?php echo '.gif" />' ?>

<?php
endforeach;
?>

I’m thinking one way to do this would be with multiple loops.

I could run 2 post loops. The first one would only show the custom field. Of course there should only be one post anyway so it would show one comic on that page.

Problem is I would not know how to go about setting up the separate loop that would appear up above the other loop and sidebar.
