Shortcode

Annual Archive can also be used in posts and pages simply by including the

shortcode. The following attributes can be defined to customize the way the archive is rendered:

Type Attribute

[[archives type="daily" /]]
[[archives type="weekly" /]]
[[archives type="monthly" /]]
[[archives type="yearly" /]]
[[archives type="decade" /]]
[[archives type="postbypost" /]]
[[archives type="alpha" /]]

Limit Attribute

The limit attribute controls the number of results displayed.

[[archives type="monthly" limit="3" /]]

Order Attribute

The order attribute controls the sort order. The only valid values is DESC and ASC. Descending (DESC) is the default.

[[archives type="yearly" order="ASC" /]]

Alpha Order

By default alpha lists are displayed A->Z ascending. To reverse the order of alpha archive type the alpha_order attributes must be set to DESC.

Examples

[[archives type="alpha" limit="3"]]
[[archives type="alpha" alpha_order="DESC" limit="3"]]

Format Attribute

[[archives type="monthly" limit="7" format="option" /]]

Supported format value options are:

  • html – In HTML list (<li>) tags and before and after strings. This is the default.
  • option – In select (<select>) or dropdown option (<option>) tags.
  • link – Within link (<link>) tags.
  • custom – Custom list using the before and after strings.

Before Attribute
