  thanks kwebble for this . here is the update to make it work with the v2.3 version of wordpress .

  function kwebble_getarchives_where_for_category($where, $args){
  global $kwebble_getarchives_data;

  if (isset($args['cat'])){
  // Preserve the category for later use.
  $kwebble_getarchives_data['cat'] = $args['cat'];

  if ( get_bloginfo('version') > 2.3 )
$where .= ' AND post2cat.category_id=' . $args['cat'];
else
$where .= " AND taxonomy.taxonomy = 'category' AND taxonomy.term_id = " . $args['cat'];
}
return $where;
}


  and later

  
function kwebble_getarchives_join_for_category($join, $args){
global $wpdb;

  if (isset($args['cat'])){
  if ( get_bloginfo('version') > 2.3 )
  $join .= ' JOIN ' . $wpdb->post2cat . ' post2cat ON post2cat.post_id=ID';
  else
  $join = " LEFT JOIN $wpdb->term_relationships ON ($wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->term_relationships.object_id) LEFT JOIN $wpdb->term_taxonomy taxonomy ON ($wpdb->term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id = taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id) ";

  }
return $join;
}

  sorry that should be less than not greater than 2.3

  function kwebble_getarchives_where_for_category($where, $args){
  global $kwebble_getarchives_data;

  if (isset($args['cat'])){
  // Preserve the category for later use.
  $kwebble_getarchives_data['cat'] = $args['cat'];

  if ( get_bloginfo('version')

  and later

  
function kwebble_getarchives_join_for_category($join, $args){
global $wpdb;

  if (isset($args['cat'])){
  if ( get_bloginfo('version') post2cat . ' post2cat ON post2cat.post_id=ID';
  else
  $join = " LEFT JOIN $wpdb->term_relationships ON ($wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->term_relationships.object_id) LEFT JOIN $wpdb->term_taxonomy taxonomy ON ($wpdb->term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id = taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id) ";

  }
return $join;
}

  Thanks, I didn’t realize the plugin needed an upgrade for the new Wordpress version.

  I’ll test this when I upgrade my site to the 2.3 version and if everything is ok I will post a new version of the plugin.

  Just installed the plugin myself (within WP v2.3.1) and it needed queenvictoria’s modification.

  However, if you are going to try it yourself: just copy & paste the code from queenvictoria’s FIRST post (from “4 october 2007, 22:08) and then modify the ‘greater than’ symbol to a ‘less than’ by hand in BOTH instances.

  It looks as if the code got messed up when submitting the second post (from “4 october 2007, 22:14″)

  Thanks for the note.

  In the coming days I’m upgrading my development version of the site to WordPress 2.3.1. Then, if everything works ok, I’ll upgrade my site and make a new version of this plugin available.

  If you’re going to use this with WordPress 2.3, you’ll have to use the plugin which disables canonical redirects. The new version of Wordpress doesn’t correctly process the URLs to show archives only in a given cat. (Specifically URLs like /2007/10/?cat=1 won’t work unless canonical URLs are disabled.)

  Here’s the plugin…

  At the moment I’m testing a new version of the plugin and also noticed that the URL’s generated by the plugin are redirected incorrectly creating archive pagess with incorrect posts.

  To solve this I’m adding the possibility to disable canonical URLs from the administration menu.

  A new version (1.2) with WordPress 2.3 support is now available.

  This is really great, but I was wondering if there was a way to show multiple categories.

• Rob Schlüter

  Using multiple categories is not possible at the moment. I’ll have a look to see if I can add support for more than 1 category.

  Just updated the plugin to version 1.3, which adds support for multiple categories.

  Hi, this was exactly what I was looking for! And using it along with the category-id.php works very well! Thank you so much!

  Hi, love the plug-in, it works great. One question though, is there a way to make the monthly category archives use the archive template instead of the category template? Thanks

• Rob Schlüter

  cj, perhaps you could rename the category template and create a new one that checks if a category or archive page is requested, and include() the appropriate template.

  I think you’ll have check for a part in the URL that identifies the requested page type, for example a date pattern, because the is_archive() is also true for category pages, according to the Codex .

  this is great. Curious if it’s possible to show the number of posts next to the month and year. for example August 2007 (6) If there were 6 posts from that month.

  @slambert: does the parameter show_post_count you can use with wp_get_archives do what you need?

• slambert

  @rob Schülter: yes and no. That’s the functionality, but I still want to filter it by category. Make sense?

  I just noticed that this plugin doesn’t work in Wordpress 2.5. Any plans to update it? Thanks for your work so far — it’s a very helpful plugin.

• Rob Schlüter

  I will investigate what’s the reason 2.5 breaks the plugin.
