However, given that the archives are output as a semantically correct list, it should be possible to use the techniques given here [http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/menus/demo.html](http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/menus/demo.html) We may well add the ability to have the archives output as a drop down list ( like dropdown_cats) Mike * Thread Starter [Geronimo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geronimo/) * (@geronimo) * [22 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/archives-pulldown/#post-22722) * Thanks for the reply Mike. I just dont want to have a huge archive listed by month in awhile. * Moderator [Matt Mullenweg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matt/) * (@matt) * [22 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/archives-pulldown/#post-22723) * You can limit the number of months that show by putting a number as the second parameter to the get_archives function. * Thread Starter [Geronimo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geronimo/) * (@geronimo) * [22 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/archives-pulldown/#post-22748) * Well I will try that out later tonight and see if it works. Thanks. * Thread Starter [Geronimo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geronimo/) * (@geronimo) * [22 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/archives-pulldown/#post-22770) * It works great. Thanks again * Thread Starter [Geronimo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geronimo/) * (@geronimo) * [22 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/archives-pulldown/#post-22787) * orbert, I found one small bug, well I guess it is one. I was messing around with a setting up a photoblog and wanted to have the archives on a seperate page from the index file, ie. archives.php. when selecting a spefic archive it goes to archives.php?m=200307&submit=view+archive instead of removing the archives. php and sending the user to ?m=200307&submit=view+archive Want to see what I am rambling about [http://www.error5.net/photolog/archives.php](http://www.error5.net/photolog/archives.php). Dont mind the mess just trying some things out right now. * Thread Starter [Geronimo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geronimo/) * (@geronimo) * [22 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/archives-pulldown/#post-22795) * Thanks Orbert. Yeah I looked at the code and noticed it was just about the same. MMmm. I used that code from the other thread it appears to work. No biggie on the time frame. I just noticed it last night. Still working on getting my photolog setup. * Thread Starter [Geronimo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geronimo/) * (@geronimo) * [22 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/archives-pulldown/#post-22796) * [@seriocomic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seriocomic/) Every nice site. I dont know why but I just really like that grey blue color. I will look at the code . Got a bit of insomnia show I will probably screw it up bad. * [southerngal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/southerngal/) * (@southerngal) * [22 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/archives-pulldown/#post-23033) * This worked excellent! Thank you! 🙂 Is there a way to put in parameters like I did for the categories? Such as: Which turns the first name of the category into Choose One, instead of August 2003. How about flipping the archives so that the oldest is on top? * [carthik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carthik/) * (@carthik) * [22 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/archives-pulldown/#post-23155) * I hope this thread is still alive. I tried the hack, but it does not work. All I get in the dropdown menu is “january 2004” for some reason. Why is this so? I use WP1.01 . I would be grateful for any help with any required updates etc… * [carthik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carthik/) * (@carthik) * [22 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/archives-pulldown/#post-23156) * the site url is [carthik.net](http://carthik.net) Thanks!!
