Do you have an Archives page where all your previous posts are listed? This nifty little plugin that I found recently displays your archive listings in a clean and uniform fashion that’s search-engine friendly on a dedicated page or in your sidebar.

Some of the features of the SRG Clean Archives includes the following:

  • lists the month or year,
  • shows total post count for the month,
  • shows the day of the month the article was published,
  • shows the title of the article (permalink to article), and
  • the number of comments that have been made on each article.

The newest version, i.e. version 4.1 enables you to toggle the “moo.fx” function for collapsing months. If the “moo.fx” function is not enabled, your full archive will be displayed. You can also choose to hide or display your password-protected posts from showing up in your archives list.

How to create an Archives page in 5 simple steps:

  1. download the SRG Clean Archives plugin from the Geek With Laptop,
  2. unzip the folder and upload the contents into your plugin folder located at “/wp-content/plugins/” ,
  3. activate the SRG Clean Archives plugin from your Plugins menu in your Dashboard,
  4. customize your Archives page from your Plugins > SRG Clean Archives menu, and
  5. create a new page and add this code < !––srg_clean_archives––>.

For more information on the plugin localization, adding styles or adding your archives to your sidebar, please visit the official plugin website. And if you encounter any problems along the way, please do not hesitate to contact Sean, he had been extremely helpful the last time I needed his help :)

And, please feel free to give it a test drive at my Archives page :D
