How to make an Archive page for your blog

ADVERTISEMENTS

A few readers in the past have emailed me to ask on how I made the Archive page on this blog. I thought of writing a post on it after reading this email from a reader

Hi John,

I have one doubt. What plugin do you use to create the Archives page https://johntp.com/archives/

I have searched many places but didn’t find an answer.

I don’t use any plugin to create the Archive page, I just use this code:

Browse by Month





Browse by Category




You may also use a WordPress plugin called Clean Archives. I have not tried this plugin but have seen some bloggers using it to display all the posts of their blog on the archive page.

    Clean Archives? I am thinking of giving it a try but don’t want to use too many plugins too

    john, If the plugin has options to do only what you want, then it is worth trying it as I don’t see any big difference in generating your archives via code of your own and a plugin.

    but your archives look neat and good to me :)
