Clean My Archives
An easy-to-use shortcode for displaying post archives on your site.
The Clean My Archives plugin was developed because so many archives plugins were overly complicated. I wanted something extremely simple to use that simply got the job done on my own site's archives.
Therefore, I created a simple [clean-my-archives]
shortcode that you can place on any page (or any shortcode-ready area) and list your post archives by month and year.
This plugin also integrates with WordPress caching plugins. So, long lists of archives can be cached for later use and loaded quickly. If you have many years of blog posts, I highly recommend some sort of persistent caching or paginating your archives (see FAQ).
Usage
Add the [clean-my-archives]
shortcode to a shortcode-ready area, such as the page editor. That's it. You have nothing more to do.
However, there are some parameters you can use. The following are examples of these parameters in use.
limit
parameter:
Limit the number of posts with the [clean-my-archives limit="100"]
order
parameter (default is DESC
):
Reverse the order with the [clean-my-archives order="ASC"]
[clean-my-archives order="DESC"]
year
parameter to limit to a year:
Use the [clean-my-archives year="2013"]
month
parameter to limit by month:
Use the [clean-my-archives month="12"]
post_type
parameter
Load specific post types with the [clean-my-archives post_type="post"]
[clean-my-archives post_type="post, page"]
Pagination (via the post/page editor):
[clean-my-archives year="2013"]
<!-- nextpage -->
[clean-my-archives year="2012"]
<!-- nextpage -->
[clean-my-archives year="2011"]
