Archives by Category

This will create a list of all your posts. They will be ordered alphabetically by category. Category names will be anchor links so you
can easily link to them. You can put this as a list in your side bar or you can create an Archives page, whichever you prefer.

Version 1.0 works with WP prior to version 2.3
Version 2.2 prevents tags from showing up as a category in your list
Version 2.1 fixes errors when table prefix is not wp_

*If you are using WordPress 2.3 download the ArchivesByCategory V 2.0 I totally cleaned up the MySQL and php and
it is easier to read, for you to configure and should run a little faster.

*If you are using an earlier WordPress version you need ArchivesByCategory V 1.0

Yours might be slightly different. Remove that line and put in its place:

3) Now all you have to do is create a page – call it ⁁rchives†and select ⁁rchives†as the page template. Nothing else needs to be done but to ⁰ublish†the page.

I⁶e built in anchor links to the page. It will get very long over time. You will want to create anchor links to each category.
( See How and why you should use anchor links http://herselfswebtools.com/2007/09/anchor-tags.html).

The archives page will update itself with all your news posts as you publish them. Nothing more need be done once this has been set up.
