Clean Archives Reloaded

What Exactly Does This Plugin Do?

It creates a pretty list of all of the posts that you’ve made to your blog. To see an example, check out my archives page. Note that the image located there that shows the post times of recent posts is generated by a seperate plugin.

Credits / History:

This plugin is based on a concept (it no longer shares any common code) by Sebastian Schmieg for the archive page of his “Blix” theme. His code was later converted to a plugin by Shawn Grimes.

The drawback of both of those versions though was the sheer number of queries required (around 1 per month + 2 per post — it added up quick). So, I decided to make my own version which cached the output so that it was only regenerated when needed and otherwise just pulled with 1 query from the database. I was also given the idea by Chris O’Rourke to use Javascript to make the months collapsible as many people’s archives pages were getting rather long.

All of that was then replaced by the current version which uses WordPress functions and internal WordPress caching techniques to make only one query per page period.

  1. Thanks a lot.

    Yes , I see that. Actually it is the WordPress Admin that is doing that … Is there any way that I can call the code in the php through some function and dont have to use the [cleanarchives…] in the Editor ?

    Thanks again

  4. I posted this a bit ago. Wondered if you’ve had a chance to take a look.

    I like your plugin. It came included with The Stars Theme. When you go to the archives page everything is expanded with a link to EXPAND ALL displaying at top. If you click that everything collapses. But then if you click the month it just expands and collapses automatically. It won’t stay expanded. The example is here:

    Thanks for all help.

    You have the plugin installed twice, therefore the Javascript is executing twice (probably expanding them all and then instantly collapsing them all).

    I’m not understanding how I can have it installed twice. It’s showing up only once in the plugin admin. I deactivated and reactivated, but got the same result.

    Well as you said yourself, the plugin comes bundled with your theme. Perhaps it’s being loaded once from the theme and once from the plugin. Deactivate the plugin. If that doesn’t work, talk to the theme author.

  8. Hello,

    I put the code ([cleanarchivesreloaded]) on my archives.php page, but it doesn´t work. I only see the code on my page.
    How can I use the plugin on this archiv page?

    Without a link or more information than “it doesn’t work”, there’s no way for me to determine what is wrong.

  16. Ok! The link to the page is http://blog.stenstugu.com/bloggarkiv/

    And here is the text I put on it. As you see the page is blank. If I take away the code cleanarchivesreloaded the text is ok even the cartotalposts.

    Här har du alla mina [cartotalposts] inlägg. Den 21/5-09 startade jag den här WP-bloggen. De inlägg som är äldre är importerade från mina äldre bloggar på Blogtown, Blogspot, One.com och så förstås min egen dagbok. En del av inläggen från min dagbok finns bara månadsvis ännu, men jag jobbar på det.

  17. I checked the log and it says: Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 25165824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 215141 bytes) in /customers/stenstugu.com/stenstugu.com/httpd.www/blog/wp-includes/post-template.php on line 80
    I have sent an email to support at One.com, my webhotel, to see if they can expand the memory capacity. If not, I have to delet the page. /Ingrid

  18. I couldn´t get any help från One.com. I can´t use your great plugin and it makes me very disappointed. Anyway, thank you for your kind answers! /Ingrid

  23. Love this plugin! I’ve installed it with no errors, but when I try to change any of the options, and hit the “Save Changes” button, I get this error: “Error! Options page not found.”

    Do you have any idea what this means? I’m running the plugin on WPMU, but usually don’t have trouble with the popular WP plugins working.

    Any thoughts on what this error might mean? Thanks in advance.

  25. Hi!

    This plugin has worked perfectly until now:

    http://avlshest.no/?page_id=9

    I know this probably has nothing to do with the plugin itself, but I’m wondering how to fix it. I can’t find any PHP.INI file so I don’t think I have the right access – does this mean I have to talk to my host? Will they know what to fix

    Please help. Thank you.

  30. Fame,
    Exact same thing was happening for me. The plugin came with my theme. I never got a resolution here, so I finally turned off that functionality. Unfortunate. It is cool. Hopefully, we can get a solution.

  31. That happens when the plugin is installed twice. The Javascript gets run twice which makes it do the animation twice (as if you clicked twice).

    Disable the plugin or remove it from your theme (one or the other) so that it only runs once and you’ll be good.

  32. Hey Vapor,

    Thanks for your reply. I am a little bit of a coder myself. I suck at it but I can hack themes and I can be pretty good with photoshop. So basically any 12 year old can kick my ass in coder probably.

    On your plugin ordeal I have tried to see if the plugin was installed twice and it wasn’t at all. Its in the plugins directory and there isn’t any other clean archives reloaded anywhere. I tried to see if there was any conflicting java and I don’t see any.

    I like to hire you for a word press modification on my theme with Google search. Email me here: [removed]

    Thanks

    Fame

  34. View the source of your website. My plugin’s Javascript is there twice. Perhaps your theme includes a bundled version of it or something. Disable the plugin or switch themes.

    I also don’t do paid work anymore. Sorry.
