I’m pleased to announce the release of SRG Clean Archives 3.0 for WordPress which has been completely rewritten from version 2.1.
In this latest release, you’ll notice the following features and improvements:
- SRG Clean Archives Admin Page
- Toggle on and off comment display (it use to be hard coded in the plugin)
- Streamlined code (less database queries)
- Create dedicated archives page using default page template
Because you can’t put HTML code directly in a WordPress page (as of this post), the only way you could previously use this plugin and have a dedicated archive page was to create a dedicated WordPress archive page template with the SRG Clean Archives code in it or use another plugin to allow HTML in a PHP page.
Now with version 3.0 you can use the default page template from any WordPress theme.
In my example, create a page like you normally would in WordPress. We’ll give it the page title of “Archives”.
In the Page Content section add the following code:
%%srg clean archives%%
Press the publish button and you’re done. You’ll now have an archives page. If you want, you can also add text above the archives page code as seen on my archives.
If you would like to have your archives in your sidebar, you would use the original function call code in your sidebar.php file:
<?php srg_clean_archives(); ?>
That’s about it for now.
If you have any comments, suggestions or bugs to report, let me know.
Also, if the updated readme.txt file is hard to understand, let me know that too as I’m wanting to make this as easy as possible for everyone.
Enjoy the plugin.
