Hey, how’s it going? Love the template, thank you so much for it!

I’d like to display the Archives separated by Year, kind of similar to this: http://markmanson.net/archive/

I think the easiest way to do that is to edit the “template-archives.php” file. Specifically this section:

$args_loop = array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'posts_per_page' => 9999999 );
$loop_custom = new WP_Query( $args_loop );

if ( $loop_custom->have_posts() ) :
	while ( $loop_custom->have_posts() ) : $loop_custom->the_post();

Can you show me how to edit this section so that it will only show posts for a specific year? Then I can just copy it and duplicate it for each year I want to recreate.

Thank you!

Hi cyi101,
Instead of editing the php file you can try to use this plugin.

Thanks

Thanks for the link, but I don’t like the look of the plugin. I’d rather keep the look of your Archives page, but just do a simple modification to the php file.

Can you show me what to change in that block of code (from “template-archives.php”) so I can bring in certain years? For example, if you show me how to modify this so only entries from 2016 show up, I can figure out how to do it for the other years:

$args_loop = array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'posts_per_page' => 9999999 );
$loop_custom = new WP_Query( $args_loop );

if ( $loop_custom->have_posts() ) :
	while ( $loop_custom->have_posts() ) : $loop_custom->the_post();

Thank you!

Hi cyi101,
When you update the theme, your customization will gone. Are you going to create a child theme ?

[cyi101]

Yes, I’ll be using a child theme. So I’d love to know how to modify that block of code to show only a certain year. Then I can figure out the rest myself, thank you!

Hi, you can use the 'year' parameter.

$args_loop = array( 'post_type' => 'post', 'posts_per_page' => -1, 'year' => 2016 );

Thank you Mehmet, that was exactly what I needed! You guys are awesome :)

You’re welcome, please don’t forget to rate the theme on themeforest if you liked it, thanks.
