Frequently Asked Questions
Supprt questions can be asked in the plugin support forum.
This looks like Tumblr!
The idea comes actually from this page and people from a popular microblogging platform Tumblr have used it on their blogs as well. I have taken the idea further, creating a plugin that is differnt in many ways.
How can I change default size of archive?
Open style-archive.css for editing. This is the main file for styling information. First element .snazzy describes the main container.
Height attribute is the height of archive, remove the line if you want full height. Same applies to width. If the archive can not fit in the container, scrollbars will be shown like on the picture.
Also you can enable special effect 1 in your plugin options, this will create a so called carousel effect that will further save space.
How do I change the height and width of the posts and pictures?
Just edit the width of .sz_cont element and height of .sz_img element and notice the change immediately.
How can I show archives full screen like you do?
First create a new empty template file, for example snazzy.php, Then just include header and Snazzy archive call, not the sidebar.Then upload snazzy.php to your theme folder and create a new page on your blog using this template (write page and select this template instead of the default; the option for template is found below the post).
Here is how can one such file look like:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Snazzy Archives
*/?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<p align="center">
<?php if (isset($SnazzyArchives)) echo $SnazzyArchives->display(); ?>
</p><?php get_footer(); ?>
How do I edit and add layouts?
Layouts are stored in files snazzy-layout-1.php, snazzy-layout-2.php and so on.. Edit these fles or make your own using the available variables
- $first_for_day - is the comment first for given day, used usually for additional clearance
- $title - post title
- $excerpt - post excerpt
- $comcount - number of comments
- $imageurl - url of the post image
- $youtubeurl - url of the video (without http://)
- $day, $month, $year - date of post
How do I set carousel options?
Options for carousel (special effect #1) can be found in snazzy-archives.js.php file. You can set how many elements are visible at once (variable visible) and if you change width of the items in your CSS file, do not forget to change it here as well - option def_width (add 16px for default padding).
How can I contribute?
You can create your own custom layouts and special effects! Send them to me for inclusion in future versions. Also you can send your feedback, bug reports and suggestions.

Hi! My name is 
248 Comments
Here's a challenge: I'd love to use Snazzy Archives with The Events Calendar plug in as a cool way to show event listings.
I'm not a coder, but imagine this is possible... but any advice on how to do this would be possible.
The Events Calendar creates a couple new database fields in order to show when an event (concert, film screening, etc) begins and ends. How can I tell Snazzy Archives to pull from this info, instead of the post date?
Additionally, I'd like for this to then NOT show posts of events that have already occurred.
This is clearly almost the opposite of an archives... but I think could be a really exciting way to use Snazzy Archives.
Been looking for something like this all day. Got it working on one of my blog. Thanks for the plugin work perfectly.
Great plugin, this has really helped make the archive section of my site look exactly how i wanted it to :-)
Many thanks!
Hi Vladimir,
I think it's not properly working with the new 2.9.1 wordpress.
Hope, you will fix it soon.
Cheers!
Wish this plugin could use the new post_thumbnail feature of WP 2.9. Doesn't work with Superslider Slideshow plugin, since I add my thumbnail as either a custom field for . Oh well. If you ever add that feature, I would love this plugin.
Thanks!
Hi, I was using this plug-in for awhile on my site, and absolutely love it! However, it randomly stopped working. Now nothing shows up on the page with the [snazzy-archive] code. Any idea what causes this?
Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in /home/talkingw/public_html/familyblog/wp-content/plugins/snazzy-archives/snazzy-archives.php on line 13
How can I fix this?
Thanks for an awesome looking plugin. I'm still taking it into use and playing with the settings but already quite impressed. I've already gotten some improvement ideas but I will check out the plugin support forum to find out if someone else has gotten them too. :)
Hi -- My snazzy archives haven't updated since December 9, even though I've posted since then! Any thoughts on why this is? Thanks for an AWESOME plugin! Mary
Hi -- same at my website. No update since Dezember 7.More Posts are online.
Delete the archive file and the plugin will refresh your archive pages.
I meant to say the _cached_ archive file.
I wasn't sure how to do that, so I went into "Snazzy Archive Settings" and clicked "Use Snazzy Cache" off, and saved the options. Then it worked. I have since clicked "Use Snazzy Cache" back on, so we'll see if I have problems again. Thanks!
Additional note -- clicking "Use Snazzy Cache" on again reverted it back to showing only up to Dec. 6. So for the time being, until I can figure out how to delete my cached archive file, I'll just have to keep Snazzy Cache clicked off.
Same funny problem here. But Snazzy Cache off works.

Just allowed the latest plugin update this morning. My archive still displays... but shows this message above it:
Warning: Missing argument 1 for SnazzyArchives::display(), called in /home/content/a/r/t/artisticdesign/html/michiganmoments/wp-content/themes/dilectio/dilectio/snazzy.php on line 24 and defined in /home/content/a/r/t/artisticdesign/html/michiganmoments/wp-content/plugins/snazzy-archives/snazzy-archives.php on line 290
Any thoughts on what could be wrong?
LOVE this plugin - it's just amazing! Excellent work.
Hi, any solution yet? having the same problem and don't know how to fix ist...
Help !
Don't know why I'm receiving the following error message, after the latest upgrade:
Warning: Missing argument 1 for display() in /homez.42/viedisca/www/WordPress/wp-content/plugins/snazzy-archives/snazzy-archives.php on line 290
Beautiful way of showing archives.Gets visitors attention
Hi there,
Don't know why I'm receiving the following error message, all of a sudden, after the latest upgrade:
"Warning: Missing argument 1 for SnazzyArchives::display()..."
As a suggestion it would be nice to have the scrollbar vailable at the top of the archive page as well as the bottem. better yet allow a check block so we can choose one or both.
Also is there a way to config the scrollbar to look different than the standard windows scrollbar? It looks clunky on my page.
It's a great plugin already-Thanks!
Hi Vlad,
Kudos on a fantastic plugin. I noticed though that when I upgraded to the latest release it stopped working. Is there an adjustment I need to make?
Thanks,
JC

New version out with support for selecting archives by year. Thanks to Brian of NetNinja.com

I'm getting it too! what's the solution?
Sorry, this is not really comment now, although I love all what Vladimir posted.
I'm doing it out of desperation to every place I can think of:
Hi,
I would like to ask (actually beg) for help to explain (not to mention solve-that would make me ecstatic) the following phenomena:
Everything I do in Wordpress, write, create, change etc. and update... when check result via “visit site” from WP menu, shows nicely on my site, so no problem there. All perfect.
To my chagrin, I discovered that when I TYPE my domain name in a browser (I use Safari and Firefox) I see (but not always) not identical content. I could not believe my eyes that identical domain shows different content. So for example, some changes do not show as being updated, when looking at site via “Visit site” from WP, all was perfectly changed. In a menu, there are subcategories shown that I have deleted while ago and do not exist in my WP any more. When I click on such a subcategory, it shows error, article could not be found (of course not, it has been placed under newly created category because this one actually doesn’t exist...) So how could it survived still here showing itself to public when I removed it??) All this is beyond my understanding and to be honest, drives me crazy. Please, if anyone knows what I am talking about, or knows explanation, solution, please, share it with me. I lost so much time on this, I called server, hosting co. and called Internet provider, to flush cache (this was suggestion of server people) I spent whole day just on cleaning things, you name it, no change... The irony of it is, that sometimes browser shows it acutely. When that happen I thought; oh, finally it got fixed. But if I try few minutes later, there you go.... same problem.
Thank you so much for your time and I wait anxiously for the “genius” that would
figure this out...
My warmest regards, Maya
Vladimir! This is an awesome plugin. I stumbled on it while looking for various WP Themes. It was easy to install and works flawlessly.
Thank you,
Chip
Vladimir, I just came across this plugin. It looks awesome! I'm excited to try it out.
I used it for my homepage. I would be glad to change the style of the bottons in the carousel but i'm not able to... Another question: It's possible to set the last post in evidence anyway? For example it could be open, instead of the others.
Sorry for the questions, I thank you very much for your wonderful plugin. Byes!!
A.
Hi Vladimir,
At first please allow me to express my admiration and appreciation for what I have found in your offer.
It is very generous, useful and so detailed oriented. I am always in awe of people with technical talent and knowledge (and you are excellent) because I totally lack one. I am that art/singing/piano/writing/history...you know, that kind of woman.
So I always leave technical things to men. However I forced myself to learn a lot and was able to set up everything on my WP totally without help, just to challenge myself. It took all of me, endless hours and brain torture to get all these techies into my stubbornly refusing brain. Now, all done to a point, I have found you and was elated. I loved so much so many of your ideas, like the "archive display", etc. But, unfortunately after downloading all and activating I visited my site and almost got heart attack. My menu was gone, all in red lettering squeezed in left top corner and I figured that I am simply not up to this challenge. I am not sure which one of your plugin did it, but out of fright I quickly deactivated all, praying that that would be a culprit. I got my site, result of my hard work and endless nights, back. It is certainly not your fold, I am just stupid here and have no nerves to handle it. Why I write all this to you? Well, I gave up idea to have all I wanted, but at least one thing I would like to have from your "menu. And that it that "archive" thing and some SEO help. I was wondering what would you charge me to help me with that. I am sorry to ask like that, normally it would not have been problem for me, but I lost my money due to tremendous medical bills for uninsurable person and cannot afford anything until I earn again. So my WP site is important to me and now I have to work from home (being a care-giver) and need this going. Whatever makes it more attractive could help me. I also took your hint about en-carta and applied for it.
Sorry, this is being so long of a "novel" but I am just after shock and then relief that all came back in order for me on my site.
I wish you great success, Vladimir, you certainly have a great something in you.
On personal note:
As you are still discovering code by which you would change the world, in a same spirit I'm looking for such "aphorism" :)
Warm regards,
Maya
The best archive plugin I've ever seen!
A suggestion for an update:
the possibility to sort be category, like this
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/better-extended-live-archive/screenshots/
would be nice, because I don't want to use any other archive plugin like snazzy archives, because none has this great design! :-)
And: a sidebar widget would be nice, because when showing the widget "archive" of Wordpress, it does not show anything about Snazzy.
Hi
It's brilliant idea and carousel especially. But when blog have more than 1000 posts it's very hard to browser to render it. that's why I made light version of this plugin
U can c it on http://www.evgeny.co.il/archive/
Split archive by years
Fixed render small images (when src image small than layout dimension)
Fixed render images with relative path
Added bottom navigation bar
and again, it's amasing! Thanx Vldimir
If you send over the patch I will include it in the next versions with credits of course.
hi Vladimir, have you recieved my files?
This is awesome and something I haven't seen before. Great way of revamping the archives page!
Hello Vladimir,
some people needs to resize the thumbnails default size, like me and some that posted here.
All my pics looks the same, because I have a sunglasses blog.
So in all the pics we see almos just the lens.
Are you planing of doing something like this?
Thank's a lot, for your attention,
best regards from Brazil!
Sure, are you planning to invite me to Brazil ? ;)
having problems getting this to display with the new wordpress update and suggestions?
Love this plug-in. Makes my site work a whole lot better.
Hi,
Amazing plugin. Sadly the forums are down so I am hoping someone can help me here
Instead of the 1st image of each post, I would like to use the thumbnails I have.
I find the auto thumbnail generator for this is not great.. getting pictures of peoples chests instead of faces and such.
I saw someone say they fixed this by choosing what image to use though custom fields..
but didn't post how they did it :(
Can anyone help with this please
thanks
The forums are not down:
http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/forum/snazzy-archives
Hi
Last night when I went to the forums... it said "unavailable due to upgrade" something about an upgrade
but yes it is back now :)
Moving my question there, though sadly all I find is the same user saying they used a custom field but didn't say what they used :(
Hello,
I noticed that the snazzy archive on my site does not display images anymore :
http://www.webknot.net/decouvertes/archives/
and (at least using firefox or safari here) they don't on your :
http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/archive-spec
Thanks for all your plugins
Hi
Not all my images are showing up on my archives page and I am not sure why - there does not appear to be any difference between posts where the image does and does not show
http://elmurphy.co.uk/?page_id=1251
an example are the two posts in October
thanks
Do you have spaces in the names of the images? That caused the problem you describe to occur on my site.
Hi,
I love this plugin. Its exactly what I'm after. However, I cant get it to work with IE8. When the page loads I get the following script errors:
pngfix.js - invalid argument - line 45
jquery.corner.js - not implemented - line 144
functions.js 'null' is null or not an object - line 2 char 2
If I click on a date, nothing happens.
IE6 (and IE8 compatibility mode) it sometimes works for a second, then the post's text disappears and the images move to the left of the screen. I've replicated this on other PCs.
The good news is its perfect in Firefox :) I realise the problems are cause by IE breaking convension and therefore making it very difficult for developers.
Hope you have a suggestion for an IE fix?
I forgot to mention, this only happens in mini mode. I'm using layout 2, effect 1.
Cheers.
this plugin is really good.I liked it
Get this error - using 2.8.4 - what could it be?
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 105536 bytes) in /home/absoluy1/public_html/wp-content/plugins/snazzy-archives/snazzy-archives.php on line 554
What a wonderful, creative idea, Vladimir.
Like Peter Poortinga and Peter Lurie, I'd be very interested in the ability to archive by category.
Vladimir: I needed to add additional quotes around the image URL in snazzy-layout-{1,2}.php to allow the plug-in to work with images that have a space in the URL.
Is there a way to re-size the images for the thumbnails?
Some of mine look really nice when cropped, but others look really scary...
Hi, i have a query regarding this plugin. I was playing around with the options page and i deleted the image cache and soon after that the snazzy archives page stopped showing images. i am running a photoblog and loved this widget to display my photo posts by day in thumbnails... can you be kind enough and let me know how to make it work?
the link to my archives page is : http://photography.exposedout.net/archive/
and it doesn't seem to be working the way the screen-shot of the plugin shows.
i would be glad and happy if you could help me out in this regards :)
thanks and regards
vikram
How difficult would it be to include an anchor navigation at the top for the years? At least that way, users won't have to scroll too far down but click a link to jump to the year.
Or, maybe have collapsible rows for the years?
Just thinking how to make this work better - not a developer though.
Hi Vladimir,
unfortunately your wonderful plugin breaks the xhtml conformity. Please have a look at http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.smoochy.de/archiv . The issue seem to be in snazzy-archives.php line 514.
In addition would it be possible to add multi-language support to your plugin? In detail I would be interested in changing the abbreviations for the month names. Maybe this can be realised in the settings of snazzy archives, that there is a field, just like the years and their description, but for the months.
And maybe this multi-language support can be expanded to your SEO Comments plugin, too.
Thanks, smoochy
Hey smoochy, I noticed this too. I use the following patch to circumvent the problem. Just add the lines marked in cyan in the appropriate place in snazzy-archives.php.
(For bonus points you can generalise '2009' in that code with the year of your latest post!)
Hi pundit,
thanks for that hint, I added it and it works.
I'm glad it helped!
Vladimir: Could you add something similar to the plug-in code. I think this validation problem only shows up with XHTML 1.1 and not 1.0, but I am not sure.
Issue still persistent in 1.4. And the patch does not seem to work anymore
Hi Vladimir. I used your plugin one month, but after upgrade (wp or your plugin, can't be sure) have now problem if I use it. It make conflit with my template. In home page I have post "IN PRIMO PIANO" and 5 smoll clickable icons under. If your plugin is active home page show a column with all 6 latest post big like "IN PRIMO PIANO". Can u understand why? Thanx a lot. Gio
After upgrading the plugin, I get this error when viewing my archives page (which previously worked before the upgrade)
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_put_contents() in C:\inetpub\vhosts\courtneychesley.com\httpdocs\wp-content\plugins\snazzy-archives\snazzy-archives.php on line 445
This should be fixed with the latest update.
You need to adjust your php.ini settings on your host to this
allow_url_fopen = On
If you can't do this than ... I don't have a solution right now perhaps anyone else can help.
To me, it's the same :-(
I'm feeling dumb. I loaded the plugin, activated it, and pasted in [snazzy-archive] to the main Archives page where I'd like it to work. Nothing. Did I miss something? Thanks!
Disregard, I got it to work. Thanks!
Hi Vladimir, Finally an archive that looks how you want them to look like thanks.
Question: Is it possible to filter on cateories, for example addings category numbers in the command [snazzy-archive] like for example [snazzy-archive,3,6] showing only the posted items with categorynumber 2 en 6
Regards from Holland
Peter
Vladimir! I just wrote something similar in the Forum! This would be fantastic!!!
Regards from Munich, Peter
Vladimir! I just wrote something similar in the Forum! (I missed out the reference to Peter Poortinga above: Snazzy archives with Category implementation!)This would be fantastic!!!
Regards from Munich, Peter
HELLO! I moved and renamed the template to my themes folder per the tutorial on full screen rendering of the archives, which appears in my Page dialogue along with the Default. Choosing the Snazzy option renders a page with no archive, choosing Default shows the archive. The issue is wanting to preclude loading the sidebar. I'm about out of ideas for trouble-shooting the installation, so any help would be much appreciated. thanks!
@Vladimir Really? Thank you so much for the compliments :)
Okay I've included a screenshot here. Notice how the posts that I've drawn the question mark on have an extra gap that posts with the tick mark don't have. http://twitpic.com/9p6o7
I wanted to get rid of post excerpt entirely because I'm planning on adding lots of posts and excerpt will simply take up too much space, which is why I have removed the necessary codes from CSS and PHP file. Now only thing that's left for me to remove is that extra space so that posts marked with the question mark look like posts mark with the tick mark,
Once again thanks a million for making such an awesome plugin :)
I am afraid I didn't understand what you are trying to say. But you do have an excellent site, spent hours today browsing the articles :)
Hey Vladimir, first of all thanks for making this awesome plugin.
Secondly, I entirely wanna get rid of Post Excerpts. So far what I've done is remove the excerpt part of the code from CSS and php and it worked, like u can see here at http://gimliglider.com/archives-2/
The only problem that I haven't been able to get rid of is: Although the excerpts are now gone, which is what I wanted, the space inside which the excerpts were displayed still remains, leaving a blank space which makes it all look ugly. Let me explain a bit more.
If you click on July 07, u'll not see an exceprt because it doesn't have any. click on july 05 and it doesn't have excerpt either. but click on July 4 and u'll see the blank white space that I'm trying so hard to get rid of.
Any clue on this matter would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
I meant "...my server" not "...mu server"
Thanks for your response -- but I have tried re-installing, changing permissions, and voodoo.
Yet the archives will not collapse and the corners stay square no matter how I set the options.
Any idea why collapsing does not work -- do I need to have something special running on mu server? And the corners -- what would cause them to stay square? Can you give me some clues as to where to look? I have another site, on this same host, that works perfectly. I cannot find any different between the two, except the one that works uses WP2.7 and the one that does not uses WP2.8.
Thanks again for a great plugin -- I want it!
It works in 2.8 as you can see on my site.
Love your plugin -- but can't get it to work on WordPress 2.8. I had it working perfectly on 2.7. I even copied all the files from my 2.7 install to the 2.8 install -- no luck. The various months do not collapse and he corners do not round -- no matter what options I select in the admin menu.
Is this a bug or am I going nuts?
Hello,
I had installed your plugin and it worked fine, however, then I deactivated and deleted it to test server performance. Then I reinstalled, reactivated it and tried to set it up again. But now it failed!
All I see on my page is : [snazzy-archives] which is supposed to be the code to call the pretty pictures and archives. However, all I get is the actual line of code showing up and no pictures, no archives.
What happened? I set up all the settings right.
thanks for sharing (L)
great plug-in!
i would like to implement this into a gallery theme created by chris wallace, however, instead of using photo from the post entry, can i use someother photo in a custom field entry from the post? if so, anyone knows who?
cheers,
it's ok... i realized that you have changed collapsing option in order to save space... sorry for bothering... best... deborah
hi, vladamir! how are you?!
I just made an update to new wordpress version and my snazzy archive looks different now... i have to click every date in order to get the image out... could you please visit my site... snazzy archive is in upper menu, at the begging of my blog... thanx a lot... deborah
That plugin looks like a beauty, but I get the same error as José:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 68658 bytes) in /home/(........) /wp-content/plugins/snazzy-archives/snazzy-archives.php on line 209
What could the problem be?!
Installed Snazzy in a page and archives are showing but pictures in the posts are all cut up and in the middle of the title chopped up.
Sorry but I think I cried wolf too soon. Think I got it fixed.
Thanks
Installed Snazzy in a page and archives are showing but pictures in the posts are all cut up and in the middle of the title chopped up. Is there something I need to tweek?
I LOVE this plug-in. Is there any way to limit the archive by category? I'd like to create an archive of one category...Thanks!
Hi. I love to use your WP plug-in for my archive page, but I have a question.
I'm managing my website in Japanese language, and the language seems to cause your plug-in not to work properly.
The full-length articles are somehow on the archive page without quoting. If you have a suggestion for the solution, please let me know.
Sincerely
Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to list the posts in horizontal order instead of vertical order?
Jose,
You can find some information here:

hi, i want to implement this archive to my baby son's website as well, i want to make a full page archives but the theme that i am using is constraint to a fix dimension, if i use it as a template how can i avoid the size issue?
Wow! Very ell done. Beautiful! It doesn't get any better than this.
You can see my implementation here:

Thank you for this fancy archive-plugin!
Hi, I love the look of this archive plugin - but on my website the scrollbars are not visible, so it gets cut off. Do you have any suggestions?
Thank you
If it is premium I am sure they provide support for issues like this so you can contact them. As far as I know Snazzy Archives works on all WP installations.
Thesis is essentially a premium theme for Wordpress. Check out diythemes.com/thesis I really like the look of Snazzy but I just can't seem to get it to work. Also, I'm a coding noob so that may be it...
Any idea abou how this can be made to work with Thesis Vlad?
Any suggestions/recommendations for how to make this work best with the Thesis theme? It looks very charming and I'm curious for more info.
I have the same problem as Nash. How do I get Snazzy Archives to appear in my sidebar? Where do I put the extra code and what is the extra code?
Thanks,
-MJ
I really love the plugin and layout options, but for some reason i get a javascript error and it just runs really slow...
i'm using black colored theme and i found something weird. if i open my snazzy archive page with internet explorer, the header text (year, month and date) appears as white text while in firefox it turns into black. where did i go wrong? please be advise..
Hi Vladimir,
I've got your snazzy archives plugin working to a point but I was hoping to get the page to fill up right across. It seems like I can only get 3 months to show at a time. http://easy-renegade.com/archives/
I created a template like you instructed and that was good, I'm just wondering exactly which bit of code I need to alter to get the archives to show across the width of the page now.
Thanks for another awesome plugin.
Steve Anderson
Thank you, it's nice plugins.
Hello,
thanks for this great piece of work. Exact what I need.
My whishes:
1. Is it possible to get the Months translated (the archive is used by German users).
2. Is it possible (next version) to include / exclude categories?
3. Is it possible to get more than one archive. The use case:
- 1 Archive for Events (include categorie events)
- 1 Archive for the Rest (exclude categorie events)
Thanks and keep on this good work
Gernot from Germany
Hi Vlad,
What exactly do you mean by add the code to a post/page?
Suppose I want to add this plugin to my Archives Template how do I do it??
Aloha. Thanks so much for this beautiful plug-in. Really wonderful.
I have only one question. How can I better control the styling? The linespacing, and some of the Years in my archive are getting cutoff.
see >> http://synapticstimuli.com/visual-archive/
Any ideas?
Thanks again,
peace,

Hi,i have problems :the plugin offen breaks the webpage,and the imagines looks like fly out of the Internet Explorer7's workplace.
Excellent work on the plug-in! Unfortunately, for those of us with external image galleries, we miss out on a lot of the fun. Any planned solution for linked images. Even the ability to add manually would be a start.
I also agree with Ragabash above; adding a split year option would be great to avoid scrolling. Even better than a split year would probably be a maximum width parameter! :)
A great and unique plugin. Just what i was looking for, something to spice up my archive page. Thanks man.
This plugin is fantastic !
However, I wonder if there would be a way to improve the "Display Years in rows" option, by allowing to get a row from December to July, then a second row from June to January.
In many case, I think this could avoid having to scroll left and right.
Vladimire,
Odlican plugin! Pozdrav
Vladimir,
Is there a way to exclude categories? I've tried using "if (in_category('5')) continue; " but it doesn't seem to work. Any Ideas?
great! it works perfectly now!
I'm pretty fine now..but just to annoy you a bit more.. :P
what if I'd like to show "toggle" links on top? still using carousel..but I did not find any option the enable them or not.
just curious.. ;)
thank u so much for your great job..I think I'm going to donate!
You have to edit .js file as well, for carousel width change to take place.
All this is stuff is outstanding man...
But I have a strange problem of width using carousel effect.
the sz_carousel div keep the width fixed to something link 464px (don't know where it takes it)..but adding a different width on the .css file it does not change.
(not using any effect it perfectly fit to my page width..around 850px)
what's wrong?! thx
Andrea
My good sir, this kicks ass. :)
help. when i test this plugin on localhost it worked well,but when i uploaded it and installed on the website,it didn't work well for me,
this is the page i place [snazzy-archive]:thanks for help
Thanks for the tip!
Discovered a typo on line 22 of the style sheet when I validated my site's CSS:
.sz_page Property bacground-color doesn't exist : #ffffef
Wow! Really cool plugin! I'm interested in using this, but trying to modify it to work with a slightly different WordPress setup I have... See, every post has a thumbnail with it, however I see this plugin looks for an image within the post itself. How can I set the plugin to look for the image in a "custom field" that is set with each post? Any ideas or suggestions would be awesome! Thanks!
Is this compatible with the wordpress k2 theme? Thanks
Hi! Thx for the pluggin. It's owesome ^^
Excellent plugin!
Update to version 1.2 which now allows two more special effects
Hi,
I've just posted an article about my archive template page which uses your Snazzy Archives plugin if it is installed: http://www.wwangle.com/blog/2009/a-wordpress-index-page-template/
Thanks again for making this available.
Samantha
I'm trying to get your archive plugin working on my site, I'm really excited about it.
For some reason the plugin is just breaking the archive page. All I have on the archive page is the [snazzy-archive] code and the page breaks there somehow.
Any ideas?
http://blog.iamnotashamed.net/archives/
awesome job, you should make more tumblr-inspired plugins!!
smart tube is great too. thanks so much.
I've just coded my own index/archives page template and used your great plugin to allow to display either a regular list or your visualisation instead. You can see it at http://www.wwangle.com/blog/index/.
Thanks for sharing this plugin. It works great!
Sorry, another question! Is there any way for Snazzy Archives to be tied to the category archives instead of the archives for the entire site? I've started a WordPress forum topic on what I want to do (link below), and while I don't mind playing around with the WP loop, if Snazzy Archives would do this that would be fantastic.
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/230199?replies=6#post-942636
Thank you for creating such an incredible plugin Vladimir!
Oh wait... I just saw it listed in the official WP 2.7 plugin compatibility list. Thanks very much! I'm excited to see if it will work with my blog.
Amazing plugin! Is is this newest version compatible with WP 2.7?
Hello,
I'm more or less reiterating a question from back in July made by David Markland. I'm wondering, is it possible to organize the archives by week? This is the most ideal way to organize my site as we release weekly issues. Is this at all possible?
Thanks!
Tyler Hauser
Just learned that I am not allowed to post code here ;-)
Makes it it sort of difficult to describe the problem - hmm...
Thank you
Kosta
Hi Vladimir,
I use qtranslate heavily on my blog. Somehow I can see the plugin working like it should but I have the below code showing up also.
Also the code is covering half of the pictures.
Any idea what the problem is ?
Thank you

Hello Vladimir!
Great plugin! I used it in the website of our school. However, your php code does not validate on an xhtml1.0 strict doctype. I used the W3C validator (validator.w3.org). It gets an error in between the tags starting at line 376 of snazzy-archive.php file. I copied your file in Dreamweaver so that's where I got the line code number.
I believe if using the transitional, it would validate. But my site uses the xhtml1.0 strict. So I have to make some adjustments. Strict type does not allow an empty tags. So I simply put after the tag and added another at line 463. It worked!
The website that I am working on is:
MCCID College
My News Archive page is:
http://www.mccid.edu.ph/news-archives
I also used HTMLHelp Validator to check my site. Here is the link.
http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/validate.cgi?url=http://www.mccid.edu.ph/news-archives&warnings=yes
Hope this helps. Thanks!
Jojo
great job... i hav to modify one thing.. i dont want display the images.. i want display only texts.. what to do?
You're the best. THANKS A TON!!!
Vladimir,
Great work here! It is the only archive plugin I could find which would show both posts and pages.
However, all of my posts and pages are listed but no images show. I have images in all my posts and pages, but nothing are appearing.
http://onewalrus-ink.org/blog/archives/
Any idea why?
Karen thanks for that revelation :)
Yes!!! I got it. For all you having trouble, make sure your server is not running in SAFEMODE (you may need to call your host). Yipeee! Finally.
Hmmm... Interesting. Oh! I know, start deactivating plugins. Start with the ones that use jQuery. Take the time to do this one plugin at a time, and reload or revisit the site. See if that helps.
Most problems are dued to templates, not the plugin. I personally sorted my own, thanks to some php editing. Deisng view worked for me.
Tried both Michelle.
"For those having trouble getting the plugin to show up, are you using HTML view or design view? If I remember correctly, you need to go in HTML view to get it to work."
For those having trouble getting the plugin to show up, are you using HTML view or design view? If I remember correctly, you need to go in HTML view to get it to work.
Thanks Vladmimir. I have activated the plug-in, created the new page with the required [snazzy-archive] and even played with the options, but nada. As soon as the page loads the spot where the [snazzy-archive] was inserted, the page breaks and doesn't load any of the rest of the page-code. I have tried different themes, so I don't think it is my template. Maybe server settings? I don't know.
... ok. i must be stupid ;-)
what about a small hint ... please... :-)
At the moment it's not officially supported but the code is there you need to enable it :)
To all that did not manage to run snazzy archives, you only need to create a new page and insert [snazzy-archive] to the post, publish and that's it.
hi,
really great work!
is it possible to activate the
"Special FX 2 jQuert Space - still experimental, rotating post cloud" in some way ... or am I just too stupid ;-)
anyway thanks a lot!
I tried this again and just to make sure it wasn't my theme, I tried with kubrick and wordpress classic. No luck on either front. The PHP in snazzy-archives.php looks better though, so I have no idea why I cannot make this work. Bummer.
I was showing off the results of this plugin on my diet site and have had no problems with it. It really makes the page look great.
I was trying to install it on another site but had no success, I know it has to do with the template so I will probably experiment with other templates.
The way it brings out the posts is very impressive and it makes the Archive Page stand out.
I have Albeo as a template.
I used the snazzy.php template but the sidebar keeps loading :(
What can I do?
I cant find any solution to this...because the snazzy template should be enough to suppress the sidebar...but it doesnt work!
Using latest v1.0.1. It works fine on my blog, except when I enable "Use Snazzy Cache". In the plugin options page, I see this text: "Your wp-content folder is writeable by WordPress. You may use the cache."
However, if I check the "Use Snazzy Cache" box, nothing appears on the archives page except for the navigation buttons, even after refresh.
I really need cache function as the current load time of my archives page is quite long (lots of images)... which makes use of the plugin not realistic for my case.
Anyway, thanks for this fantastic plugin. It's really quite... super.
Still no luck here. Same as before :(
Released version 1.0.1 with an added security fix. Please try that.
I think it is probably a problem with this newest release from Nov. 22. Hopefully Vladimir will look into it.
Karen, If you find out how to do it work, please let me know. I have the same issue here.
I am unable to get this to work. The code breaks the page as soon as it tries to load snazzy archives. I looked at snazzy-archives.php and it looks like there is a missing }, " or ; (I am no PHP expert). I can see on about line 99 after the script where it quits reading as PHP. I owuld LOVE to use this, but I am stuck.
Hi, Im unable to use this plugin and I really want to. The page created for mi archive stops the load of the rest of the page at the title of the same, and nothing is showed. Any help will be appreciated. Regards and thanks in advance.
Argh sorry I keep clicking send before I think of everything I want to ask, can it exclude categories too? For example only show archives from category 1?
Oh I see it has to be in a post or page. Is there any way to insert it as a widget or into my sidebar?
I'm confused as to how to implement it. I just get some text saying [snazzy-archive] on my page. How do I activate it?
А вы можете сделать хелп на русском языке , а то у меня с англиским засада =(
very nice plugin, would love to see a sidebar widget with this!
Snazzy Archives v1.0 is out and better than ever!
- Added caching
- Added option to load images
- Added option to specify page id, so the scripts load only that page
Enjoy :)
Snazzy Archives is fantastic - very eyecatching and attractive for visitors.
Tremendous archives pluggage.
Best archives I've seen. Great job.
Thanks,
James

This is really a nice plugin.. thanx for sharing...
@valerie - PS you can see the plugin on my test page ;)
Hi! First, I am really glad I found your plugin. It looks really cool. However I have no idea how you did what you did, my knowledge of php is not great (yet..) and so I don't know how to change the plugin to fit my needs.
What I really want, is to show only part of this on my blog's homepage; just the last month, preferably in a confined space (a div with many divs- or more precise; more like a calendar layout and it would be even greater f I could have empty spaces for days without posts) The whole thing, also preferably confined in another layou, would be on a different page.
Anyway, as I said, I don't know how you did this, maybe it's possible to adapt it to what I'm looking for, maybe it's not, maybe you don't want it to be altered like that at all! However if you could help me out, point me in th right direction or just tell me what you think, it would be very much appreciated.
I'm happy with image resize mode:)
Hi.
I'm using v0.6.1 of Snazzy and when using IE7 the vertical scrollbar is shown in a not to attractive way. I read more than me have had this problem but I haven't found any way to fix it. Any suggestions?
Very nice plugin by the way, I hope you can fix the problem since i really would like to use in on my site.
Have a nice weekend.
First, i love this plugin, many things for all the work you put into it for us to use!!! One question, is it possible to change the font types and colors of the year, month, date, and quote? I've been looking at the code and i can't figure it out. i'm no expert of coding but i can usually figure it out eventually, i've been looking and i can't find anything though...please help?
@Morten Skogly - Thanks for the fix. Regarding the problem you can always try temporary disabling other plugins and seeing if it works or not.
@Myrko | AwakeBlogger - Unfortunately not
Love the plugin, will probably use it EVERYWHERE.
But found some issues, first a minute one, the css has a small bug,
.sz_page {
bacground-color: #ffffef;
}
should be background, not bacground of course.
The second issue is stranger, I can't get it to work on http://pappmaskin.no/archives/, and I am beginning to thing it has to do with the number of posts perhaps? It could be something else of course, but I am running the same theme on http://poetikon.no/arkiv which works well. Or perhaps it collide with some other plugin? Or are there known issues in connection with wordpress version?
I couldnt find anything in the forum.
Great plugin I tried it on one of my blogs. I was wondering can you use it as a post (not page) where you can write some promo articles for exploring your site and then have the plugin work on that particular post also.
It would seem to be a good way to promote links to all your posts on that post.
Many times we don't want to index archive because of duplicate problems with google but since this creates icons and a little excerpt, it could eliminate that issue.
I love the plugin, I'm having some problems with it though. If you look at my site (I've submitted it with my comment), and click on archives, you'll see that the items that should be hidden after the scrollbar keep showing up. It does this in IE7.
Any ideas
Darren
Bonjour,
I understood why from time to time my snazzy archives does not display any more.
I chose the Carousel option.
When I publish a new article, the snazzy archives disappear; the page is blank.
If I return to option 0, the snazzy archives are displayed again… But impossible to return to Carousel display.
Thanks for your help.
Christine
It's a great plugin and a great idea. Here is one idea that could really improve the outlook of the archive page:
Is it somehow possible to select the area of the image that is displayed? The random are sometimes completely misses the spot of a picture, i.e. http://www.awakeblogger.com/archive/ ?
Alternative it would be interesting not to choose a spot but as much of the picture as possible!?
Vlad,
Boy is my face red. I could have sworn I did it that way in the past, so I failed to read your instructions in detail. Got it all sorted out now. Appreciate your eternal patience.
Thank you for your quick response. I am looking forward to the =20
version 0.6.1, with great interest.
Cordially,
Christine
Heather, Snazzy Archives is never shown in Widgets page. In order to use it you need to put [snazzy-archive] code in one of your pages.
Hi Vlad,
Thanks again for creating such awesome tools and sharing them with us.
Ever since I changed to WP 2.6.2 I haven't been able see Snazzy Archives on my Design->Widget page. It shows up in Settings, however.
I've tried updating, and uninstalling/reinstalling version 0.6.1. I wonder if I am the only one having this problem?
Take care & have a wonderful weekend!
Bonjour Christine
I apologize for everyone who downloaded 0.6, there has been a problem with displaying archives and should be fixed now in 0.6.1. I hope you will love the new years in rows feature (Thanks Jorge once again! :)
Bonjour,
With Snazzy Files 0.6, the archives do not appear any more on my page... I reinstalled the previous version.
This plugin is brilliant!
I devote an article here to him :
http://liseweb.fr/BLOG/installer-snazzy-archives-plugin-pour-des-archives-qui-jazzent
Thanks a lot for Snazzy Archives.
Christine
I LOOOOVE this idea.. but I was thinking about the width of the pages especially when you have blogs spanning more than 2 years.
You have your snazzy archives in horizontal.... I was wondering... would it be possible to make that into a vertical instead of horizontal? (So that it scrolls up and down without ever scrolling horizontal.)
Just a thought...
Hi, thanks for the great plugin!!
I just upgraded (auto-upgrade via WP), and I find that the mini mode is not working. What could be the problem? I'm still on WP 2.6.
Thanks in advance!
--decrypt
Oops. I meant to say the "...time wasn't bad..." in my previous comment. Sorry about that.
Hi -
The css for the rest of my site specifies a dotted line as a background for links.
Trying to get rid of them in snazzy archives.
Tried background:none on several elements within the snazzy css but the dotted line was not removed.
Any ideas?
Thank you -
Wendi
innerstellarmedium.com
another awesome plugin :D Simply love the trransitions!
And yet another Thumbs Up :D
An excellent idea for jazzing up the Archives page. Only one problem I found when I installed it on my 3 year old blog. Once setup I navigated to my Archives page and checked the source code for the number of queries made (usually it's around 13 to 14 queries in .5 to .6 seconds for any given post or page and I'm using your Amazing Grace theme BTW). I was a bit shocked when I saw 1394 queries. The time was bad but that's a bit too many queries for my taste. Too bad, I thought this would be a nice addition to the makeover of my old personal site.
I really like your work overall though. First class stuff.
It's a great plugin. Congrats!
I'm changing a little to don't show some images (for example, I have a movie review blog and the first images in a post is a "star", so I don't want to show "stars" in the archive page but the movie poster image).
I'm a little stuck (I'm not a PHP developer, but I know my stuff in other languages so I have the idea) and now I'm not showing the stars but didn't show any image either hehe.
I will inform you if i have sucsess in this change
$position = 1;
while (!$end && $imageurl) :
if ( strstr($imageurl,"favstar.gif") ){
$imageurl=$matches[$position++];
}else{
$end = true;
}
endwhile;
Thanks sister :)
Hey VLAD,
This darn plugin is wayy soo cool. Thank you so much for your hard work.
I LOVE IT! Dayum. You php folks ROCK!
This is the most amazing archives-plugin I've seen so far! It's perfect for my use! THANK YOU! :D
I was wondering if there's any way to make a similiar plugin to display posts from a chosen category, such as "photos" ? It would be PERFECT to use as a simple gallery for photobloggers!
That's a little trick - a simple text widget with a link and an image for the link - you may look at the page source.
How do i place it in the side bar as you have done here? Love the plugin - great work!
this looks fantastic. am in the process of revamping and this has definitely caught my eye. nice work!!
Thanks for your kind comments.
Yes you can select different layouts in Snazzy archives options in your wordpress admin menu.
The demo of snazzy archives is available at http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/archive-spec
What an AWESOME plugin! Just installing it transformed my archives page. Your website is beautiful too.
I'm quite new to Wordpress, CSS, php, all of it. Could you just help me? I know you say that different layouts are stored in files snazzy-layout-1.php, snazzy-layout-2.php etc., but where/how do I actually select which layout is used? And is there a place where we can see the different layout examples at all?
Thanks so much for your work on this - I really love it.
David: Yes, change the browser. IE was never meant to render anything more complicated then Microsoft Homepage.
Massa, Craig: Thanks so much.
Hi,
I have to congratulate you on your plugin, I love it. I have been looking around for ages for something that would make my archives page be unique to most boring ones.
And I came across yours, and instantly loved it. I am implementing it as we speak, and love it.
Well done on the hard work in doing this plugin, and I thank you loads, infact I am going to advertise it on my blog saying how good this plugin really is.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the IE fix. Reactivated - no more script error. :) Love, love, love this plugin. I will recommend it to others (via my blog) when I return from my 4-month blog hiatus.
Hi Vladimir. Thanks for the updates. It still doesn't work quite right with IE7. I selected the first demo and the first thing I noticed was that my cursor was flashing between arrow and the wait cursor (IE7 on Windows Vista). It does this even after the page is fully loaded whenever the cursor is over the page.
The second thing I noticed was that when click on a day to close it and then click on it again to open it (I just selected the first one on the left - 19) it displays the result too high which covers the month name and day number. If I click on another number in that same column (e.g. 18) it fixes itself but then when I click on the second number again that one gets displayed at the top covering the month name and day number.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
David
IE issues are fixed in the new version 0.5. Also the output has been made full xHTML compliant.
Hi,
I got it to work ("Carousel effect") in Firefox 2 & 3 on my blog:
http://fruityoaty.com/archives/
However, in Internet Explorer 7.0 (specifically, I tested in
ver. 7.0.5730.13), only a script error and Carousel arrows left/right arrows appear... but nothing else.
This problem also "SEEMS" to exist on your blog (the Carousel demo). I tested this demo page under IE:
http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/archive-spec?layout=1&fx=1
What resulted is this script error on your blog:
Line: 24
Char: 5
Error: Expected indentifier, string or number
Code: 0
URL: http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/archive-spec?layout=1&fx=1
Could you pretty please look into this issue? I totally LOVE this plugin, but if I can't get it to work in IE7... unfortunately, I'll have to say goodbye to it. :(
Thanks for any help given.
I don't plan on to releasing special fx2 and fx3 publicly yet as it is difficult to configure for newbies. But I'll tell you this: the code for fx2 and fx3 is already implemented in the public version of snazzy archives - you just need to enable it :)
I very VERY like "Special FX 3 Flash Space" effect. Can you share it? I will be your beta-tester_
Thank you so much for this one!! You are a genius!
This is one cool plugin .. but I have over 1200 posts and the page takes forever to load - is there any way to make this plugin use paging?? :)
Thx JK
This is a-m-a-z-i-n-g, look at my page under SURPRISE! (top nav)
Many thanks from Austria

hi, vladimir!
many TNX for this amazing plugin... it's a great tool...
your site is a great resource for WP junkiez...
keep the good work...
best!
Let's take all plugin questions and discussions into the newly opened support forums: http://www.prelovac.com/vladimir/forum
Another note, on v2.6 your plugin breaks the plugin "Wordpress Admin Bar".
Bummer because I have to choose function over form and abandon snazzy until this is fixed.
Pablo
Hello,
This is a great plugin Vladamir! It is good to have the choices of layouts. However, I have one difficulty on one of my WP sites where I have all content nested in the "post-tabs" plugin. Your plugin does not look beyond the [tab] call for images, but includes the "[tab}" code in the archive. Is thare any way around this. The same is true if a person is using the "insert more" / "split" tag.
Thank you,
Pablo
hi. Thanks for plugin
perfect.
Regards
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!
I love this plugin! When I switch to carousel mode, The buttons at the top cover part of the year. Is it possible to move the year down a line or two?
Thanks for the patch. Nice site!
Great plugin! One small tweak I added so that it only queried certain posts when limiting by month/tag/author/whatever:
(snazzy-archives.php):
if (is_category() || is_tag() || is_day() || is_month() || is_year()) {global $posts;
} else {
$query="SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_status = 'publish' AND post_password = '' AND post_type IN ($types) ORDER BY post_date_gmt DESC ";
$posts = $wpdb->get_results($query);
}
That way if there's a limitation it will use the $posts array, if not it will query all--
Great job on this!
Hi,
I tried you plugin on a WPMU blog (multiple user version of WP) but activating the plugin brings up the message 'Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.' The strange thing is that I cannot find any related messages in the server error log, so I have no clue as to what is causing this.
Any ideas? It would be a GREAT plugin to make compatible with WPMU :)
--ravan
I will release an update for the plugin when I am back from vacation :)
In the meantime if you like the plugin you can vote for Snazzy Archives in the WordPress plugin competition: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/pluginblog/2008/07/10/snazzy-archives-2/
I have a lot of blank space at the bottom of the page. Is there any way to get a scroll bar at the top of the page rather than or in addition to at the bottom?
Thanks!
Love the plugin but I can't get it going on my site because I can't filter out specific categories. Not sure if that will help my script timeout but it might help, I have a few years of posts.
Thanks.
here is a special question for you :-)
can this plugin somehow be used in the tag.php template file?
I would like to use the nice display of posts for the tag template, meaning when someone clicks on a tag, I want him to see the nice layout of this plugin just for posts containing that tag and the sorting by date is perfect :-)
Very cool plugin! This is a fabulous idea. The JavaScript doesn't work very well in IE7, though. When I click on the day on your Archives page it doesn't do anything. Works fine in FF2. Have you seen this? Is this something you hope to fix?
Thanks,
David
Heh. Don't have anything interesting for the year phrases? Try these:
2005#The Year of the Rooster
2006#The Year of the Dog
2007#The Year of the Pig
2008#The Year of the Rat
2009#The Year of the Ox
2010#The Year of the Tiger
2011#The Year of the Hare
2012#The Year of the Dragon
2013#The Year of the Snake
2014#The Year of the Horse
2015#The Year of the Sheep
2016#The Year of the Monkey
Animals from the Chinese Zodiac. :)
Awesome feature... where's your donate button? I'd easily toss $5 your way for this (not a lot, but I'm a cheap ass).
The blog I'm using this on is mostly utilized two months a year - is there any way to columnize this by week, and not just by month?
Keep rockin!
Well done Otto, nice find.
Minor little patch that you might consider putting in:
If you change this bit:
$youtubeurl=$matches2[0];
if ($youtubeurl)
$imageurl=$this->plugin_url.'/i/video.png';
into this instead:
$youtubeurl=$matches2[0];
if ($youtubeurl)
$imageurl="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/{$matches2[3]}/0.jpg";
Then you'll get the thumbnail images of your YouTube videos showing up in the archives instead of that default "YouTube" graphic.
vlad,
i liked your archives plugin, and it is very useful as it gives a snapshot of the posts in the blog, and a user can easily decide which to view.
however, i would like to tell you that the archives display protected posts as well! it would be good if those posts are not displayed in the archives.
ciao,
roxy
i want to say i would like to change the name (translation in french) even myself
if could change name of month it will be perfect !!!
Very cool plugin!
I just have one suggestion to make, can you make the number of visible elements in the Carousel an option? Fixing it at 3 may be too narrow for some people.
I liked your theme so much I am using it now myself. I will be changing it so that it's not too much like yours, but am very new to this game so please give me a little time. I also love the Snazzy Archives plug-in, but can't seem to get it working. I have activated it in the plug-ins area, but can't seem to figure out what to do next. Thank you for any help you can give and I apologize in advance for the noob question.
Thanks again for your amazing work and allowing us to use it as well!
Is there any way to make the plugin show images, where the url is in a custom field?
What a great idea. Does it enhance or detract from SEO of archive pages?
I have just posted latest version v0.3 where you can select to display posts and/or pages.
There will be an option in the new version to select posts, pages or both ;)
Rudy: It doesnt work for me in ff3 on your page as well, but in IE7.. it's just beautiful isn't :) oops.. you have extra float:left in your #header_img remove it and it will be fine...
Iva; hvala ti puno!
Great plugin, Vlad. Just awesome!
I do have problems with it though. I can't view the snazzy archive page on FF3, but I can view it on IE7 (with Javascript errors). I'm using the full screen php template you suggested in your FAQ. Is my theme getting in the way?
My snazzy page is http://www.amid.com/werd/snazzy/
I ja se slažem sa Ottom i Leanne, definitivno bi bilo bolje da je samo za blog, a ne i za stranice. I držim palčeve na takmičenju!
2.5.1 install, unfortuntely, absolutely nothing shows on my archives page !–snazzy-archive– is in the source
The archives page also shows Pages instead of just my Posts. You should limit it to only show Posts, as Pages don't conceptually have a date/time on them.
Easy fix, just add AND post_type = 'post' to the query.
Can you maybe tell me why not all of my images show on my archive page, it says 'image not found' while other images show perfectly. What can i do to resolve this problem. BTW i love your theme and snazzy archives is just beautiful (if all my images will load)

lol, what ever rocks your boat :)
mmm I wasn't v. clear was I? Thinking about it I probably couldn't do that anyway. It might also look nice as a categories page if that was possible.
Leanne :)
thanks :)
What do you mean by just for posts?
I love this too much for my archives page can I use it just for posts?
thanks
Hope you win!
