    Hi there! I’ve used this plugin for months and loved it… especially the caching to a .txt file aspect. :-) Is there any way that in a future release, you could have options to not only display the months, but also a tag cloud and maybe a category listing? These are already template tags in WordPress 2.7, but incorporating your caching technique along with the original plugin would be fantastic! Heh, just a suggestion if you’re ever bored.

    Thanks for the change to the option with anchor links in the block, works like a charm! // Jens.

    Simply extract to plugin directly and tried to enable and I get:

    “Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’in /home/war59312/public_html/wp-content/plugins/smart-archives-reloaded/smart-archives-reloaded.php on line 27″

    Running WP 2.7 on PHP4.

    Ouch!

    O.K tried 1.2 and it activated fine, but when I pull up wp-admin/options-general.php?page=smart-archives I get this error:

    Cannot load smart-archives.

    Work with WP 2.7?

      Nevermind. The URL wasn’t the problem. I think you’re better off using the original Smart Archives plugin. Sorry.

    So thanks anyhow..

    By the way perhaps you should check php version then..

    Here is an example function to do just that:

      That wouldn’t work all the time due to parser errors that may occur (which means the message won’t have the chance to be displayed). I think the best way is to let users know before they install it.

    Is there any way to improve the caching? Hourly is just not fast enough, especially considering how WordPress’s wp_get_archives function retrieves the posts immediately.

    Thanks for your plugin, but it doesn’t display accentuated characters correctly in month title (you can check on my blog here : http://www.tousenpirogue.com/archives/
