From the developer
scribu's own description of Smart Archives Reloaded, lightly tidied.
Smart Archives Reloaded allows you to display a list of posts grouped by year and month. It also provides several interesting navigation elements.
Format list:
- list = a list of posts grouped by month
- block = a compact block of links to year and date archive pages
- menu = a two-level menu with links to year and date archive pages
- both = block + list (example)
- fancy = menu + list + JavaScript (example)
No support
I do not offer support for this plugin, either free or paid.
