   Ok, I apologize, but this time you stumped me. I read the post, looked at the links and I still am not sure what this is, or what purpose it serves. I can see how looking up all posts on a subject, tag or category would be very useful, but it seems like you are offering us the ability to stick our entire archive or segments of it, by date, into a post. And if I’ve got that right, I just dont get the use.

  Before this shortcode, there was no easy way for our bloggers to simply display an archive index of their blog posts (which we received numerous requests for in the past). As such, a customized archive listing of your blog posts is the aim of this feature. If you heavily segment your blog posts via categories or tags, perhaps this is not the greatest thing in the world for your blog, and that’s okay. We’re receiving some decent feedback on the feature, however, and may tweak it in the future to include some more capabilities.

   This is a nice feature, and I’m using it already.
   It might be nice in the future though to do something like archive by categories or to clean up the category widget in the sidebar, since for me and some, the number of categories tend to increase beyond control after blogging for a while. I really would love to see a collapsing category feature that only reveals child categories upon clicking. (Did that make sense?) Something like that would be nice for archives too, simply because the drop down is fugly.

   Still I love archive shortcode and a number of other amazing features. Keep up the good work.

   I’m another one who will probably use this when I am able to create archives for tags or categories. Look forward to this.

    Please add the option to show only one/some category. I have many articles on my blog but some are featured and I would welcome a page to show only those.

    Also by tag would be nice.

    Very handy – thanks again WP! One thing on my wishlist is to have an alphabetical sort so that you can do an A-Z index by title of posting. Now that would be doubly cool

    Thanx this’ll really helps 🙂

    I agree with Milo. For me, this feature would be better if we could maybe archive related posts. That way we could show the archives within the same mother category.

    Great feature!!! Thanks heaps WP!! xD

    Its gonna be much much much better if we can also use archives shortcodes to browse posts by categories 🙂

    Is it possible to have archives ordered by month then into the month the post list?
• Sheri Aug 13th at 12:15 pm

  You can have a list of months or a list of post titles, but you can’t display both at the same time. Check out the archives shortcode customization options shown on the help page.

    I think I’ll use this. Thanks for ever improving WordPress applications/widgets to make blogging easier. Thank you.

    Thank — it’s a great feature and I’m using it. I looked at all the options and a GREAT option would be a list of all the posts in alpha order.

    “I think it’d be better if there’s an option for “random” posts. ”

    I second that!!

    Nice feature, anyways!!
