  New to WordPress, and bringing over journals from elsewhere, I have discovered that the Archive Widget does not include all years. Particularly those prior to 2008, while I have entries back to 2006.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Are the posts that are missing from the Archive widget found in the dashboard > Posts > All Posts?

  Yes, they are showing in ‘all posts’ and they are readable in their proper time order.

  Thanks for the confirmation. I have flagged this thread for Staff attention.

  Your oldest Public blog entry was September 23, 2008. The rest are marked as Private.

  I have another blog that is private, and all entries still appear in the archive drop down. Why is that different?

  Because the blog itself is private. The post status is public, but the entire blog itself is hidden as private.

  I have now changed this blog to private; the older posts still do not appear in the archive.

  This is not a major inconvenience for me, but thought someone would want to fix it for others.

  Now that the whole blog is Private, you need to switch those posts to being published publicly.

  Only publicly published posts will appear in the Archives, regardless of overall blog privacy.
