<p>The Clean My Archives plugin was developed because so many archives plugins were overly complicated.  I wanted something extremely simple to use that simply got the job done on my own <a href="http://justintadlock.com/archives" rel="nofollow ugc">site’s archives</a>.</p>
<p>Therefore, I created a simple <code>[clean-my-archives]</code> shortcode that you can place on any page (or any shortcode-ready area) and list your post archives by month and year.</p>
<p>This plugin also integrates with WordPress caching plugins.  So, long lists of archives can be cached for later use and loaded quickly.  If you have many years of blog posts, I highly recommend some sort of persistent caching or paginating your archives (see FAQ).</p>
<h3>Professional Support</h3>

<h3>Plugin Development</h3>
<p>If you’re a theme author, plugin author, or just a code hobbyist, you can follow the development of this plugin on it’s <a href="https://github.com/justintadlock/clean-my-archives" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub repository</a>.</p>
<h3>Donations</h3>
<p>Yes, I do accept donations.  If you want to donate, you can do so from my <a href="https://themehybrid.com/donate" rel="nofollow ugc">donations page</a> or grab me something from my <a href="http://a.co/flUb0ns" rel="nofollow ugc">Amazon Wish List</a>.</p>
<p>I appreciate all donations, no matter the size.  Further development of this plugin is not contingent on donations, but they are always a nice incentive.</p>
