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>.
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.
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).
<h3>Professional Support</h3>
If you need professional plugin support from me, the plugin author, you can access the support forums at <a href="https://themehybrid.com/support" rel="nofollow ugc">Theme Hybrid</a>, which is a professional WordPress help/support site where I handle support for all my plugins and themes for a community of 75,000+ users (and growing).
<h3>Plugin Development</h3>
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>.
<h3>Donations</h3>
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>.
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.

WordPress doesn’t support date archives for custom post types out of the box. This plugin adds the rewrite rules needed to view the date archives at a <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/article/introduction-to-blogging/#pretty-permalinks" rel="ugc">pretty permalink</a>.
Example permalink (url) for a custom post type <code>events</code> date archive.
<pre><code>https://example.com/events/2015/06/12
</code></pre>
The calendar, archive and recent posts widget are similar to the existing WordPress widgets, but with extra (custom post type) options added.
The cpt date archives use the same theme template files as the normal WordPress date archives. Extra <a href="https://github.com/keesiemeijer/custom-post-type-date-archives/wiki/Theme-Template-Files" rel="nofollow ugc">template files</a> and <a href="https://github.com/keesiemeijer/custom-post-type-date-archives/wiki/Functions" rel="nofollow ugc">template functions</a> are available for use in the custom post type date archives.
