<p>When you use the <code>[smarter-archives]</code> shortcode anywhere in a post or a page, it gets replaced by a listing of every year since you started posting, with a list of links to each month for that year. However, the plugin is smart enough to know if you didn’t create any content in any given month, and doesn’t make a link for that month. See the <strong>Screenshots</strong> section for an example of it in action.</p>
<p>See the <strong>Usage</strong> section for a complete list of the arguments the shortcode takes, and how you can use them to customize your archives listing.</p>
<p>The month names are <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/I18n_for_WordPress_Developers" rel="nofollow ugc">internationalized with the WordPress translation API</a>. A POT file is included, and if you want to translate please feel free to do so and <a href="https://github.com/robinadr/smarter-archives/pulls" rel="nofollow ugc">submit a new pull request</a> on GitHub. If you do not know how to use GitHub, you can also <a href="http://robinadr.com/contact" rel="nofollow ugc">contact me directly</a>. Here are the translations that have been done so far:</p>
<ul>
<li>Dutch (nl_NL)</li>
<li>French (fr_FR)</li>
<li>German (de_DE)</li>
<li>Italian (it_IT)</li>
<li>Spanish (es_ES)</li>
<li>Russian (ru_RU)</li>
</ul>
<p>The original concept for this plugin comes from a plugin by Justin Blanton.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>The <code>[smarter-archives]</code> shortcode takes these arguments (default values included):</p>
<ul>
<li><code>mode</code> (default: <code>output</code>) — if it’s set to <code>output</code>, the plugin prints the listing. Set it to <code>false</code> to return the value</li>
<li><code>wrapper_class</code> (default: <code>smart-archives</code>) — class given to the tag wrapped around the listing (<code><div></code> by default)</li>
<li><code>wrapper_tag</code> (default: <code>div</code>) — tag wrapped around the listing</li>
<li><code>year_link_class</code> (default: <code>year-link</code>) — class given to each year links</li>
<li><code>year_tag</code> (default: <code>p</code>) — tag around each year group</li>
<li><code>year_class</code> (default: none) — class for the tag around each year group</li>
<li><code>after_year</code> (default: <code>:</code>) — value after the year and before the list of months</li>
<li><code>month_link_class</code> (default: <code>month-link</code>) — class given to each month link</li>
<li><code>month_tag</code> (default: <code>span</code>) — tag around each month</li>
<li><code>after_month</code> (default: <code>&nbsp;</code>) — spacer between months</li>
<li><code>empty_month_class</code> (default: <code>empty-month</code>) — class applied to empty months (can use this to gray them out)</li>
<li><code>order</code> (default: <code>DESC</code>) — order the years are shown in (<code>ASC</code> for ascending, <code>DESC</code> for descending)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Advanced Usage</strong></p>
<p>There is a function, <code>get_smarter_archives()</code>, that returns the raw array with the years, months, and post counts. You can use this for ultimate customization.</p>
