Description
After activating the plugin, you will have two new template tags at your disposal:
<?php previous_archive_link( 'format', 'link' ); ?>
<?php next_archive_link( 'format', 'link' ); ?>
They adapt their output depending on whether the date archive is a day, a month,
or a year, and they will only output a link for an adjacent time period in which you
have published posts. Both tags take two string parameters, format and link.
The format parameter defines what comes before and after the link. In it, %link
will be replaced with whatever is declared in the link parameter below. previous_archive_link
defaults to “« %link
” and next_archive_link
defaults to “%link »
“.
The link parameter defines the link text. Both tags default to “%date
“, the
adjacent archive page’s localized date.

FAQ
- How do I make my date archives show all posts for that time period in chronological order, rather than just 10 at a time?
-
Just add
query_posts($query_string . '&showposts=1000&order=asc');
to the archive.php template right under the header call.
