Wordpress K2 Archives Page Template

I prefer not to use Extended Live Archives. Not that there is anything wrong with it. It's just my personal choice!

Here is another option for you to use with your K2 theme:

Step 1: Create a file called "page-archivesnew.php" in your K2 theme directory with the following code in it:

k2_no_js_archives.txt

Step 2: Create a new page in your Wordpress Admin called "Archives" and select the "Non Ajax Archives" page template for it.

Here is the css to achieve the column look like I have on my page. Keep in mind the code might need to be altered a little bit for your specific K2 scheme:

.it-categories ul {
width: 500px;
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px; }

.it-categories ul li a:hover {
color: #666666;
text-decoration: none; }

This template is also set up to use the "Popular Post" plugin by Alex King. For some reason his site seems to be down right now but if you download & activate the plugin after his site is back up, it should work seamlessly with this template.
