Like this: function my_archive() { ?> <div class="archive"> <div class="archivel"> <h3>By Category:</h3> <ul> <?php wp_list_categories('sort_column=name&title_li='); ?> </ul> <h3>By Month:</h3> <ul> <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?> </ul> </div> <div class="archiver"> Hi there,

To get the archive page to display in two columns, you need to change the custom_functions code to include the class names.

Like this:

function my_archive() {
?>
<div class=”archive”>
<div class=”archivel”>
<h3>By Category:</h3>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_categories(‘sort_column=name&title_li=’); ?>
</ul>

<h3>By Month:</h3>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly’); ?>
</ul>

</div>

<div class=”archiver”>

Gives me a more realistic/accurate outcome (I think). Okay, so no second column. Umm. Without seeing the code, or trying it 'live' I can't offer more suggestions. Take two aspirin and sleep on it ;-) for now. I have a second WordPress installation on my server and use Thesis and play ‘live’ but away from search engines’ reach.

Thanks for the awesomely fast response! Actually the reason you see nothing is I have been building it on local host and then updating my live site as I go. Since I'm a noobie I already screwed up the other day on the code and got that lovely Syntax Error message, so, I'm being much more careful now! :P I'm having a lot of fun though! So, I've gone ahead and pasted the code above into notepad and from there copied and pasted it into my functions and css file. All the info is coming up that's supposed to, just the 2 column bit isn't happening. Thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment! Hey Somone!

Try pasting the css in and saving again. You might want to check your custom_functions.php file to see that the code hasn't changed since pasting it. Sometimes some symbols come up differently. Did you include the posts part of the function and beyond? Let me know how you go. I checked out your custom.css file but it doesn’t seem to have anything in it.

This is a great toturial! Just what I'm looking for actually. But I am running into a bit of a roadblock. Just as Mathdelane was saying above, I can't seem to get it to display in 2 columns. My Recent 50 posts simply goes to the bottom. I pasted the code into notebad and carried copied it form there into my functions file. Any thoughts? Thank You for your help! -Lauren :) Hey Somone!
