Daily Tip: How To Display WordPress Archives in a Drop Down Menu

Sometimes you don’t want your archives taking up so much space in your sidebar or footer or elsewhere. Here’s a snippet that you can add anywhere in your template files to display a drop down menu of your archives in order to conserve space:

<select name=\"archive-dropdown\" onChange='document.location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;'>
<option value=\"\"><?php echo attribute_escape(__('Select Month')); ?></option>
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&amp;format=option&amp;show_post_count=1'); ?> </select>

This will produce a little something like what’s shown in the thumbnail above.
