Hi, I am new to word press content management system, what are the ways to add archive for my word press theme. I go through many articles, but i can't get the exact result my friend is suggest to add your doubts in the digital forums there are many expert provide help or guide you to fix the problem. Thanks for sharing your valuable information.
Just go to admin area -> appearance -> widgets There is a widget located there called archives which you can drag over to your sidebar.
Then as suggested already you can use the widgets panel in your admin. Unless you are running an old theme its a good chance you already have dynamic sidebars - just drag and drop in the admin.
