Norman Advanced Archive Widget is a free replacement for the standard WordPress archive widget. Norman Advanced Archive Widget has plenty of neat customization options available that the default archive widget is lacking, like the ability to group monthly archives by year and let them fold using JQuery.
Features:
- Option to limit display of archive by current category. Only the posts in the current category will be listed
- Option to group monthly archives by year
- JQuery powered fold to show and hide monthly archives in a year.
- Option to truncate month names or not.
- Option to show/hide archive count and the design option to decide if you want the count to be displayed inside the link or not.
