Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Simple Yearly Archive

Just use the filter sya_the_title. Example: Add the following to your theme's functions.php: add_filter( 'sya_the_title', 'my_sya_filter_title', 10, 2 ); function my_sya_filter_title( $title, $id ) { return $id . ' - ' . $title; }

Just use the filter sya_postlink. Example: Add the following to your theme's functions.php: add_filter( 'sya_postlink', 'sya_modify_postlinks', 10, 3 ); function sya_modify_postlinks( $link_html, $post ) { $dom = new DOMDocument(); $dom->loadHtml($link_html); $xpath = new DOMXPath($dom); $link = $xpath->query("//a")->item(0); $link_classes = explode(' ', $link->getAttribute('class')); $link_classes[] = 'postyear-' . $post->post_year; $link->setAttribute('class', implode(' ', $link_classes)); return $dom->saveHTML(); } This will add a CSS class with the post year to the post links.

Just use the filter sya_the_authors. Example: Add the following to your theme's functions.php: if( function_exists('get_coauthors') ) { add_filter( 'sya_the_authors', 'my_sya_filter_authors', 10, 2 ); function my_sya_filter_authors( $author, $post ) { $coauthors = get_coauthors( $post->ID ); $authorsCollection = array(); foreach( $coauthors as $coauthor ) { if( $coauthor->display_name ) { $authorsCollection[] = $coauthor->display_name; } } return implode(', ', $authorsCollection); } }

Just use the filter sya_categories. Example: Add the following to your theme's functions.php: function sya_child_categories( $sya_categories ) { return array_filter($sya_categories, function($v, $k) { return get_category( $k )->parent > 0; }, ARRAY_FILTER_USE_BOTH); } add_filter( 'sya_categories', 'sya_child_categories', 10, 3 );

Just use the filter sya_get_posts that allows you to query for literally anything using WP_Query parameters. Add the following snippets to your theme's functions.php.
