WordPress archive plugins can help you build a better archive page or archive widget. These six plugins will help your WordPress Blog do just that. Below I go through each plugin and tell you what each one will do.
WordPress Archive Plugins
Clean Archives Reloaded – Clean Archives Reloaded generates a list of all of your posts, sorted by month. It’s enhanced with Javascript to allow collapsing and expanding of months.
Flexo Archives Widget – The Flexo Archives Widget displays your archives as a list of years that expands when clicked (thanks to some JavaScript magic) to show the months with posts. You also have the option of displaying the number of posts in each month.
Collapsing Archives – This is a relatively simple plugin that uses Javascript to make the Archive links in the sidebar collapsable by year, and/or month.
Compact Archives – Displays the monthly archive of posts in a more compact form than the usual long list.
Noindex nofollow archives – This plugin adds rel=”noindex,nofollow” to archive links.
Smarter Archives – This plugin provides you with a template tag for your archives page, which presents navigating the archives in a unique way. It has a row for each year with posts, and every month in that year with posts has a link to the month.
Those are the six best WordPress archive plugins that I could find. Some are similar to one another and some are completely different. They all had little things that are different about them so you will just have to find out which archive plugin you’ll liked best for your WordPress Blog.

Hmmm. I think I’m going to try out the ‘Clean Archives’ plugin. It’ll make my archives more manageable… right now, I just have my archives on separate pages…. Nice list.
I’m already using the clean archives plugin. I’m quite happy with it. It’s clean and neatly organized. Can’t go wrong with this one.

Im using the clean archives plugin at the moment, I tried a few other ones but this one seems to work the best with my setup. I like that compact archives one, sorta reminds me of ProBloggers archives.
Clean archives is mine as well. Plus the AIO SEO plugin takes care of the ”noindex,nofollow” to archive links issue.
I think if I’m getting right (and going by the thesis theme too) certain blog themes rank better in search engines only because of the indexation? If I mod my own blog to have the indexation (rel no follow stuff) I should be good?
Looks like a lot of you are recommending on clean archives. I think I should grab that and installed on mine as well. Thanks for the share on this list.
Thanks so much for this list — will go check out these plugins now. They seem to be exactly what I need!
God bless!
