Overview
The Clean My Archives plugin was developed because so many archives plugins were overly complicated. I wanted something extremely simple to use that simply got the job done on my own site’s archives.
Therefore, I created a simple [clean-my-archives] shortcode that you can place on any page (or any shortcode-ready area) and list your post archives by month and year.
This plugin also integrates with WordPress caching plugins. So, long lists of archives can be cached for later use and loaded quickly. If you have many years of blog posts, I highly recommend some sort of persistent caching or paginating your archives (see FAQ).
