Displays your archives as a compact list of years that expands when clicked.
As of April 2026, Flexo Archives is a WordPress archive plugin with 100 active installations and a 4/5 rating from 8 reviews. It has been downloaded 31K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 2.7+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2007. Last updated 14 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: Zippy.
This widget is designed to be a more compact alternative to the default archives widget supplied with WordPress. If you’ve been blogging regularly for several years, the archive list produced by the default widget grows to be quite long. If you use Flexo Archives instead, the list will be displayed as a much smaller list of years. When you click a year, it expands to show the months of that year when you posted. By default the expansion is animated.
A standalone version that simply prints the HTML for the archive lists and attaches the JavaScript to normal pages is now provided for users who cannot use the widget.
I am currently seeking translations of the plugin. If you would like to help by translating the plugin into your language, please post to the support forum.
Thanks to Dyla…
