For one project I was working on, there was a need to group a category’s postings by month and year. The List Category Posts plugin had all the features required, and by creating a template, I was able to display the information per the client’s request.

The template was based on the default.php template which comes with the plugin. Per the instructions in the plugin, the template files must be located in the list-category-posts folder under the theme’s folder.

Installation Instructions:

• Install the List Category Posts plugin
• Download the Month Year Grouping template zip file
• Extract the file month-year-grouping.php from the zip file
• Create the folder “list-category-posts” folder in your theme’s folder (wp-content/themes/your-theme-folder)
• Upload the month-year-grouping.php file to the new folder
