#4567: wp_get_archivse pulling stuff from posts w/edited timestamps

 Priority:  normal     |   Milestone:           
Component:  General    |     Version:  2.2      
 Severity:  normal     |    Keywords:  archives 
-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------
 I'm overhauling an html site into Wordpress. Several of the 'articles' on
 the old site date back to 2002, 2003, etc., so I backdated those posts in
 order to correspond with their original publishing date. Currently there
 is only about 3 months of 'new' content this year, starting with March
 2007. (Old site was not updated very often.)

 Using
 {{{
 <?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&limit=12'); ?>
 }}}

 on my Archives page to get the past year's archives, but instead it pulls
 12 months, regardless of year, that I've posted so far.

 As a result, the output is:
 Archives by Month:
     * June 2007
     * March 2007
     * August 2006
     * September 2005
     * June 2005
     * August 2004
     * September 2003
     * September 2001
     * September 2000

 When I really want it to be:
     * June 2007
     * March 2007
 [eventually, this list will grow into July 2007, August 2007 as the months
 progress - so I do not want to limit it to 2 and keep having to change it
 each month.]

 The same thing happens when I use wp_get_archives(type='daily'&limit=30)
 to get the last 30 days' worth of posts - it ends up pulling stuff from
 2005. (Again, not many posts up on the site from this year.)


 Thanks!
