i’m starting with wordpress (from a drupal background) and trying to figure out how to create a new “menu” or url pattern. not quite sure what the lingo is in wordpress so im having a little trouble searching online for it.

the current archive allows you to sort by: /post/date/2010/06

what i’m trying to do is extend the archive functionality to include a “day” as well.
ie. /post/date/2010/06/22

i dont mind creating a new page type for this purpose such as /archive/YYYY/MM/DD or something like that.

not sure where to begin with matching the “url pattern” to the “url handler” function or template.

    I ended up using:

    <ul><?php wp_get_archives('type=daily'); ?></ul>

    It gave me an archival list of links which point directly to the pages I needed.
    The archive already supported filtering by day, so I just needed to find a way to access it.

    The url pattern is /post/yyyy/mm/dd

    If anyone is interested in generating a link directly to that page, use:

    <?php echo get_day_link(2010, 6, 20); ?>
