A wp_get_pages for Custom Post Types

I recently needed the wp_get_pages from WordPress to only show months that had posts from a specific custom post type, articles.

Therefore, I present the following. Just look for the line that reads “$where = apply_filters( ‘getarchives_where’, “WHERE post_type = ‘articles’ AND post_status = ‘publish'”, $r );” and edit the “articles” to be whatever your custom post type’s name is.


function wp_get_articles($args = '') {
global $wpdb, $wp_locale;

$defaults = array(
'type' => 'monthly', 'limit' => '',
'format' => 'html', 'before' => '',
'after' => '', 'show_post_count' => false,
'echo' => 1
);

$r = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
extract( $r, EXTR_SKIP );

if ( '' == $type )
$type = 'monthly';

if ( '' != $limit ) {
$limit = absint($limit);
$limit = ' LIMIT '.$limit;
}

// this is what will separate dates on weekly archive links
$archive_week_separator = '–';

// over-ride general date format ? 0 = no: use the date format set in Options, 1 = yes: over-ride
$archive_date_format_over_ride = 0;

// options for daily archive (only if you over-ride the general date format)
$archive_day_date_format = 'Y/m/d';

// options for weekly archive (only if you over-ride the general date format)
$archive_week_start_date_format = 'Y/m/d';
$archive_week_end_date_format = 'Y/m/d';

if ( !$archive_date_format_over_ride ) {
$archive_day_date_format = get_option('date_format');
$archive_week_start_date_format = get_option('date_format');
$archive_week_end_date_format = get_option('date_format');
}

//filters
$where = apply_filters( 'getarchives_where', "WHERE post_type = 'articles' AND post_status = 'publish'", $r );
$join = apply_filters( 'getarchives_join', '', $r );

$output = '';

if ( 'monthly' == $type ) {
$query = "SELECT YEAR(post_date) AS `year`, MONTH(post_date) AS `month`, count(ID) as posts FROM $wpdb->posts $join $where GROUP BY YEAR(post_date), MONTH(post_date) ORDER BY post_date DESC $limit";
$key = md5($query);
$cache = wp_cache_get( 'wp_get_archives' , 'general');
if ( !isset( $cache[ $key ] ) ) {
$arcresults = $wpdb->get_results($query);
$cache[ $key ] = $arcresults;
