### 󠀁[Simple plugin that gets the job done](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-plugin-that-gets-the-job-done-2/)󠁿

Incredibly this is the only plugin that I found that a) is a widget b) groups archives
by year and c) integrates well with themes. It works perfectly with WordPress 6.9
as well.
