This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
I'm trying to create a basic blog archive page with posts listed and grouped by date, according to the instructions in
https://toolset.com/2013/10/how-to-group-views-results-by-year-and-month/.
I created the Custom Code snippet following the instructions. I pasted in the Loop content following the instructions. I wasn't sure if I should add the shortcode "heading" to my Front-End Content settings, so I tried it with and without.
Solution:
I assume you are putting the custom PHP codes here:
Dashboard-> Toolset-> Settings-> Custom code.
If it is, please make sure you have activated the snippet code.

Included is a screenshot of the Custom Code I pasted in.
Here are the results I'm getting:

Clearly the posts aren't getting grouped correctly.
Can you help me get the basic archive working? Thanks!
Hi Luo,
Thank you so much. The snippet was not activated. I activated it and the archive worked as desired.
I have a follow-up question about styling the list of posts.
I want to display the posts as an unordered list within each group of dates. Right now, the "ul" repeats itself each time for the loop, and I am getting spaces in between each item. The Inspector confirms that this is what's happening. See screenshots.
Here's the code I have in the Loop Editor:
[wpv-layout-start]
[wpv-items-found]
<!-- wpv-loop-start -->
<wpv-loop>
[heading condition="year" value="[wpv-post-date format="Y"]"]
<h4>[wpv-post-date format="Y"]</h4>
[/heading]
[heading condition="month" value="[wpv-post-date format="F"]"]
<h5>[wpv-post-date format="F"]</h5>
[/heading]
<ul>
<li>[wpv-post-link]</li>
</ul>
</wpv-loop>
<!-- wpv-loop-end -->
[/wpv-items-found]
[wpv-no-items-found]
<strong>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]No items found[/wpml-string]</strong>
[/wpv-no-items-found]
[wpv-layout-end]
Is there any way to get just the "li" items to repeat and not the entire "ul" group?
Thank you for your help.
