Archives widget li should have informative css classes

[basteln3rk]

The archives widget should add classes m-item and m-item-XXXX to allow better styling and ajax functionality, as well as being consistent with other widgets (e.g. categories widget provides such classes as cat-item and cat-item-XX with ID).

Workaround: it is possible to customize the archive link getter to add the required css classes:

add_filter( 'get_archives_link', function($link_html) {
        preg_match('/m=([0-9]+)/', $link_html, $m);
        $month= $m[1];
        if ($month) {
                return preg_replace('/<li>/', '<li class="m-item m-item-' . $month . '">', $link_html); 
        }       
        else {
                return $link_html;
        }
});
