I fixed the archive pages today. WordPress has this setting labeled “Show Most Recent” that you can use to limit the amount of content per page. This is great, except that it applies not just to the front page, but to every page, including the archives. I prefer my archives to simply list all posts that meet the particular archive criteria (daily/weekly/monthly/yearly/category/etc.).
Here’s a link to my posting in the WordPress forums about the specific changes I made to force my archive pages to ignore WordPress’s “Show Most Recent” setting.
There are a number of other things that could be set similarly to enable other template specific limits on the displayed posts. Hopefully they’ll be better documented someday.
