  I'm assuming that this code lives in the footer block right? If pages are created in the FUEL admin instead of static view files, then the CI variable is not sent to the page (for security reasons). Although their is a $CI variable declared in the global variables file, it is really only there for the variables file and not passed to the page (so you can use it to grab segment values and load additional helpers etc). For view files, that $CI variables is actually passed around Line 341 of fuel/modules/fuel/libraries/Fuel_page.php. To pass "globally", you'll need to add it to the $vars array like so:
  $vars['CI'] =& get_instance();
  Or, you could also declare $CI directly in the footer block.
  $CI =& get_instance();

  Great!!! Working now, also had to change the $this to $CI on the following line because it gave following error - Call to member function url() on a non-object
  
  fuel_blog->url($month); ?>"><?php echo $month_str; ?>
  
  
  Completed code below for reference

  Archives

  <?php
  $CI =& get_instance();
  $archives_by_month = $CI->fuel_blog->get_post_archives();
  if (!empty($archives_by_month)) : ?>

  
  <?php foreach($archives_by_month as $month => $archives) : $month_str = date('F Y', strtotime(str_replace('/', '-', $month).'-01')); ?>
  • fuel_blog->url($month); ?>"><?php echo $month_str; ?>
  <?php endforeach; ?>
  

  <?php endif; ?>

  Categories

  <?php $posts_to_categories = $CI->fuel_blog->get_posts_to_categories(); ?>
  <?php if (!empty($posts_to_categories)) : ?>

  
  <?php foreach($posts_to_categories as $post_to_category) : ?>
  • category_url; ?>"><?php echo $post_to_category->category_name; ?>
  <?php endforeach; ?>
  

  <?php endif; ?>
  
  Thanks again for all your help,
