Hi,
The code above works in OJS 3.1.1.2 as well.
Here is the modified templates/frontend/pages/issueArchive.tpl
file. Replace the content of that file with the code below. If nothing happens, then you are probably using a theme that has it’s own issueArchive.tpl template so you have to add the changes to that file instead.
