Wordpress help

[Shock]

On a theme I'm using the archive information is not displaying in the sidebar. In sidebar.php is the following:

<?php /* IF THIS IS A DATE-BASED ARCHIVE */ } elseif ( is_date() ) { ?>
			<li id="archive-links">
				<h2>Archives</h2>
				<ul>
					<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly'); ?>
				</ul>
			</li>

But it doesn't seem to do anything. Doesn't even display the 'Archives' header.

So does anyone know what's needed to get the archive list displaying, like on the default theme?

There's also an archive.php which I can paste if that might have anything to do with it.

my archives are called like this -

<li class="archive-links">
	<h3><?php _e('Archives', 'marksweb') ?></h3>
		<ul>
			<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly') ?>
		</ul>
</li>
