   Hi!

   I would like to show my bookmarks in 11 different pages, one for each category. Do I need to make a templatefile for each category or is there any way to add the code for getting the bookmarks of a specific category direcly onto the page of choise?

   You can switch what to show on each category by using in_category().

   Thanks for your answer! But how do I choose what category I want to display on each page? Is there a way to "call" for the content when editing my linkpages or do I need to make 11 different link-template files?

   Sorry I misunderstood the question. Different pages for each category templates - alright, how about this:

   Simplest way is change the code in the Links template to this:

   <?php $link_cat = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'link_cat', true);
   wp_list_bookmarks('category=' . $link_cat); ?>

   and add a custom field with key:link_cat and category ID in value.

   ---

   Another way is to use a shortcode. Place this code:

   function bookmarks_shortcode($attrs = array(), $content = null) {
     return wp_list_bookmarks($attrs);
   }
   add_shortcode('bookmarks', 'bookmarks_shortcode');

   in the functions.php in theme directory, and add [bookmarks] in the content.

   <ul>
   [bookmarks category=2]
   </ul>

   You can use this in any Posts/Pages and Templates.
   The same options as the wp_list_bookmarks template tag can be used to control the output.

   Thank you so much! It worked perfect with the shortcode!

   Is there a parameter to exclude the showing of the name of the category, have it also as titel of the pages and it feels a bit stupid to print it twice on each page (ex. http://www.modellrallaren.se/?page_id=377) The "category_name" isn't about excluding the name as far as I understod.

   Good to hear it worked.

   To hide the category name,
   haven't tried but this should do:

   [bookmarks category="2" categorize="0" title_li=""]
