   Hello
   I'm using different classes for lists in the Link Categories, so in the "After" formatting, I left the default, which is </li>. And in the "Before" formatting, I've added different classes, for example: <li class="blogs"> (since I have different list-styles)

   But it's not adding those classes, I check the source and it's always <li> for all the links.

   I didn't edit any php files, so I think it was suppose to work since it's something in the wordpress "cpanel" area.

   I don't know if this is a bug or it's just my files, if anyone could help me.
   Thanks in advance.

   added: I also tried changing themes, default and classic and it's not a problem from there, since it doesn't add the classes either
   might be from links.php in wp-includes folder

   This is really troublesome.
   Well, looking in my links.php, in the end is something like this:

   //Display the category name
echo ' <li id="linkcat-' . $cat['link_category'] . '"><h2>' . $cat['cat_name'] . "</h2></li>n";
// Call get_links() with all the appropriate params
get_links($cat['link_category'],
"<li>","</li>","n",
bool_from_yn($cat['show_images']),
$orderby,
bool_from_yn($cat['show_description']),
bool_from_yn($cat['show_rating']),
$cat['list_limit'],
bool_from_yn($cat['show_updated']));
// Close the last category
echo "";
}
}
}
?>

   in the 6th line, where it's
   "<li>","</li>","n",
   is actually where I wanted the $before.
   I don't know PHP very well, but I understand some logic, the first <li> should have some variable I think.. the one getting the $before, how can I do that?

   Well I got help from outside, this $before is only for before the headings in the categories name, I guess. Or is something related, but it's not doing anything anyway that before and after

   Is there anyway to have different classes (for CSS) in the lists (<li>) of each link, inside each category?

   Well it hacls the core, but to get the functionality you want (and I wanted) is fairly simple. Change the following 2 lines in links.php.

   Line 552:

   '<li>',"</li>","n",
   to
   $cat['text_before_link'],$cat['text_after_all'],$cat['text_after_link'],

   Line 533:

   sort_desc, list_limit
   to
   sort_desc, list_limit, text_before_link, text_after_link, text_after_all

   Now the before and after tags you put into link categories will show up in the code for each link in that category.
