Indeed. Sorry about that. Just pushed out an update to make that word translatable. Let me know if that solves your issue and please consider donating to support this plugin’s development.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
We updated the plugin, but the string ‘All’ is still missing when we looked with Loco to translate (A-Z bar). At the moment we are testing the features for implementation and 2 questions come to mind.
– Is it possible to have 3 columns on the page with the categories?
– And is there a filter option to include on the page. To filter on categories from the top?
See an example layout here, but it lacks the features and possibility (Link Library has): https://codecanyon.net/item/useful-links-collections/18998109

That string should be ALL upper-case, not with only the first letter being capital. You might need to ask Loco Translate to re-scan the plugin code.
Yes, you can display a list of categories to filter with the [link-library-cats] shortcode. There are then options to display the list of categories as a table or drop-down list and to update the page contents using a bunch of options.
As for achieving that exact layout, I would need to investigate how to achieve it with a good example. I think that some light javascript code is required.
Just found a tutorial showing how to achieve this type of layout. I’ll try to investigate tomorrow evening after work. If I don’t get to it tomorrow, it’ll be Wednesday evening.
Hi Robert, I’ve been experimenting with a responsive grid layout for links and link categories and it’s coming along well. For the other part of your questions, are you looking for exactly the feature that can be seen with this other plugin where categories can be displayed or hidden by selecting the categories?
Hi Yannick,
Thanks for your reply. And glad to know there is progress.
Well the main concern is when links pile up in a specific category then this will become longer. So there has to be a way to cut off at a certain point e.g. 10 or so. and have pagination or view more links to bring a page or ajax load so see the rest. Also would be handy if a category would be clickable to bring out all the items within.
Along with displaying all the categories on one page instead of clicking on pagination to see the next.
Hiding isn’t necessary needed, but I can see that others would find that option interesting. The other plugin has an option that you can generate a short code for each list of categories you want to pull and then add that to a page. But there major issue at the moment is that the search only works when everything is on the page and not when you are cutting of a say 10. So search an pagination are not going together.
Hope this helps improve the plugin.
Regards,
Robert
Hi Robert, This is a whole lot of feature requests. I’ll see what I can tackle with the way that Link Library works.
Link Library can already do a lot of these things, but not in a grid view like the one you sent. For example, Link Library can paginate link results, can show only one category at a time, with switching on category names, and can also search through all links and display results.
I am going to have to see what would make sense to incorporate in a grid view.
Hi Yannick,
No problem, just stating different possibilities.
Will keep following the progress.
Have a great day and stay safe!

Robert
Hi Yannick,
Hope your doing fine.
Is there a way for us to achieve a button style output for the categories. That when clicked will show all the links related to that specific category? We are trying to get a cleaner look to browse through.
See: https://tinyurl.com/ycefw7v5
At the moment no results are shown when we click ‘view’ in the category section in the wp admin section.
P.s. Also how to we create a bit more space between the search button and the reset button?
Thanks,
Robert

Robert
Also another question:
We tried this shortcode: [link-library-cats settings=”1″ categorylistoverride=”4715″]
And we get a list e.g.: Restaurants (1), but when clicking the page reloads with no results?
In the (admin) tab > Library .. > Search > we see a field ‘Results page address’, is this related and what should we fill in? There is no help info, other then ‘leave empty …’.
And we also noticed that when searching no results are shown if we don’t have a category display list with linked links on the page.
Please advise,
Regards,
Robert

The way it is designed, you should put both the [link-library-cats] and [link-library] shortcodes on the same page. To show only one category at a time, you would check the option to ‘Only show one category at a time’ under the Common Library Configurations section. You could then set the mechanism to switch the categories (ajax, etc…). To achieve what you first described, you should not put a categorylistoverride to show a single category. You want all categories to appear in [link-library-cats], but then only show links for one of these categories at a time.
To get search results to be shown, you either need to have the [link-library] shortcode on the same page as the [link-library-search] shortcode, or you need to put the [link-library] shortcode on a different page and put the address of that page in the Results page address field.
