    Hi there.

    First up: thanks so much for putting so much work into this plugin. Displaying links is such a niche area of WP and it has been overlooked by many for such a long time. Your focus in this area is really going to help me and many others. I will definitely be donating as soon as I’m set up!

    So, on to my issue. I need to create a 3 column row of links, eg: 15 links displayed as 3 cols of 5.

    There is so many options in the plugin that I’m not sure how to create it.

    I have list of links in the site, I have my categories set up. In ‘Library settings > categories’ I have ‘Number of columns in Categories Table’ set to 3, and ‘[link-library settings=1]’ in my page.

    however, it is not creating the 3 cols.

    What am I doing wrong? Is there a guide, or example code, I can follow somewhere?

    Thanks – Mark

    Here are steps to get a 3-column layout of links. I will ask you to reset your settings so I can be sure that everything starts from a clean slate.

    1- At bottom of Usage tab, click button labeled ‘Reset current library for table layout
    2- Click on Links tab and uncheck Show Column Headers
    3- Click on Advanced Tab under Library Settings
    4- Uncheck the Display check boxes next to Link Description and Link Notes
    5- Move content of ‘Before Link’ Before cell (tr tag)to Intermittent Before Link Before Cell
    6- Move content of ‘After Link Block’ After cell (closing tr tag) to Intermittent After Link After cell.
    7- Set Intermittent Before Link Display field to 3.
    8- Save settings

    After doing this, you should have a library that looks like this:

    Here is a snapshot of my Advanced tab to show you since this is where most of the configuration takes place: http://imgur.com/94LPYP1

    Let me know if you have any further questions and please consider donating to support this plugin’s development.
