    I like the look of this widget and wanted to see if it can do what I am looking for. I have two text box widgets and one link box widget in a side bar. I need to link the title of each to a page, I have found a text box widget that will let me make the title into a link but cannot find a link box widget the will let me make the title a link. I wanted to see if this could be done with yours or if not if you could maybe add that option?

    Hello DnA,

    It is possible to link the widget title using a built in filter titled ‘simple_links_widget_settings’.

    Add this code to your theme’s functions.php file and change the link to wherever you would like the title to link to and it should work just fine.

    add_filter('simple_links_widget_settings', 'sl_link_title');
function sl_link_title( $instance ){

	/** Url to where you want this to link to goes here **/
	$link = "http://lipeimagination.info"; 

	$instance['title'] = sprintf('<a href="%s">%s</a>', $link, $instance['title']);
	return $instance;
}

    This particular filter will change the link of the title in every Simple Links widget. If you would like to change a specific one or different links for different ones you will have to change the first line to match the id of the widget like so.
    add_filter('simple_links_widget_settings_simple-links-3', 'sl_link_title');

    Hope this helps.

    This works but I can only see one link I imported them and it shows them in admin panel but when I go to the page it only shows 2 links. And only shows 2 link in firebug.
