    Hi Yannick,

    I just installed this plugin and am configuring it in my site. What I want to do but haven’t figure out how nor have find some related topic is:

    – How to show a category listing page? What shortcode should I use to show link linsting per category?

    – How to make visible the Link’s long description (the one captured in the wp web editor)

    Thanks,
    Alejandro Robles

    To show links per category, you would use the [link-library] short code. To show list of categories, use [link-library-cats].

    To display long description, go to Advanced Settings under Library Settings section and check the box next to the link Large Description row title.

    Thanks for your quick response!! I have been able to show the link description but with ‘per category listings’ issue ..how to mak this listing but with the categoeies separated in different pages.

    When adding a category there’s a field asking for it’s ‘Category lnk’, I am looking for a link like as when you can list al posts in a single category in the blog area.

    The category link is something different. Are you looking just to create different pages with a category’s link per page, linking to each page from the site menu? Or do you want a page with a list of all categories, linking to each page?

    I’m trying to do the fist option:

    “Are you looking just to create different pages with a category’s link per page, linking to each page from the site menu?”

    Thanks!

    You can use the Link Library shortcode on multiple pages, with the categorylistoverride option to specify which categories will show for each instance. You can read more about it here:
