 * 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: [](http://imgur.com/o6SrtiN)
 * 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](http://imgur.com/94LPYP1)
 * Let me know if you have any further questions and please consider donating to
   support this plugin’s development.
