    To display the link date, go to the Advanced tab of the Library Settings section and check the box next to the Link Date field.

    As for selecting the categories to display, go under the Common tab of the Library Settings section, remove the Checkbox for “Show All Categories” and select the categories that you want to display in the scroll list.

    Hi Jack,

    I could not find category id for my link categories. And also I am targeting to display all the links in one div and one category in another div in same page. I know this is weird requirement, but I need to achieve this. If I am able to find the link category id, then I can write two short codes, one to display all categories and other to display specific category. Please help resolving this.

    Thanks

    The easiest way to get the IDs is to install a plugin like Reveal IDs (https://wordpress.org/plugins/reveal-ids-for-wp-admin-25/). Then they will appear when you view the link categories page. Another way to get them without installing a plugin is to hover your house over a category and look at the URL that is associated with that link. You will see the ID in there.

    Thank You Jack, I am able to display the date next to links now.But I want to display the date created instead of last updated date(which is showing now). if I can add the last modified date also that would be great.
    I am building a document management system where users can just upload the document and a list of links auto-generated in category post along with date created. Show NEW flag for first two links in results is one of the requirements too. Any ideas?

    I am not storing the link creation date at the moment. The one thing you can do though is to set the link date to manual, which will allow you to manually specify it.
