# Links within Pages

 * I’ve been working on this for hours now, so I’m using my lifeline here.
 * Here’s the goal: Lists of links within pages. Example: [http://www.jamieandholly.com/links](http://www.jamieandholly.com/links)
 * I’d like to do this w/o creating seperate template files to be called (I’d like
   them to all be generated off index.php).
 * I’ve tried the “Execution of All Things” plugin as well as the “Run PHP” plug-
   in to call the get_links_list template tag — but neither plug-in seems to work
   for this.
 * There has to be some way to pull the content of links into my pages. My end goal
   is to be able to allow my wife to do things like easily add recipes to our website
   just by building a link and adding it to the ‘recipes’ category. All help appreciated!

 * Okay, much confusion. First of all, the sites you have referenced at the bottom
   are wrong. The one at the top is right. Hard to get help when the links don’t
   work.
 * I’m not sure what you are trying to do. If you have categories set up, do you
   want those to show up on the front page or not?
 * They will automatically. Or you can customize them to only be seen on specific
   category pages.
 * You are going to have to be a little more clear about this.
 * I recommend you check out the WordPress Codex at [http://codex.wordpress.org/](http://codex.wordpress.org/)
   to get more information on what you want to do. And for just making links:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Linking_Posts_Pages_and_Categories](http://codex.wordpress.org/Linking_Posts_Pages_and_Categories)

 * Sorry my links were bad. I missed one letter in my URL. The should have been:
   
   Website: [http://www.jamieandholly.com](http://www.jamieandholly.com) Links Page:
   [http://www.jamieandholly.com/links](http://www.jamieandholly.com/links) Recipes
   Page: [http://www.jamieandholly.com/recipes](http://www.jamieandholly.com/recipes)
 * The goal is to be able to display a series of links, based on categories, within
   the main section of the page. For instance if my categories are Baseball, Basketball,
   and Football, I can build a page in WP called “Favorite Teams” that would have
   this content:
    <Strong>Baseball <contents of category of Baseball links> Basketball
   <contents of category of Basketball links> Football <contents of category of 
   Football links>
 * The goal being that when I get a new favorite team (in this example) I can simply
   add a link to that category and it is dymnamically added to that page.
 * So no, I am not trying to get links to show up the front page, I am trying to
   get them to build into a certain page. And yes, I have spent hours in the codex
   trying to find how to do this. Any other help?

 * Well I figured it out. The key was the PHPExec Plugin: [http://priyadi.net/archives/2005/03/02/wordpress-php-exec-plugin/](http://priyadi.net/archives/2005/03/02/wordpress-php-exec-plugin/)
 * Here’s the exact code that makes it work once you install the plugin:
 * `<strong>Family</strong>`
 * `<ul>
    <phpcode><br /> <?php get_links(3); ?><br /> </phpcode></ul>
 * In action: [http://www.jamieandholly.com/links](http://www.jamieandholly.com/links)

 * Incase you’re looking for an alternative to PHPExec (for any user), there is 
   another plugin called RunPHP which does basically the same thing.
