Title: Locking Up Page Last modified: January 12, 2017 --- # Locking Up Page * [panhandlegenealogy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/panhandlegenealogy/) * (@panhandlegenealogy) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/locking-up-page/) * Hi, I just started using this plugin yesterday, and it was working great! I added two more links, and now when I click the category header to expand the links, the page locks up. * I checked the two links I added to make sure that I didn’t mess something up, and everything looks normal. I also checked my error logs, and nothing is present. * Do you have any suggestions on what to check? Is there a setting that I can change to avoid this until I figure out what is causing the lock up? * Thanks for your help!

If that is the case, it will be more difficult for me to reproduce. * Can you provide an export of all your links as well? * Finally, if I can see the page, I might be able to see the problem just using developer tools in the browser. * Thread Starter [panhandlegenealogy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/panhandlegenealogy/) * (@panhandlegenealogy) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/locking-up-page/#post-8648552) * Thanks so much for your quick reply! * This is the page: [http://panhandlegenealogy.com/resources/digital-library/west-virginia/](http://panhandlegenealogy.com/resources/digital-library/west-virginia/) * Edit: Here are those files.

The category selection, however, is displaying correctly. * Plugin Author [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/locking-up-page/#post-8653570) * How many links do you have in that West Virginia category (tens, hundreds)? I look at the page and did see the lockup, but there are no javascript errors being thrown. * Thread Starter [panhandlegenealogy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/panhandlegenealogy/) * (@panhandlegenealogy) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/locking-up-page/#post-8654924) * Yannick, There are probably about 20 links in that category at this time. * Plugin Author [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/locking-up-page/#post-8684826) * Sorry for lack of response. I was travelling for work all of last week. I was expecting you to tell me that you had a much larger number of links than 20. I am not sure why displaying this short list of items is making the browser freeze. * I have simplified the code that takes care of expanding the list of links. Can you try this updated code before I make it public? * [https://gist.github.com/ylefebvre/80e6516e23ee685febc0d7d10624e042](https://gist.github.com/ylefebvre/80e6516e23ee685febc0d7d10624e042) * You need to replace the contents of the render-link-library-sc.php file with this code. Then try it out and let me know if it fixes the problem.

Unfortunately, the lock up is still happening. However, I am able to exit out of the tab, which I was not able to do before (: * The first time that I loaded the page, it allowed me to open two categories without a lockup. When I expanded the third category, the tab froze. When I tried to open the page after the first viewing, opening any category locks up the tab. * Could it be having so many links on one page? * Thanks for the excellent support!

Can you try that on your site and see if this helps? * Since the slide animation does not seem great in terms of performance, perhaps I can add an alternative mode that just makes the sub-list appear at once instead of sliding down. Would that work for you? * Thread Starter [panhandlegenealogy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/panhandlegenealogy/) * (@panhandlegenealogy) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/locking-up-page/#post-8700976) * Yannick, I would be completely fine with that, or an option to display the categories on their own page. Whichever would be easiest! * Also, I removed the margin and padding from the items and it didn’t seem to affect the issue. * Plugin Author [Yannick Lefebvre](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jackdewey/) * (@jackdewey) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/locking-up-page/#post-8714103) * Well, displaying categories on their own page is something that can be done by using the Permalinks option of Link Library, in conjunction with the [link-library- cats] shortcode on the top page, to display the links to all sub-pages. * You can read more about how to use this feature here: [http://ylefebvre.ca/wppluginsdoc/index.php/Using_Permalinks](http://ylefebvre.ca/wppluginsdoc/index.php/Using_Permalinks) * Would that work for your site?
