  • ok, it’s definitely not your styling. The link is being treated as if it doesn’t have a description. Even with all the description options turned off, the description should be getting added to the links “title” so that it shows up as a tool tip when you hover over the link. The title for “Uncomfortably cold houses a tradition,” is completely missing.

    Try as I might, I can not recreate this unless I edit a link and remove the description.

    A few questions:

    • Are all of your links coming from one category or multiple categories?
    • Are all of your links root level (no parent) or so some/all of them have parent/child relationships set up in the individual link properties?
    • Are you using the free version of Simple Links?
    • Are you using the latest version of Simple Links?

    If you go to the sort order option in the Simple Links menu item you can drag and drop the links to set your own custom sort order.

    This will be the default order, but you also have the option to order them alphabetically by title, or randomize them by choosing the option you want from the “Order Links By” drop-down. You can also switch the sort order between Ascending or Descending.

    “Display description” is what retrieves the link description and outputs it to the page.

    The only difference between having “Description Formatting” checked and not, is that when formatting is used, the description is placed inside it’s own paragraph tags. This basically causes the description to wrap to a new line, create separation between itself and the next link and should cause it to inherit the formatting of the rest of your site.

    If you are not seeing the descriptions when only the “Display Descriptions” option is checked there is probably something in your styling that’s not allowing it to display. I’m happy to look at it if you want to send me a link to your site.

    New update is now available. Hopefully everything’s a little easier to read now.

    I know this is a pretty old post, but the link provided doesn’t wok. There are a couple of other broken links on your site as well. Are you still having an issue?

    I was able to get to a page that displayed the main nav as well as the side bar. The side bar is responsive (resizes with the window) but I see your main navigation collapses on small screens. Is this what your looking for?

    Ahhh yes…we actually noticed that too. We’re working on cleaning up that whole menu and should have an update available in a few days.

    ahh..ok, that makes sense too, it’s basically the same process on the sliders end. I did notice that the admin.js for the slider is broken, they don’t appear to be using jQuery.noConflict(); and are getting two Type Errors as a result.

    Never mind, I think I’m able to recreate the issue. tell me if this is what you’re experiencing.

    I’m not having any issues with Image Sliders OR links that are already in place, however, with simple links enabled, the “Add Slider” button in the back-end doesn’t actually add the [huge_it_slider id="#"] place holder.

    You can get around this by finding out the id of the slider you want to insert and add it manually since the plugin still works on the front end.

    Let me know if this is the same problem you’re having and I’ll try to look into it a little more.

    can you post a link to the site having the issue?

    Hey, I know this post is a few weeks old, but in case you’re still having a problem…

    I did a little digging and at first glance, the reply you got from the Huge IT developer doesn’t seem to be accurate.

    It doesn’t appear that the Simple Links plugin is including any unnecessary code, and in the Huge IT thread someone else mentioned having the same problem with no other plugins installed.

    If you haven’t already, I would try their suggestion only in reverse. Disable all plugins and see if the Slider works alone. if so, re activate one by one to find the offending plugin.

    Let me know what you find out.

    hmmm… This isn’t part of the base functionality of the plug-in. It looks like you have the simple links widget on the content sidebar. since this appears to be the only widget your using, the easiest thing to do would probably be to use a full width page template on that page so that the content sidebar isn’t displayed.
