 * Having the same problem now while using SU version 4.9.6. I was on WP 3.9.1 –
   but just updated to WP 4.1.1 (everything was working fine prior in WP 3.9.1).
   Now all of the Spoiler’s CSS/Custom CSS is missing from all but one instance (
   a single spoiler on one page is working). All the other Spoilers have disappeared
   from the other pages.
 * Help Please!

 * Appreciate your reply to my post, although I tried the Custom CSS you’ve suggested
   without affect.
 * I have a variety of Dropdown Menus Widgets used in sidebars with top-level items
   only (no sub menus). What would be ideal is for the “Link Text Color on mouse
   over” to simply stay “ON” when that is the active link (page being visited). 
   I really don’t need the background of the menu item to change… just the link 
   color to remain highlighted – to indicate that is where they are.
 * Any additional suggestions?…
 * Thanks!

 * I Understand, and appreciate your interest in continued development. Do you do
   any “work for hire” type of projects? (perhaps that’s an option, so I could create
   a custom installation for my site with Link Library). Or, if not… is there someone
   you would recommend who does that?

 * Hi again, Yannic —
 * Thanks! Appreciate the details… I hadn’t found any documentation about those 
   placeholders in Link Library, so they may come in handy at some point.
 * On the ability to automatically open a Link Library Popup with the external websites
   directly loaded (iFrame within the Popup): From what I’ve researched, I believe
   there are MANY people searching for this capability. There are lots of plugins
   and scripts that will do this on a link-by-link basis (within a page or post)—
   and some that will do this globally (a very desired feature from the forums and
   posts I’ve been reading) — but NONE that I’ve found has the ability to do this
   with the links from the WP Link Manager. I’ve done fairly exhaustive research(
   dozens of hours) — in the WP repository… through script sites such as Code Canyon…
   and through Google search. Your Link Library plugin may have a distinct and unique
   advantage there.
 * The reason this capability is important for an information-rich website such 
   as the one I’m building is that it allows me to freely offer many links to external
   websites — without sending people away from my website. Most Lightbox/Popup frameworks
   allow for this (plus handling video / audio / docs / etc.) — but like I said,
   none of them that I’ve found will work with links in the WP Link Manager. Sure,
   I could send people to new pages/tabs for each link clicked… but after a few 
   opened links, my site will get lost in the shuffle. Since I’m the referring site(
   and am spending a lot of time to bring them these high-quality links in the first
   place)… I want a foolproof way for people to stay on my site — while still being
   able to browse all the information I’m giving them. This is especially important
   on smaller screened devices.
 * Ideally (a wishlist), it works as follow:
 * 1) There is a selection checkbox on the Link Library Setting Page to select “
   Open all external links in an iFrame Popup”. The Popup opens automatically with
   the website (iFrame) loaded — there is no additional link needed within the Popup.
 * —> This is most likely already built into any framework you would choose. I know
   you’re using a framework already for the Popup you have now… but a particularly
   good one is Fancybox ( [http://fancybox.net](http://fancybox.net) ) — both for
   its capabilities and for being visually attractive.
 * 2) There is the ability to select the Popup size in either pixels -or- percentage…
   so that a window size of “100%” would open up the maximum default, according 
   to the Popup’s capability. It should be responsive, accommodating all window 
   sizes.
 * 3) There is the ability to include additional HTML of my choosing within the 
   Popup — ideally, at the top of the Popup window — which could include a headline,
   description, perhaps the placeholders you already use, etc. A big bonus would
   be the ability for my WP Shortcodes to function within the Popup as well (load
   above the iFrame).
 * 4) People can then navigate from there within the same Popup (lightbox), When
   they are done, they would simply close the Popup — and would still be on the 
   original page containing the link they clicked (the iFrame / external website,
   is within the Popup).
 * ————-
 * Not sure if you have any commercial intentions with your Link Library plugin…
   but this function would make for a great paid add-on, if you were so inclined.
   I’d be happy to assist with any additional input / function details, if you’d
   like, to iron things out.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi again, Yannic —
 * Appreciate your reply. I’ve found a current, updated WP plugin called “Simple
   Links” — that appears to solve both the outdated “My Link Order” plugin issue…
   and offers enhancements needed to the original WP Links Manager:
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-links](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-links)
 * It offers hierarchical categories, link ordering, as well as a number of other
   options that open up the possibility of more control and organization over a 
   large collection of links. There’s a new Simple Links admin menu that replaces
   the original WP Links Manager menu. But, it does not display the links on a site.
 * I know you said that adding support for hierarchical links in Link Library would
   require a lot of effort… but, given the work already done with Simple Links… 
   is there some easy way for Link Library to access and use Simple Links?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi again, RavanH —
 * Excellent… I’m ready to buy it. Any idea of when that upgrade will be available?(
   and, do you have an email announcement list I can subscribe to?).
 * No doubt a large number of your installed base (from the free version in the 
   WordPress Plugin repository) – would also be interested. I’ve seen many instances
   of externally hosted, paid WP “Pro” versions and upgrade plugins – and Easy FancyBox
   seems like a natural for this route.

 * Hi RavanH —
 * According to the Fancyapps website, they offer a couple of options to use FancyBox
   for commercial websites by paying a fee. I would venture to guess that they would
   be open to a licensing arrangement (pay-per-sale, perhaps?) that would allow 
   you to offer a paid version that includes FancyBox 2.1.5 as an upgrade to the
   current Easy FancyBox.
 * Have you checked with them to ask what options they would be willing to consider?
   I’d really like to see Easy FancyBox move forward (especially mobile) – and am
   more than willing to pay for it, like other plugins I’ve bought on Envato / CodeCanyon.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi again…
 * O.K., started with your suggestions by changing the plugin folder name, but that
   just deactivated the plugin (removed all menus). Changed the folder name back…
   and then noticed the most recent Link Library plugin update (5.8.5.7) – so I 
   went ahead and updated.
 * Now the menu has appeared at the bottom of the admin menu list… and everything
   appears to be available in the submenus and working. So, not sure if you added
   something to the update that affected the admin menu – but, at this point, everything
   seems in order here so far.
 * Thanks!

 * Appreciate your help with this…
 * I’ve found the conflict – it’s with a plugin called ” DigitalAccessPass LiveLinks”—
   which installs an admin menu titled ” Digital Access Pass (DAP) ‘” in the exact
   location in the admin menu where Link Library should appear. When I turn off 
   that plugin… the Link Library menu returns, with all functions.
 * Is there a way to “rename” the Menu Title for Link Library to, perhaps something
   like ” WP Link Library ” — so that it would sort to a different location in the
   admin menu? (just guessing here).
 * —> NOTE: I need to use DAP — as it’s the eCommerce backbone to the site I’m building.
   So, ideally, we can find a workaround… because I really want to use Link Library
   as well.
 * Thanks, Yannick!

 * I have turned off all unessential plugins (not necessary for site operation) –
   and have alternately tried turning others on and off to see if it would make 
   a difference (haven’t disabled all, however – or tried switching themes yet).
 * The only plugin I have that affected Admin menus at all was Admin Bar Disabler–
   which is only directed at the admin bar that’s present at the top of the viewed
   website pages for logged-in admins (but it has never had any affect on the admin
   area backend). And yes, I tried disabling that… with no difference. Also cleared
   the various caches often, along the way.
 * When I created links under the links menu (which is there) – all the settings
   for creating the links are there… and the links show up in the list. Same thing
   for the link categories… everything seems fine. The ONLY thing that’s going on
   from what I can tell is that the Link Library Menu Tab (plugin settings in the
   Admin area) – are completely missing.
 * Let me know what else I can to to help solve this…
 * Thanks!
