We'll create fresh WordPress site with Display Links by Category installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
This plugin allows users to display their WordPress links by category through custom fields.
The following gives a step-by-step setup overview:
[links_by_cat field_id="(ID previously entered in Name field goes here)"]
[links_by_cat]
The shortcode also supports many other parameters for ordering and structuring your links. All parameters on the list (except “category”) found on the following page are available: https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_bookmarks#Parameters
Other parameter example:
[links_by_cat orderby="rating"] -- This is an example using the orderby parameter from the list. The links will now be ordered by their rating.
The ability to display all categories has been added to the shortcode. Simply add:
[links_by_cat display_all]
Many bug fixes have also been introduced in version 1.0.1 as well, so please upgrade.
Currently, only one category is supported per Custom Field entry; however, I am looking to update the plugin soon so that it supports multiple categories.
