    Hello Yannick great plug-in but having an issue with something.

    I have all categories set-up and they look fine. Then the list of sights is below and I want there to be a button (I have a button maker short code, 2 actually that alternate color.)

    I want the button to say LINK NAME and when hovered, the description. Then I want all the buttons assembled under their category header. Seems pretty easy but I cannot get it. My short code is [button link=”#”]Button Name[/button] and then [button2 link=”#”]Second Button[/button]

    No matter where I put these things it won’r work. WHat boxes do I use? Now I have description checked yes, or do I turn it off? I put [button link=” in the before box under website and the “] in the after but where do I put th e[/button] please help

    Indeed. Shortcodes are not supported in the Link Library configuration fields at this time. You would have to go with straight html divs, with proper styling, to get the same effect.

    Okay how do you mean? All I want is buttons under the categories so it stays neat. For example, always in a table sort of. When it is text, different size makes it look funky. I havee 1000px screen so want to do 10 links across, but want buttons for those ten. Any idea?

    Yes, Yes very much. Only difference is I would like much smaller as I have so many links I would like to get something like 8-10 across. And don’t mind small text to do it. Just need ability of maybe 12 characters max per button. And then I have the box checked for description tool-tip. Would be great. How do I?

    I also do not mind the text with the favicons that I have now, but the sites are listerd in a list like

    google
    facebook
    instagram

    and I would like

    google facebook instagram

    because each has a favicaon

    How can I do that?

    Plugin Author Yannick Lefebvre

    (@jackdewey)

    Add the following to your stylesheet:

    .floatinglink {
    	float: left;
    	width: 90px;
    	margin: 8px;
    	text-align: center
    }
    
    .boxtext {
    	background: #3498db;
      background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #3498db, #2980b9);
      background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #3498db, #2980b9);
      background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #3498db, #2980b9);
      background-image: -o-linear-gradient(top, #3498db, #2980b9);
      background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #3498db, #2980b9);
      -webkit-border-radius: 28;
      -moz-border-radius: 28;
      border-radius: 28px;
      font-family: Arial;
      color: #ffffff;
      font-size: 10px;
      padding: 6px 10px 6px 10px;
      text-decoration: none;
    }

    Then, here is a screenshot of my advanced configuration page: https://imgur.com/a/WXyEr

    Okay, I think I got it. It isn’t very pretty but I guess that is because many of my link names are too long.

    Thanks for your help. Last question- will an important tag where the text color is help it t oremain the right color and not default to site?

    Plugin Author Yannick Lefebvre

    (@jackdewey)

    Yes, that would definitely help, unless your site theme also has an important tag. Thanks for the donation.
