Hi Jay,

This may me achieved by using the PRO version and selecting the following options

1. Number of levels of pages to show: 2
2. Display widget on every page: Checked
3. Top level parent Page to use for this widget: About US
4. Display highest level parent page: Checked

If you need anything else, you submit a support request using the official support area where I can provide more specific support.

Have a great day!

Version 7.5.4 is now available which includes this patch.

Enjoy!

Hi Darly,

Thank you for tracking down the culprit plugin.
I have created a patched dev version, please verify functionality is restored on your site and I will publish a proper version.

Thank you!

Hi Darly,

The current widget settings allow displaying the “Top Level” page which would display the “Understanding HIV/AIDS” above the child page’s if the output was not removed somehow.

Also the plugin is designed to display nothing if the queries return empty results and the title of the widget is being displayed.

It is possible the initial queries are returning results and are later filtered right before they are outputted? This would suggest a plugin/theme conflict.

Another possibility is your PHP version, if it is prior to PHP 5.4 there could be unexpected results.

Hi Dcoupet,

I took at the page in question and the settings being used, and everything appears to be in order.

Looks like there is another plugin or theme which is removing the output. I did notice an extra key in the widget settings called “widget_logic” which may or may not be the culprit.

If you figure out which plugin is causing the issue I may be able to create or suggest a patch.

Have a great day!

Hi PolyFade,

It appears when this features was last worked on 2012-08-19 support for importing the image address was not added. Because the blogroll was deprecated all those years ago, this feature is no longer in active development and still exists to cover the remaining 1% of use cases.

While my memory from back then is a little fuzzy, I believe it had something to do with the challenge of the Image Address field being a simple text field and not being exclusively related to images. With Simple Links using an attachment vs a text field there was simply too much unknown to implement it.

Have a great day!

Hi Slimonl,

Sounds like this is the CSS you are looking for:

.advanced-sidebar-menu .child-sidebar-menu > li > a {
    cursor: default;
    pointer-events: none;
}

Have a great day!

Hi RJ,

You may change the markup any way you like using a template-override.

As far as adjusting the <aside>, that is not part of this plugin but instead is generated by your theme when a widget area is registered.

Hope this helps!

Hi Sleepless,

It looks like you are an extension for Simple Links that has been removed from the community more than one year ago.

That plugin is not longer being actively maintained and all updates are now part of Simple Links Pro.

Unfortunately, the error you mention could only be fixed directly in the code which is not possible at this time. It is a notice level error which is not harmful and could be disabled within error reporting.

Have a great day!

Hi Digitaleffex,

Looks like you missed the “/” when you entered in the New URL. If you run the plugin again with the following settings

OLD: carolinafloats.comwp-content
NEW: carolinafloats.com/wp-content

It will fix your images.

P.S. As previously discussed the PRO version catches these types of user error and also allows simple reverting if an incorrect setting is entered.

Have a great day!

Hi Barb,

This could be accomplished by setting assigning the Menu item as parent pages to sub menu pages.

For instance:

A page titled “no place for a man” would have it’s parent page assigned to a page called “Fresh Baked”.

Once the pages are assigned to with the appropriate parent child relationships, the menus will display when viewing any page that is part of the menu.

Categories work in the same way and the category menu will display when viewing any category that is part of the menu.

The PRO version supports assigning WordPress menus to sidebars and displaying the menu on all pages such as your home page.

Hope this helps!

Hi Lataz,

This plugin uses standard versioning practices so any dot/patch version will be bug fixes or text changes only.

Have a great day!

Hi Aydorim,

You may add the following filter to your active theme’s functions.php to set this to whatever you would like.

add_filter( 'simple_links_args', 'sl_custom_number' );
function sl_custom_number( array $args ) {
	$args['count'] = 4;

	return $args;
}

This example would set them to 4.

Have a great day!

Hi Amy,

This plugin does not access user data nor create any cookies.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Digitaleffex,

I have not had an issue like this reported so AFAIK you should be good to go.

If there are other factors (like server configuration or htaccess) which have caused issues with other plugins, it’s possible there is an underlying server cause which will affect this plugin as well.

There is a feature which allows you to easily revert by using the history but it is only available with the PRO version of this plugin.

Good Luck!
