- Auto blocked same domain submitted
- Integrate AJAX CAPTCHA and AJAX sending form in user interface
- Notification email for admin when some submit link
- Edit Links Page! available
- Widget already
- Easy manage links (delete, approve, unapprove, check reciprocal links) from Options page
Here are installation step :
- Make sure you upload a whole folder WpExLinks into your wp-content/plugins, please keep the structure files
- Activate both WpExLinks plugin and WpExLinks widget from your Dashboard
- Create a new page, give a title as you like (ex. Exchange Links) and paste the code in the textarea and publish
<!--wpExLinks--> |

Update note :
You can show links list without widget, just add this code into your themes, not post/page textarea! Anyway you can do it if you have execPHP plugin installed in your WordPress
<?php if(function_exists('wpExLinksList')) {wpExLinksList();} ?> |
Default will show links list in unordered list with div id=”wpExLinks” for setting in CSS and no limit number links, order by name, and ASCENDING. Please refer to readme.html file for details.
Enjoy my plugin
Thanks for all the help Admin. I got everything working on almost all the sites except for 2.
Now I also have another question. For those 2 sites it’s not working on, I get the following error message
Can’t open remote URL!
Is there a fix to this? I did some research and from what I found the error supposedly resides in a setting in the php.ini file which my host doesn’t give me access to if that is indeed the problem.
But if you or any other members have a solution to this, please let me know.
Thanks for all your help!
@sam
np
seems like your hosting cant open remote URL, then u can ask some permission to admin hosting to change php preference into ur account

Ok I have changed the folder from wp-ex-links to wpExLinks and subsequently re-activated both the plugin and the sidebar widget. Tried to add a link through the page and still nothing appeared though at least there is no longer a crash.
Using the screen in the admin menu enables the exchange partner to be added and their details to appear in the sidebar widget (set for 5) and adding has made it appear on teh relevant link page. I will try making all the changes before adding the link on another site now to see if this resolves the problem
Great plugin by the way – could make a couple of suggestions for improvements if you are interested! Email me alec@floridaproperties.co.uk if you wnat them
OK tried it with another link – same result – nothing appeared on liknks page or in sidebar widget
I ahve read every word in the readme file twice!!

Hi,
Great plugin! Thanks! I have two problems though.
1. After user clicked on “submit now”, it displayed my homepage in the same page (right under “submit now” and “reset form!” buttons). I’ve already added the right link in General Settings (Permalink of Exchange Links Page). Is there any other places I need to edit?
2. When user submit their link info, the system doesn’t send me an email. I’ve set up the right email address in the General Settings. How do I make it work?
Thanks in advance!
Hi jess, please rename folder plugin into wpExLinks via FTP

Confused
I tried deactivating ALL other plugins, but still does not work
Hi,
try to rename plugin folder into wpExLinks
and please read “README” file
thanks
I re-uploaded your plugin, but first changed the name to wpExLinks.
It does seem to function properly…adds link, sends me an email letting me know…etc.
it does however have an issue with “parse the url”???? see below;
Warning: parse_url(http://) [function.parse-url]: Unable to parse URL in /home2/hansenco/public_html/MOVINGJACKSONVILLE.com/wp-content/plugins/wpExLinks/process.php on line 101
it does seem to function properly though…..it just adds that warning at the beginning.
I uploaded your plugin to a virgin site, but first changed the name to wpExLinks.
that site is working perfect with out the above Warning notification.
Hmmm
@David
Hi, may i see your site? and if possible please send me your cpanel login to my email then i’ll fix it by my self
thanks
