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
I m translate this plug-in to croatian and i whont share if somebody intrested…
thanks !!!
I’ve the plugin installed in my site. But my friends try to link exchange to, after they fill all the information need and press submit. It worked to save the data and then it say:
“Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.”
Why??? Please help me
it’s seems like you extract plugin to wrong folder. Please remember folder name must be wpExLinks (case sensitive) not default extract from wordpress.org.

Hi,
do the person who exchanged links with us received email that their link is updated? I installed the scripts and I received the email saying a New Link is Submitted..
nice idea..
i’ll work for next version
thnx, regards
Can I view the links in one customized page instead of on the sidebar? What code I need to add? Thanks!
Of course you can… put this code anywhere you like …
please refer to readme file for more information
regards
Yes, I read the readme file. it says that I need to put the code:
on wp-content/themes//index.php
So if I want to list all the links on the “link”page, should I place the code into textarea in HTML CODE of the “link”page?
Sorry for keep bothering you. I added the code you gave me into textarea in HTML CODE of the “link”page, since I have execPHP plugin installed. But when I submit the test link via the form and approved in the admin, I didn’t see the submitted link on the “link”page. Do I missing anything? Thank you very much!!
make sure you have turned off the function wysiwhg from the admin panel. and test it first, give it like example
< ?php echo "123"; ?>after all works, crosscheck between widget exchange links and link that generated from function in your links page
regards.
nb:may i see your blog?

Here is my blog: best4future.com/blog/
Now I put the link submib form in the “link” page: best4future.com/blog/links. Please be aware that the link list on this page is NOT automatically generated, but hand written in HTML code by myself.
I created a “test” page to see the submitted link list: best4future.com/blog/links/test. But after I submitted a test link, nothing showed there,while in the sidebar widget, the test link showed up. (the widget is at the bottom of the sidebar)
As you can see, there are a lot of content for one link. I am very interested in showing the link list on one page. It will easy to display the Website Description.
Thank you very much for your help!!
