Category Link

From a previous forum post:

There are many ways to configure Link Library. The default behaviour is that when you put both the [link-library-cats] and [link-library] shortcodes on the same page, clicking on a category name will jump to that category in the list.

There is also a different configuration that will allow you to display a single category at a time and to switch categories by clicking on the category names in the list.

A third option is to have the category list on one page, and the links on another page, but to have category links bring you to the second page and select the correct category.

I can guide you through either of these paths based on what you are trying to achieve.

Please consider donating to support this plugin’s development.

Can you please provide step by step instructions for the third option?

Thanks. That worked perfectly! One more question. Is there a way to show the link category description below my category name. Right now the only options are right and left. I have text that I want to display below the link category name, but before the links on the page. I also sent a donation your way. I appreciate your hard work.

Can you provide a link where you have Link Library setup? It may be possible to make the category fall to the next line through CSS, but it would be best for me to see your page and be able to try things out using browser developer tools.

Here is the page where Link Library is set up.

Add this to the Link Library stylesheet and save:

.linklistcatnamedesc:before {
content: ‘ ‘;
display: block;
}

The quotes need to be regular single quotes. It looks like they got changed to fancy quotes when I posted the reply. Please make sure they are regular simple quotes.
