    Hi, I am trying to change the appearance of the links via the style editor but have no idea how to. Currently, the links (right side) look like this: https://ibb.co/cMzgvy but I want them to look like those on the left.

    To do this, I need to:
    – change the font size and bold the text
    – have the date appear at the bottom of the link name rather than side by side

    Is there a way to do this? I am a beginner and do not really understand much about coding etc. so a beginners guide would be best! Thank you very much for your help in advance πŸ™‚

    To change the font size and bold the text, you could add a block like the following to the Link Library stylesheet editor:

    .track_this_link {
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 24px;
    }

    To get the date to appear on the next line, go to the Advanced tab of Library Settings, under the Link Library menu. Look for the Link Name field in the large table. In its After field, put in <br />. This will put a line feed after the link name.

    Let me know if this helps and please consider donating to support this plugin’s development.

    Oh, just one last thing – is there a way to automatically update the link library without having to manually input it whenever I add a new link to a page?

    No. The main purpose of Link Library is not to create a list of pages on a site, but to create a collection of links to external sites. It can be used to create a list of internal page links, but the plugin does not know if the links are internal or external pages. As such, I never designed functionality specific to updating links when pages are modified on a site.

    A plugin like Page-list might be more what you are looking for:

    Hmm… that is a great plugin but I don’t think it’s what I’m looking for.

    What I was hoping to do is to have a page which shows the recent links added to the website. It’s a similar idea to ‘recent posts’ but simply for new links that I add onto a page. The links would then lead to PDF files that I have uploaded into the WordPress media folder but they do not necessarily have their own page per say.

    I am not sure whether recent links or media would be better but I have not been able to find any plugin that can do either of those. Link Library is the best so far from my search.

    I see. I agree that Link Library is probably the best fit for you. If you are putting links to these files in your site content, then you should be able to automatically import new links into Link Library by using the Import/Export tab under Library settings. There is a section in this tab to allow you to import links from site pages. And a checkbox to specify that existing links should be updated when URLs match.
