You should be able to just able to keep the title blank or put a space in it to just get the image to show up by itself.

Nope, that doesn’t work…
And besides, that is a hackish way to work around it… 🙂
There is currently no built in way to do this.
You could accomplish this will some creative css. For instance if you images are 150px high you could use the followinc css.
.simple-links-list li{
height: 150px;
}
.simple-links-list img{
position:absolute;
z-index: 3;
}
You could do the same thing for widgets, by changing .simple-links-list to .sl-links-main.
I have added this feature to the list for an upcoming version.
Cheers
Glad to see it in a future version.
Thanks Mat!

hey Mat.
Would you be so kind of explaining this a bit deeper?
I use the Simple Link plugin on my blog http://ctrl-t.com
Though I want to have only image links, but your above comment may make sense to hardcore coders, but to me it looks like Greek.
– Where do I change .simple-links-list to .sl-links-main?
– That CSS code is to be in a new file? (and if yes; “How do I link what file to the CSS file?)
Help a noob every day, keeps the nightmares away! 😛
Thanks!
PS:
I have request/suggestion…
Lets say Simon has a link category “friends” with 58 links.
he wants to have 10 of these in a side-widget (at random on pageload)
Wouldn’t it be great if he could accomplish this with ease from within the Simple Links plugin?
hi WordStress,
To use this for the sl-links-main you could change the css as follows.
.simple-links-main li{
height: 150px;
}
.simple-links-main img{
position:absolute;
z-index: 3;
}
You may add this to your theme’s ‘style.css’ file.
For your PS suggestion, if you select use “Order Links By” and select “Random” and set your “Number of Links” to “10” this should give you what you are looking for.
Hope this Helps!
Cheers
Thanks Mat!
I added that code in the theme style.css, but nothing changes on the site.
I moved the widget to the sidebar and now I see that the text link under my images is not so annoying (within the theme widget style).
I will just wait for the upgraded version of simple-links that wil have the only-images option implemented.
Also thanks for explaining the “random” option…. I felt like a super-noob! Why didn’t I see that before? 😛
Hi WordStress,
I have release version 1.9.0 today which adds an option to both the shortcode and widget to display the link images with the title.
Enjoy!
