Title: Plugin for linking websites? Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Plugin for linking websites? * [JayRich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayrich/) * (@jayrich) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-for-linking-websites/) * Hey Everyone, * I was looking to have a few sites associated with each other and to do this I was hoping to implement it in a way that looks similar to [http://gawker.com/](http://gawker.com/). At the top of the page you can see a button with 3 lines and when you click it, it shows a bunch of different sites that are within the parent website. Anyone know of a way or a plugin that I could use to make this a possibility? * Also, I am unsure if I am aloud to link to an external site, but given that it is a safe site, maybe it isn’t an issue? If it is, I apologize. * Look forward to hearing any ideas you guys have. * Thanks Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [leejosepho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leejosepho/) * (@leejosepho) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-for-linking-websites/#post-4234724) * I have links to several other sites including my own in a Menu widget in my sidebar as well as some credits links (web thanks) in my footer, and I think the only issue there is a matter of respect by first being sure the other site owner or manager has no objection. * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-for-linking-websites/#post-4234735) * You can create a custom menu (Appearance->Menus) and add it to a sidebar widget. If you want the link to open in a new tab/window, then to go top right of Menus admin and click on “Screen Options” and then check “Link Target” and then close the “Screen Options” curtain Then you’ll have a check box so you can set a link to open in a new tab/window. Once you’ve saved your menu, you can add it to a widget area. (Appearance->Widgets) * For another options (I’ve not used it), but the old “Blog Roll” functionality was pulled out of WordPress as of 3.5, but you can get it back with the [Link Manager](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/link-manager/) plugin. * Really, I think the first way is the “WordPress way.” * Thread Starter [JayRich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayrich/) * (@jayrich) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-for-linking-websites/#post-4234747) * Thank you both for the replies. However, I don’t necessarily just want the list to be visible but would rather like a button, when pressed, displays all the websites, similar to Gawker. Is it possible to add buttons like that in WordPress? * [leejosepho](https://wordpress.org/support/users/leejosepho/) * (@leejosepho) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-for-linking-websites/#post-4234752) * You might try taking a look at some of these: [http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=custom+menu+button](http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=custom+menu+button) * Thread Starter [JayRich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayrich/) * (@jayrich) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-for-linking-websites/#post-4234756) * I feel like CSS would definitely be the way to go but I am not familiar enough to mess around with coding. With that being said, in the mean time I will play around with it a bit and see if I can get something to work. * Thanks again everyone and please keep the suggestions coming! * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-for-linking-websites/#post-4234761) * Another suggestion would be some type of [accordion menu](http://wordpress.org/search/accordion+menu) plugin/widget. * Thread Starter [JayRich](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayrich/) * (@jayrich) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-for-linking-websites/#post-4234764) * Hmmm, will look into that now. * In the mean time I just wanted to re-iterate a little more on my Gawker-esque request. What I really like about it is of course one, it’s just a button and you can display every other site. Another big thing is how they have the website gravicon beside each link. I typically go for very simplified looks with my website and I find Gawker just looks very clean. * Hope this helps. * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-for-linking-websites/#post-4234770) * Those are called Hamburger Menus or Hamburger Style Menus, which makes it a bit difficult to search for. I think Genesis themes may have a mobile version. I really don’t know of any plugin that does this, which doesn’t mean there isn’t. You might also search for widgets and themes.
