 * Hi,
 * We had to recreate from scratch an existing website which is using Link Library.
   We’ve exported all the links, librarys and settings to the new site. We had to
   manually change the category id references in the Library Configurations > Common
   options and all shortcodes from existing pages that referenced them.
 * The plugin is not displaying links. It appears to be doing something as we see
   debug info in the location where the shortcode is defined. Things like this:
 * <!– Library Settings Info:Array
    ( [num_columns] => 3 [showdescription] => 1 [
   shownotes] => etc…
 * Have we missed something?
 * Regards,
    Peter

 * Hi there Peter, are you seeing this debug information on the page itself, or 
   only when you look at the sources of the page? This debug info should not be 
   visible on pages themselves.
 * I would try to reset the library settings and see if anything displays with all
   settings set to default. If it does, then one thing you could to is to export
   that current library configuration and compare it with your other exported library
   configuration. This will help you spot things that are different. You could even
   try to bring in items from the desired configuration into the working one bit
   by bit until you get a working site or identify the problematic option.

 * We had to configure all the settings manually from scratch and it resolved itself.
