 * Hello,
    Once I have the settings configured (ie: Library names; included categories,
   etc) is there a way to export/import the settings …even if it involves database
   queries and export/import of sql files? Thank you.
 * Patrick

 * Yes, just head over to the import / export settings tab of Library Configurations.
   Let me know if this helps and please consider donating to support this plugin’s

 * Would you mind calrfiying the functionality of the Library Configurations – Import/
   Export Settings feature?
 * Does it export and import categories and tags? Does it export and import names
   and ids (or numbers)?
 * I am most grateful. Thank you!

 * The Library Configuration section imports and exports all information contained
   in Library Configurations, including the IDs of the categories that might have
   been selected to be displayed or not. Now, if you try to load this configuration
   file on a different site where you’ve re-created the same categories through 
   manual entry or importing of links, it is quite possible that the categories 
   won’t line up and you will need to re-select categories to be shown or hidden.
 * Links and names of categories are NOT exported or imported with this feature.
   There are export and import functions for links and their categories in the Global
   Options section of Link Library.
 * Let me know if this helps and please consider donating to support this plugin’s
   development.
