This is really a disappointment from such a great, reliable plugin.

Why, why, why would they do this? Ok…I understand…they are considering the lowest common denominator—general purpose users-but still at least make it an option (Check here to auto format your form).

I hope the developers fix this. This is going to compromise a lot of existing sites, right??????

Here is my workaround:

.wpcf7-form-control-wrap br {display: none!important;}

Reason:
1) Editing the core plugin file will just result in it being overwritten the next time you run the update.

2) The wp-config.php edit didn’t work either, which seems like another issue in and of itself.

3) I can insert my own <br class=”myBreak” /> and make those appear where I want them.

May be time to look for a better plugin. Suggestions?

C’est la vie.

Hello everyone!
The WP-Multicollinks plugin works pretty well but it just flows the links horizontally, this is actually really easy to do with CSS. Don’t get me wrong it is a great plugin.

However, I have been looking for a similar solution but I want the links to be evenly distributed between 3 columns and it lists them like so:

(Column 1)  (Column 2)  (Column 3)
Link 1        Link 4        Link 7
Link 2        Link 5        Link 8
Link 3        Link 6        Link 9

So I have cooked up a solution I want to share. I’m not a PHP ‘Expert’ by any means but this is working well for me.

Keep in mind you will need to alter it somewhat for 2 or 4 columns.

<?php
$term = get_term(2,'link_category') ;

$columns = round($term->count / 3);
$col1ct = $columns+1;
$col2ct = ($columns * 2)+1;

$linkCount = 1;

echo "<div id=\"linkCols\"><div id=\"col1\" class=\"col\">";

$linksX = get_bookmarks( array());
      foreach ($linksX as $bookmark){       

      	if($linkCount == $col1ct){
      		echo "</div><div id=\"col2\" class=\"col\">";
      	}
      	elseif ($linkCount == $col2ct){
      		echo "</div><div id=\"col3\" class=\"col\">";
      	}
      	?>
                <a id='relatedlinks' href="<?php echo $bookmark->link_url; ?>" target=_blank>
                          <?php echo $bookmark->link_name; ?>
                      </a> <br /><br />
                    <?php 

        if($linkCount == $term->count){
      		echo "</div></div>";
      	}
      	      	$linkCount++;
      	}

        ?>

I put this code directly into a page template—you could easily create a function or a shortcode I imagine.

If you have any questions I will do my best to check this post.
I hope this helps.

Bump.
I had to reinstall a previous version of this plugin when I absentmindedly updated this plugin through the dashboard.

Warning – after updating the “last item” feature doesn’t work so exisiting live sites that use this with CSS styling will see the last items in their menus and such change.

Any updates on this?

I’m using this plugin with wordpress MU 2.8.6 and the last item class is working?

Any updates? Ideas on how to fix?

Thanks in advance.
