Great Plugin!
by Cking·10 years ago

Many thanks to the author of this great and easy to use plugin!

Stopped working…
by AsaHersh·10 years ago·1 reply

Compatible up to 4.2.7.. we are now at 4.4.2…
Suddenly started throwing 404 errors on all links, after installation of latest wordpress.
Was a great substitute for defunct “blog roll”..
Now what to do!

Very good, but not accessible
by Batyu-vitez·10 years ago·1 reply

It’s a very good and reliable plugin.

A would add two points to develop even better:
1. Make itt accessible. Many people cannot use mouse, only keyboard.
2. Alternative text before link. If you do not want to add a text to the link, you may enter text before it.
