FAQ

Does this plugin cache the list of bookmarks?

Yes, lists are cached for one hour. If necessary, you can manually refresh a list of bookmarks. Adding a get variable (?wppb-refresh=1) to the URL of a page will refresh the cache of any lists of bookmarks on that particular page.

Simple shortcode but works!

Used the shortcode in two sidebar widgets, it works, seems fine. I like the ability to change parameters (show/hide user, order by random, limit the no). Thank you!
