Links Description?

  • Hey All,
    Can anybody point me in the right direction for the following:
    On my homepage, in the links column, I would like the description of the link to show up, but I can’t seem to get it to show anything but the name. An example of what I want is at Todd Dominey’s site, in the left column titled “Enjoying”.
    Any ideas?

  • Have you tried putting what you want into the ‘description’ line when adding the link ?
    It works for me ?

    kai,
    Go into your WP admin UI, and then choose LINKS > LINK CATEGORIES. The fourth column from the left is SHOW DESC? and likely all of your categories show ‘N’ in this field. Change that to ‘Y’, and then ensure that you have added a description like podz suggested above and you will see your descriptions.

    Thanks for the help…I’d actually done all of those steps but had put the description into the notes textbox rather than the description.
    One last question, is there a function that can limit which categories of links get spit out on the homepage? On the homepage I’d only like one category output.
    Cheers.
    Kai


    <?php wp_get_links(#)?>

    replace # with the id for the category you want to display (the id numbers are displayed on the Links->Link Categories page)

    Ahh, thanks!!

    Last question of kai’s has been added to the Wiki under WordPress Tips.
