19h47/Link 🔗

Initially built for the J'veux être bonne Blog, Link is a WordPress plugin for create a custom post type and a custom category associate to Link. Link CPT is like the good old blogroll. Blogroll isn't supported anymore in WordPress, it's in source code but only for backward compatibility purpose.

This is the purpose of this plugin: bring back to life blogroll! 🙏

Feature

A Link can have:

• an URL, save as link_url in post_meta,

• a color, save as link_color in post_meta,

• a description, save as link_description in post_meta,

• For image the custom post type used the built in thumbnail functionality.

• The link plugin offers the possibility to order links in backoffice. Thanks to menu_order.

• The plugin bring a Link shortcode that display Link post. The shortcode takes two parameters:
