Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Simple Link Directory - AI Powered

No. It is a pro version feature at the moment. But in the future, we have plans to make it available in the free version as well. I cannot have more than 1 columns To display more than one column, you need to create multiple Lists and choose to Show All Lists from the shortcode generator. A single list will always show in a single column. I’m having trouble grasping the use of categories. It seems like and that they can only be assigned to a list rather than a specific link. The base pillars of SLD are Lists, not individual links. The most common use case scenario of SLD is to create and display multiple Lists of many Links on specific topics. As such, there is no option for a Link (list item) to belong to multiple Lists or Categories. That would make the process of creating Lists slower. For each link you would have to select a List and a Category from drop downs despite the chances of a single List item to belong to multiple Lists are usually not that high. When you have dozens or hundreds of Lists that would become a real issue to create or manage your Lists.

Items in lists can be paginated in the pro version. This option is available in the shortcode generator. But you can also add the parameters manually. Values: “true”, “false”. This option will allow you to paginate list items. It will break the list page wise. Example: paginate_items=“true”. You also need to add the parameter per_page. This option indicates the number of items per page. Default is “5”. paginate_items=“true” is required to get this parameter working. Example: per_page=“5” Lists themselves cannot be paginated as the main concept of SLD is to be a Simple, One Page Directory. I have a list to import but it does not work and there is no message saying why my import does not work. The most common reason for failed import is encoding. The CSV file itself and characters in it must be in utf-8 format. Please check your CSV file for any unusual/non-utf-8 characters. If the problem persists, please email us the CSV file.

Like many, if not most, WordPress plugins SLD uses custom posts and WordPress creates slug URLs even though they are not being used by SLD at the moment. We are working on making use of them. But rest assured they are not harmful. They are generally not linked from anywhere and not indexed by Google. The only exception is if you have an XML sitemap generator that automatically scans and generates Links to these slug URLs. Yoast SEO plugin does that. You can exclude those slugs from xml sitemap. Go to Yoast->XML Sitemap->Post Types tag and select Manage List Items (sld) to Not in sitemap – then Save.

Log in to your WordPress admin area and go to the Plugins management page. Deactivate and Delete the old version of the plugin (don’t worry – your data is safe) Upload and Activate the latest pro version of the plugin You are done.

You have to put the short code on the WordPress oage or post page where you want to show the List/s. There is a Shortcode generator in your page or post visual editor. Use that to create shortcode and insert to your page, where you want to display the lists, easily.

Yes, all templates are mobile device friendly and Responsive.

You can change the language texts from the Settings area. Currently, multi language is not supported.
