There are plenty of occasions where I’d love to use a plugin from another developer, but I need to disable links that the plugin creates. For instance, Genesis Responsive Slider is awesome, but sometimes I don’t want the links to be active. I just want to show the slider content. LinkBuster will allow you to specify a CSS Path (a div class or ID, etc) and will replace all the hrefs with # so they links are effectively disabled.
The plugin creates a widget. That widget can be placed in any widget area. Multiple LinkBuster widgets can be used to disable links in separate CSS paths.

Link Buster

Creates a widget that allows an admin to specify a CSS Path. In that CSS Path all links will be disabled.

This plugin is used to be able to create a page on your web site that will contain a list of all of the link categories that you have defined inside of the Links section of the WordPress administration, along with all links defined in these categories. The user can select a sub-set of categories to be displayed or not displayed. Link Library also offers a mode where only one category is shown at a time, using AJAX or HTML Get queries to load other categories based on user input. It can display a search box and find results based on queries. It can also display a form to accept user submissions and allow the site administrator to moderate them before listing the new entries. Finally, it can generate an RSS feed for your link collection so that people can be aware of additions to your link library.
You can try it out in a temporary copy of WordPress <a href="https://demo.tastewp.com/link-library" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.
For links that carry RSS feed information, Link Library can display a preview of the latest feed items inline with the all links or in a separate preview window.
This plugin uses the filter method to add contents to the pages. It also contains a configuration page under the admin tools to be able to configure all outputs. This page allows for an unlimited number of different configurations to be created to display links on different pages of a WordPress site.
For screenshots showing how to achieve these results, check out my <a href="https://github.com/ylefebvre/link-library/wiki" rel="nofollow ugc">site</a>
All pages are generated using different configurations all managed by Link Library. Link Library is compatible with the <a href="https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-post-order/" rel="nofollow ugc">Simple Custom Post Order</a> plugin to define category and link ordering.

Link Library


Nice plugin but throws 4 'Function wp_enqueue_style was called incorrectly' PHP Notices.



Would be nice to have the option to turn off the various scripts and styles it adds, as due to the above, you can't easily remove them with add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts' ... )


Needs a little TLC

The purpose of this plugin is to add the ability to output a list of link categories and a complete list of links with notes and descriptions.
