Bookmarks Shortcode

My theme includes a links page template. Why do I need this plugin?

This plugin is more flexible then the Links page template. You can use any of the three shortcodes within a post, page, text widget, media, etc. You can also add other content surrounding the list, also when you change themes there is no need to edit the page.

Can I use the shortcodes in text widgets?

If you wish to use these shortcodes in the sidebar text widgets, add this code to a site-specific plugin or as a code snippet:

add_filter( 'widget_text', 'shortcode_unautop' );
add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );

Keep in mind that doing this will allow you to use all shortcodes in text widgets, not only the ones added by this plugin
