Dynamic Links with Live Screenshots for your WordPress Website

A WordPress plugin that allows you to create a dynamic link gallery with screenshots of each link. It will automatically create screenshots of each link and save you from creating a hardcoded links page or finding images for each site. It allows sites to create link displays with several different views. The screenshots for the links can be updated on a set schedule or with the click of a button. Links can be added and edited in the same way you add and edit posts.

  • Create a dynamic link gallery with screenshots of each link.
  • Links can be displayed in a grid or list with title and description.
  • Screenshots can be updated on schedule or on command.
  • A shortcode is provided to showcase your links anywhere on your site.

This plugin works well, but the developer could improve it, because it would be perfect if it could get a text field from an external website with the description of that website. This functionality is present in another plugin that does this. Furthermore, the author should update his website to HTTPS and then change the URL in the plugin description:We are here help answer any questions.

I started using this plugin to create a links page for all the hosted apps on my network. It lets me add custom icons for each link. The ability to modify the CSS means I’ve added some code to make the links look like buttons. This is a great plugin! I hope development continues forever!
