WP Link Directory Manual
Welcome to the installation manual of WP Link Directory. Actually, it is super easy to install the plugin and run it, but in case if you experience any technical difficulty, feel free to refer to the following manual:
1. Upload everything to your web server!
Just upload everything up. Yes, everything except install.txt and readme.txt.
2. Go to your plugin page, activate the plugin!
3. Chmod “directory/temp” folder to 777 and also files in it.
4. Go to Link Manager page, and start playing it!
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Does the script require any special requirements?
Well, a Wordpress system is needed definitely. Other than that, hopefully you have an Apache that runs PHP4 and MySQL 4.1 or above. You should have GD 2 enabled, PHP Safe Mode disabled in order for the plugin to work well.
2. Where do I access the directory?
The default location is the /directory folder. So, if you uploaded everything and activated as told, then you should visit http://www.yourdomain.com/directory/.
3. Can I change the directory folder to something else?
Certainly, you can change it to /links; you can change it to /classified, whatever you want. 
4. How I can change the style of the directory?
The stylesheet is located at /directory/style.css. Simply open it and edit to your favour.
5. My directory makes my blog layout looks weird and messy!
Well, every blog has different layout and structure, so we cannot have default layout done that suits every blog. But, I have tested this directory on many themes, including the default kubrick, and there’s no problem. If you have problem regarding to customising the template, you can download the template pack for some of the common used themes.
If you have any problem with layout, please open directory/index.php and arrange it accordingly. Refer to your Wordpress template (index.php), that is the main template file and see the arrangement. Usually it is caused by the mis-placement of sidebar.php and footer.php, etc. I have tested the script using many templates and they all work well!
The default template assumes you having sidebar at the right hand side, but if your blog has left hand sidebar, simply change that in index.php. If you experience blank page, that is caused by mis layout. So, just edit the directory/index.php to suit your site theme.
The easiest way to get this sorted out is go to your template editor in wp-admin -> Presentation, and then click on the main index link template. Then find out what is the div around your main post:
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
Some themes tend to have div id=”content” around it, while some have different. For example, the “Pool” theme uses div id=”noticias” around it. So, what you need to do is copy that div and then go to the directory/index.php and replace
div id="content" class="narrowcolumn"
with it.
6. How do I modify the sender email address for the notification email template?
You can edit it by going to wp-admin/link-exchange-inbox.php and replace “From: do-not-reply@yahoo.com” with your own blog email address. Also, open /directory/headerfunc.inc.php and do the same replacement.
7. Why can’t I see the category description?
You will have to go to setting page in wp-admin -> Link Exchange, and set to display category description. It’s hidden by default.
