Hello,
I’m trying to display a 2-level list of links:
Cat 1
Cat 2
I want to include all of Cat 1, and sort and break on Cat 2, which is configured as a child of Cat 1. If I select Cat 2 for the link, no category shows. If I select only Cat 1, then I get everything with that parent category and no breaks on Cat 2. If I select both I get the Cat 1 records, listing Cat 1 on the break.
What is the correct configuration for this? I saw a post where I believe that this same problem manifested. The only answer was “it was another plugin”. Do you know of plugins that might interfere? It’s not like it’s complicated to set up.
I appreciate your assistance on this.

By default this plugin works by only including links for selected categories. Unless “Include links assigned to child categories of selected categories” is selected, this will work as requested.
Please try having the following settings selected only:
If you are using a short-code it would look something like this:
[simple-links category="19,21" display_links_by_category="true" display_category_title="true"]I am not aware of any plugins which interfere currently, but if you can send a link to the post where the same problem manifested I may be able to shed some light if that is related.
Have a great night!

Thank you for the tips, it’s working fine.
I did notice one issue. When I’m editing the links in my page, Preview shows an extra line break between the link and the description (link + \n\n + description). When it’s previewed or opened, it shows link + \n + description. I’m sure that you already know this one.
Take care and thanks for the help.
