Clicking on the Home offering, this will take you to the plugins home page which includes instructions, similar to these, on how to use the plugin.

Post Links


Click the Post Links title to navigate you to the page that will show all of your blog websites published posts’ URL. Be aware that for the purposes of these instructions, we are using our WordPress test site with just a few URL's in it.

You will now see a list with two columns, one for the title of your posts and another for the links of your posts. Depending on how many posts you have will depend on how long this list will be.

Underneath the URL list, you should see that LinkGather has also calculated how many post links you have.

You then also have the option to download the posts in Google Spreadsheets style.

Page Links


The instructions above is exactly the same for Page Links, but instead of bringing back published links, it will bring back published pages instead:

JetPack Links


The option for JetPack ShortLinks is again exactly the here same method as those above, but, JetPack Links are actually built in short links created by the JetPack plugin. If you have the JetPack plugin installed, you must have the short links option also enabled for our plugin to be able to gather those URLs.

If you do not have the JetPack short links module enabled, our plugin will just pull back basic post links instead.

Assuming that you have JetPack short links enabled, clicking on our plugins wp.me Links menu will bring back all those JetPack Links that it has gathered:
