When you click on the Home option, this will navigate to the plugins developer page which supplies instructions, similar to these, on how to use the plugin.

Post Links


Push the Post Links offering to move you to the page that will show all of your blog websites published posts’ URL. Be aware that for the purposes of this guide, we are using our demo test site with just a few URLs in it.

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

At the bottom of the link table, you should see that LinkGather has also added up how many post links you have.

You then also have the option to download the articles in Excel design.

Page Links


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

wp.me Links


The option for JetPack URLs is again exactly the same instructions as those above, but, JetPack URL's are actually built in short links created by the JetPack plugin. If you have the JetPack plugin installed, you must have the short LinkGather 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.

Hoping that you have JetPack short links enabled, clicking on our plugins wp.me Links title will bring back all those JetPack URL's that it has gathered:
