When you click on the Home link, this will navigate to the plugins homepage which includes instructions, similar to these, on how to use the plugin.

Post Links



Click the Post Links menu to navigate you to the page that will display all of your blog websites published posts’ URL's. Note that for the purposes of this guide, we are using our blog test site with just a few links 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.

Underneath the URL's list, you will see that LinkGather has also added up how many post links you have.

You then also have the ability to download the articles in Google Spreadsheets style.

Page Links



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

JetPack URLs



The option for wp.me Links is again exactly the same instructions as those above, however, JetPack URL's are actually built in short links created by the original site JetPack software. 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 links.

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 option will bring back all those JetPack URL's that it has gathered:
