We’ve previously showed you how to use the WordPress Links Manager to store and manage a list of links, we’ve also covered how to use wp_list_bookmarks() from the Links Manager API.
We saw that we can do many things with this function, but it’s not perfect for all cases. In this article, I’ll show you how to use the other functions contained in the WordPress Links Manager API.
Contrary to wp_list_bookmarks(), these functions don’t display the links: they return them and you decide if you want to display them and how, in a much more precise way than using the options of wp_list_bookmarks().
