WordPress Curated Lists (CMCLM) - Set Up - Adding Link Entries
Adding Link Entries
What Are Links
Link entries are the content you are showcasing. These are URLs that direct site visitors to the specific content in a category. Entries don't have to contain URLs, but it certainly enhances the list and makes it more useful.
One example of a single link with title, subtitle, video, colors, and additional links.
