    Custom code your link template

    Need more than the template styling settings and Link Template Editor? It’s also possible to code your own visual link template.

    Section titled “Adding a custom link template”

    You will need to create the following directory structure in your (child) theme:

    /vlp-templates/link/your-custom-template/

    Inside that folder, create the following files:

    • your-custom-template.php
    • your-custom-template.css

    These will automatically get loaded when the template is used. your-custom-template can be any name you want. Just make sure the file names match with the directory name.

    /visual-link-preview/templates/link/
