Say hello to a new, better organized, settings page. Settings are now organized by context, with many of the advanced, infrequently used settings sitting under the advanced tab. In the process of updating the settings page, the underlying plugin core was updated to the latest mtekk_adminKit, which already ships with Breadcrumb NavXT.
Additionally, WP Lynx now supports capturing a screenshot of a website and using that as the thumbnail image. This is provided though Snapito!, you’ll need to grab an API key for it to work. Note that the site screenshot will always be the second image in a thumbnail set, unless no other thumbnails were found. Also note that the initial loading of a screenshot may take several seconds. Please wait for the screenshot to load in the window before inserting the lynx print to ensure WP Lynx can cache the image properly.
Lastly, a few tweaks were made to the scraping engine to fix the causes of PHP notices in cases where something went wrong in retrieving a site.
Note that this release is the first in a series of planned releases between now and 1.0. Each will add a minor number of features, tracked in the WP Lynx GitHub Repository.

Hi, Thanks for such a nice plugin. However, could you make the link page open in tab or window instead of opening in the same tab or window. Thanks a lot.
Sorry for typos “open in new tab or window” may kindly be read.
Well, that is something you should not be doing. It’s very annoying, let the user decide what they want to do (I right click “open in new tab” all the time, and absolutely loath people who force new windows to open).
That said, check out the “Lynx Print Template” under the Content tab in the WP Lynx settings page. You should be able to modify the template to cause the anchor to open the link in a new window.

How can I resolve this error, WordPress 3.7.1

Maik,
This looks to be an issue with your webhost’s PHP configuration. While you could remove the the “CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION” it is best to keep it in for functionality reasons (it allows CURL to follow HTTP redirects). Please see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10103571/curlopt-followlocation and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10138289/curl-setopt-curlopt-followlocation-issue-with-tcpdf for more information.

Hello ,
Weeks ago I have asked for your permission to translate your WP Lynx plugin in Spanish and I didn’t hear any from you since. I hope that you will find time to provide the reply, because we believe that the translation would be of a great use.
All the best,
Andrew Kurtis

Hi Andrew,
Sorry for taking forever to reply, if you would send me an email (address is same as google talk address) I’ll try setting up a glotpress translation project for WP Lynx this Friday and grant you validator permissions for the Spanish translation.
Note that a rewrite of the majority of WP Lynx is in progress and hopefully I will be able to release a new version in late May.
