I’ve responded to your thread on the WP forums, see here..

You can do what you want from the plugin’s settings page..
EDIT: Following the CSS suggestion, if you wanted to try this method.
- Leave the fields as they were
- Update the
<ul>
field to now read<ul id="my_special_id">
- Update your theme’s style.css file with the below.
Example CSS.
#my_special_id,
#my_special_id li { display:inline; }
#my_special_id li a { margin-right: 5px; }
Which should result in the list items displaying side by side. The margin is to push the items away from one another, else they’ll look like one long sting..
The {link}
text is basically just a placeholder for output produced by the plugin, not much different to how a shortcode works…
