As of Version 3.5, the Links Manager and blogroll are hidden for new installs and any existing WordPress installs that do not have any links. If you are upgrading from a previous version of WordPress with any active links, the Links Manager will continue to function as normal. If you would like to restore the Links panel to your install you may download and install the Links Manager plugin. This page is still relevant for any user with an existing Links Manager or with the plugin installed.
Each Link in WordPress is filed under one or more Link Categories. This aids in navigation and allows Links to be grouped with others of similar content. In creating Link Categories, recognize that each Link Category name must be unique. This Screen allows you to create new Link Categories, and edit or delete existing ones.
Back to Administration Screens.
This Screen is divided into the Add Category and Link Categories Table sections.
Presented to the left of this Screen is the Add New Link Category section which allows you to create a new Link Category. There are three pieces of information associated with each new Link Category: the name, the slug, and the description.
This Table lists all of your Link Categories by row. Link Categories are displayed alphabetically.
The Table of Link Categories contains the following columns:
Some column headings, such as the Name, Description, Slug, and Links, can be clicked to sort the Table of Link Categories in ascending or descending order. Hover over the column title, for example Name, to see the up-arrow or down-arrow. Click the heading to change the sort order.
The Screen Options allow you to choose which columns are displayed, or not displayed, in the underlying Table. Clicking on the Screen Options tab shows a list of the columns with a check-box next to each column. Check the box for each column you want displayed in the Table, or uncheck the box to not display that column. Click the Screen Options tab again to close the Screen Options.
Above the Table, to the right, is a search box where you can enter a word, or series of words, and click the "Search Link Categories" button to search and display all the Link Categories meeting your search words.
This Screen is displayed when you select Edit Immediate Action or click on a Link Categories' Name in the Table of Link Categories. It is possible to edit three pieces of information associated with each Link Category: the name, the slug, and the description.
