Overview
In WordPress 3.5, the Link Manager (which some use to build blogrolls) will
be disabled by default. If you have links when you update, it’ll still be there.
But you can use this plugin to ensure it will always be there, even if you
update to a later version of WordPress or remove all of your current links.

Works on WP 6.1
by lenasterg·3 years ago
It still works with WordPress 6.1
Neat little plugin
by chrisconcoco·3 years ago
Does what it says on the tin, and lets you categorise and organise links.
If it was not for this nonsensical ‘rating’, and especially the output (a number value), which cannot be turned off, this would be 100% the plugin I require. Can this be fixed?

Still works on the latest versions of WordPress and does what it says on the tin! Thanks for this 🙂
