WordPress, as awesome as it may be, has it’s funny streaks – with all due respect to the developers who have done some very respectable work. As of version 3.5, the “Link Manager” no longer appears on new installs, and that of course just after I decided to use “Link Manager” for my Links Page.
It can be brought back with a plugin, but why install yet another plugin when the code appears to still exist in the WordPress distribution?
A simple one-liner fixes this problem …
Like I just said; the code still seems to exist in the WordPress distribution.
When updating an existing install to 3.5 then you will notice that Link Manager still remains available and functional.
After downloading the plugin and looking at the code, things became clear and it confirmed my suspicion.
Simply add the following code to the functions.php file of your theme and Link Manager will be back …
2
add_filter( 'pre_option_link_manager_enabled', '__return_true' );
WordPress – Link Manager is back!
