[Plugin: My Link Order] not working in either 2.8.4 or 2.8.6

You either have to modify your template or swap out the Links widget with the My Link Order widget. If you aren’t using widgets then you’ll need this at a minimum:

wp_list_bookmarks('orderby=order&category_orderby=order');

aha, didn’t see “My LInk Order” under widgets. got it working, very nice, thanks

Hello

I have WordPress 2.9.1 with Thesis theme. I love the idea of your plug in as would like to change the order of my links in the sidebar widget although I can’t seem to get it to work. When I add the category I would like to show having changed the order successfully in my link order – every time I save it removes the tick from ‘link by name’.

At the moment I have reverted back to the default ‘link’ widget but wondered if anybody could help me get this to work successfully.

Many thanks

jennyrrr,

I just responded by email to your comment on your blog, but this additional information helps. The checkboxes are definitely not working anymore so I’ll try and get that fixed quickly.

I just installed it on WPMU 2.86 and the link order works fine, but I can’t get the CATEGORIES to display in “my order”.

Looks like all the other sort options work. I added the category IDs to the field for the categories to be included in the order I want them, but the categories are displayed in the ID order instead of MY order.

Am I missing something?

Thanks, Christine

Christine, I’ve never tested my plugins on WPMU, but I’ve heard that they “should work”.

Are you using widgets or modifying your theme? If theme do you have something like this:

wp_list_bookmarks('orderby=order&category_orderby=order');

No, I’m using widgets. And I’m so happy to have the links ordered by ID and as a workaround I suppose I could do that for the categories and set them up in the order I want. But since it’s a news site, I need to change the category order occasionally.

Also, maybe it will fix itself as the codes are merged with 3.0?

My guess is the filter I use to hook into the category ordering hasn’t been included in WPMU. When 3.0 comes out and they get merged then it should work no problem.

I just looked at everything again and don’t know what happened, but it works now.

Great plugin, thanks!
