There’s something wrong with wp_get_linksbyname.
The theme is exactly the same it was before the upgrade.

I use this tag:
<?php wp_get_linksbyname(‘My Friends’) ?>
to get a list of links to my friends. But it doesn’t work anymore. WordPress lists all links in all categories.

It doesnt matter if I change (‘My Friends’) to another of my categories. It does still show all the links.

Anyone know how to fix this?

With the “wp_get_linksbyname” tag I can get the list of links to display properly, but not the category name.

I want the category name to display above the list.

Ideas?

This would allow one to perform custom display of links, without messing with SQL.

I’m missing the ability of alternate coloring of links without using client side javascript. And having a function to access the links without needing to perform SQL would make things a lot prettier. Also the existing get_links function should be able to reuse this new function.

The problem is with the after and before where I want them enclosed in list tags. What’s the proper way to pass the list tags in?

I’ve created a links category named the same as authors loginname.

<h5>Favourites of <?php echo $curauth->user_firstname; ?></h5>
<ul>
<?php wp_get_linksbyname('<?php echo $curauth->user_login; ?>') ?>
</ul>

Any suggestions?
