Getting Error Message In Post Pages – LinkClass Notice

Hi srinivas08,

I assume you’re using a shortcode link in your post/page.. can you please paste the shortcode for me?

Thanks,
Josh

I am creating links using affiliate links plugin , and just searching the affiliate link and adding in post .
Here is a code which was automatically generated in my post when i added an link in post :

[thirstylink linkid=”872″ linktext=”Signup Now For Adda52 Here” class=”thirstylink” title=”Signup Now For Adda52 Here”]

Here are some screenshots :

Hi srinivas08,

The first screenshot notice is just a debug tool we’ve created to inspect links when we’re assisting people. It normally wouldn’t show unless you have WP_DEBUG mode enabled in your wp-config.php file. Is this the case?

In any case, this is a small display bug which we will fix on the next release, but it’s safe to ignore.

The actual problem though is your link doesn’t have a name or destination URL, both of which are required. Please add those in and don’t forget the http

Cheers,
Josh

Here is the actual error showing uon all my post using affiliate links through thirsty plugin :

I Opened WordPress Plugin ,Found this Line 14 :

// Remove linkid, linktext and linkclass to get final link attributes
$linkAttributes = array_diff_assoc($atts, array(‘linkid’ => $linkid, ‘linktext’ => $linktext,‘linkclass’ => $linkclass));

As , there was error with Linkclass , I removed the piece of code and made it as shown below :

// Remove linkid, linktext and linkclass to get final link attributes
$linkAttributes = array_diff_assoc($atts, array('linkid' => $linkid, 'linktext' => $linktext));

Now, Error has disappeared , But I dont think this is a good fix to this problem !

Hi srinivas08,

What versions of WP and PHP are you using? Is your WP_DEBUG setting off in wp-config.php?

It’s no problem to fix it like this, linkclass is only there for backwards compatibility from version 1 (ancient, very few will actually be using this but we have to keep it in unfortunately!)

I’ll put in a ticket to have some additional safeguards put in which should get rid of this error, so on your next upgrade it will be resolved.

Message back here if it doesn’t resolve though…

Cheers,
Josh
