Recently updated links not showing

You also need to make sure the links-update-cache.xml file under /wp-content/ is writable (chmod 766).
Note that’s links-update-cache.xml not link-update-cache.xml

ok, that’s one thing I didn’t do. It’s now done, but I’m still not seeing updated links get flagged (I waited until one got updated to make sure :)). Is there something else I’ve missed?
BTW, is there a reason the file is set to owner executable?

No idea about permissions, but are the other links pinging weblogs.com (or pingomatic which covers weblogs.com) ?
If not, they won’t move.

I’m having the same problem. With 1.0 you could uncomment some lines in index.php, I’m not seeing those anymore. I also tried installing Carthik’s Update Linkroll Plugin, but that seems to break something. Any other ideas?

Well, it seems to be working now. It looks like inserting
include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.’/links-update-xml.php’);
in line 4 of index.php did the trick.

Thanks, I’ve added that line. Now I’m tapping my foot waiting for one of my linked blogs to do an update to see if it works ??

Where do you insert the:

include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.’/links-update-xml.php’);

Thanks!

You could just do a cron job. No need to run the file on every page load.

As for where to put it, you can put it just about anywhere, index, footer, sidebar, wherever.

I finally did just do a cron job. It seems the plugin I was using to update my linkroll doesn’t work with V1.5. Thanks Beel!

What I would like to do now is change the symbols that show up on my recently updated blogs. Any idea how to do that??

In the link options

I have scoured my link options. I see no where to change what shows up when your linkroll reads are updated.

Well I’ll be! You may have found an ommission. I hadn’t changed anything in my links in the past couple of upgrades so I didn’t realize it was missing.

If you have access to the database you can enter the link to your link image in “links_recently_updated_append” in wp-options. If you want characters to surround the link you can enter one there and one in “links_recently_updated_prepend”

Okay, I’m still learning to work with my WP database. I’m currently in wp-options but not sure where to go now Beel. Can you offer some more assistance? I would really appreciate it!

Ah! Never mind! Just got it! Thanks so much for the help Beel!
