wp_get_linksbyname doesn’t work anymore

  • I just upgradeed WP2.0.6 to 2.1.2. Everything went fine except one thing.

    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?

    wp_get_linksbyname() has been deprecated. You should switch to using wp_list_bookmarks() instead.

    Why can’t they just keep the old one.. It did work, didn’t it? ??

    Thanks for your help Otto42.

    Hey! It did only take 35 minutes to get everything to work, just some small design-errors left. Thanks for the headache.

    A lot of the Links related stuff changed. A lot of it is still changing. Expect more changes.

    Don’t like ’em? Don’t upgrade to 2.1.x. 2.0.x is still around and still being supported.
