I am using widgets – I’ll check out your new version, that’s great, thanks ??

Have you added the “My Link Order” widget to your sidebar in the widgets control screen? It’s easy to forget that step, then spend ages wondering why it isn’t working :p

Want to let us know if we can get the plugin from you? I’m having a huge nightmare with this at the moment – I bet lots of people would be grateful ??

I fixed my problem.

For posterity, in case anyone else has the same:

I’d originally created photo blogs – the pictures by renaming the original link category that comes installed with WP. I have now transferred all the links in that category over to a newly-created one, so there’s nothing left in the original one, and it’s solved the problem.

It took me a moment to remember to move the my link order widget over too :p

I’m having a problem with this plugin though. I’ve had the same problem since 2.3.2, and it’s continued over to 2.5.1.

Most of my link categories are fine, but when I go into 1 specific one to re-order links after adding new ones, it calls up all the links from 3 different categories, all jumbled together in a weird higgledy-piggledy way. I have to try to re-order the links that should be in that category as best I can, then go into the other 2 categories and re-order them again, because they have been messed up by working on the other one, iyswim.

To illustrate: my blog is https://www.catherinebuca.com/blog The offending link category, on the right, is “photography”. Whenever I go into that to re-order, it lists all the links in that category, plus all the links in “photo blogs – the pictures” and “photo blogs – the words”. They are all out of order and mingled together. I try to order the “photography” links as best I can, but saving then messes up the link order of “photo blogs – the pictures” and “….. the words”. I have to go back into them individually, and re-order everything in them, which is a pita. This doesn’t happen with any of the other categories. I can’t work out why it’s happening.

Any ideas?

Just wanted to say a big thank you to this topic – I’ve been looking for a way to do this too. It’s a shame WP doesn’t build in the ability to do it themselves.

Works great in 2.3.2.

I’m having similar problems. I haven’t updated though, I’m still using 2.3.2.

I believe in my case it’s a problem with Firefox 3 beta latest build. I can use the stats fine in Safari.

The problem I experience is it asks for my .com password, and when I log in it opens another frame, within the normal dashboard, with my .com profile/pages inside. No way to navigate to stats.

I’m not too worried because I’ll just use Safari, but it might be worth changing browsers?

I’ve given up on trying to work out what happened. I’ve exported my entries, un-installed wp and re-installed, importing entries back. Obviously, this solved the problem.

Luckily I didn’t have much. It would be good to know what others could do if they faced the same problem though – for those with a lot of content where a re-installation isn’t practical.

I’m not marking the topic as resolved, because the initial problem was unanswered.
