In 2.2.1 I modified widgets.php in “includes” to this:

wp_list_bookmarks(array(
‘title_before’ => $before_title, ‘title_after’ => $after_title,
‘category_before’ => $before_widget, ‘category_after’ => $after_widget,
‘show_images’ => true, ‘class’ => ‘linkcat widget’,
‘show_description’ => $after_title
));

The “Show Description” line is what I added. Worked for me.

This same thing just happened to me with the upgrade to 2.2.1 – it turns out all of my pages were marked as “post-type” “post”. I changed the “post-type” to “page” and it fixed the problem. (https://www.serdinsky.org/blog/?p=258)

I was looking for the same thing but have found a workaround. I added a free javascript feed from Syndicated Sports (https://www.syndicatedsports.com/) into my sidebar and it looks pretty good. You can see what I did here: https://serdinsky.org/blog/

This is working correctly now without any changes – I have to assume there was a problem on the mailserver at this point.
