• Hi Guys,

    I have updated my WP today to 2.8.5. Supposely it was a security update so I thought it won’t break anything,but it did. The My Link Order widget isn’t showing up links anymore. I have the patch for 2.8, I re-did it. Tried to deactivate and activate it again. No luck. The widget is there but the site shows no links at all. Any ideas? Without this plugin the order is just Alphabetical and that’s good for a book not a website.

  • I’m having the exact same issue. Anyone know of a solution for this?

    Visit the My Link Order page after upgrading, it needs to patch a file. Not ideal but bear with me, working on a new version that will eliminate that patching, add more options to the widget and allow multiple widgets.

    Hey, thanks for the reply. I tried to re-do all of my lists. Re-patched the file, but still it wont show up. Anyways it’s not that big of a deal as for now that the links will be mixed. As long as you know that the issue exists I am happy with that 🙂

    Thanks I missed that step of visiting the My Link Order page. After that everything works as normal for me. Thanks for the help!

    froman,

    call me an A-hole but for the life of me I can’t find the patch.

    Great plugin BTW. I love it. Once you finish/direct me to, the patch, I will make a donation for that beer I will be owing you.

    Nevermind, I am the A-hole I said I was. It works now. Beer is on the way.

    Hey guys how did i fix it. I revisit the My Link Order page, I even reordered the menus. I edited the taxonomy.php but when i put on the widget no menus show up still…

    xecutable,

    As long as you got the message that taxonomy.php was patched (are you editing it by hand?) everything should be working. If it’s not then I’m not sure what is going on.

    Oh there’s an actual patch? I am currently editing it by hand: my file starting line 683 looks like this:

    else if ( empty($_orderby) || ‘id’ == $_orderby )
    $orderby = ‘t.term_id’;
    else if ( ‘order’ == $_orderby )
    $orderby = ‘t.term_order’;

    used to work on 2.8.4 but nothing shows up on my sidebar with 2.8.5

    That should be okay. I’m working on a new version that will get rid of the patching so if you can wait a couple days this won’t be a problem anymore.

    Yeah of course, take your time =).

    The new version will be brilliant – I’m looking forward to it. I’ve been sorry to lose MLO, and am certainly not tecchy enough do do this patch thing.

    By the way, having multiple widgets will be a huge breakthrough. Thanks.

    Any information about the progress of the new version? In a mean time I tried uninstalling erasing the plugin then downloading it and installing it from scratch but again I can’t get it to show on my front page via the widget.

    Going to to try and get the new plugins out this weekend. Not sure why it isn’t working for you now, it’s compatible with 2.8.5.

    Hmmm I wonder if I should replace the taxonomy.php with the default one and let the addon patch it itself instead of me editting it manually …

    P.S I did, it patched the file, yet it shows nothing on my sidebar 🙁
    I am out of ideas what could be the problem
