Incoming links are not displaying

I’m trying to find orphaned content on my site, but the number of incoming links to each blog post isn’t displaying on my dashboard. I have already gone to SEO-> General -> Tools and the Text Link Counter is on. I have also looked in ‘screen options’ at the top of my Posts page, and there is no checkbox for incoming links. Outgoing internal links are counted fine, and displayed as a column on my Posts page. I can send you screen shots of what I am seeing if that would help. How can I make the incoming links appear please?

Thanks for sharing the relevant screenshots with us. Per your screenshots, you haven’t performed the SEO data optimization. We recommend you please run the SEO data optimization from the SEO → Tools page and that shall bring back the incoming links column in the overview page for you.

I ran the SEO data optimization and this is what it looked like when it was done:

Then, I went back to my posts and nothing had changed. No new fields…

When I go back to the screen with the data optimization option it looks like I never ran it:

Thanks for your clarification and for sharing all the relevant screenshots with us. It looks like there’s a conflict as the SEO data optimization isn’t completing on your website and as such, you’re experiencing the issue.

So, we’d like you to please perform a conflict at this moment to see whether you can perform the SEO data optimization correctly and the SEO data optimization remains completed when refreshing the relevant page.

Running the plugin conflict solved the problem! I don’t know what the problem actually was, but the incoming links are showing up now after running the plugin. Thank you so much for your assistance!

The problem is back! After I closed out of WordPress and then logged back in today the internal links button has disappeared. I am so frustrated. Can you please help? Thank you.
