    The links options have disappeared from the admin menus and trying to visit the page directly /wp-admin/link-manager.php

    Reports the error:

    You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.

    My user has the adminstrator role and could access links before upgrading from the to 3.5-RC1 (night of 21st Nov)

    Looking in the DB there is an option prefixwp_user_roles with a big long list of capabilities including “manage_links”.

    My user also has usermeta data

    prefixwp_capabilities a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;s:1:”1″;}
    prefiwp_user_level 10

    All the other menus seem to be there.

    Points to note: my database prefix has been configured, my admin user has been renamed.

    I downloaded the “Capability Manager Enhanced” plugin to have a look at my roles. The administrator role has all the boxes ticked.

    I also tried creating a new admin user with a different name but the problem occurs for that user too

    Checking my backups from the previous day my version number was 21707, so that’s why my setting was incorrectly set.

    As mentioned in the Trac ticket linked above, default links are removed if those are the only ones you have.

    That wasn’t actually done in 3.5.

    Here’s how it works:
    * New installs don’t have links enabled.
    * On upgrade (this one or any future one), if you have no links at all, then links become disabled again.

    If you wish to re-enable them, you can use the Link Manager plugin. Or, yes, change the link_manager_enabled option from 0 to 1.

    So, my question for @workshopshed is, did you have any links there before you updated to 3.5 RC1? If so, then we have a problem. If not, then that explains everything.

    I’m not sure if any of this information is useful or not, but I’ve done three things to experiment with this, this evening.

    1) I performed a fresh, clean install of 3.5 RC1, and the link manager was not available by default, as would be expected behavior.

    2) I performed a fresh, clean install of 3.4.2, and placed a blogroll widget in the sidebar of Twenty Eleven. The widget contained only the 7 default links one would expect to see there. I then upgraded to 3.5 RC1 using the WordPress Beta Tester plugin, and after the upgrade, the link manager was disabled.

    3) I performed another fresh, clean install of 3.4.2 and again placed a blogroll widget in the sidebar of Twenty Eleven. However this time, I added an additional link of my own. Again, I upgraded to 3.5 RC1 using the WordPress Beta Tester plugin, and after the upgrade, the link manager was once again disabled.

    Confirmed, thanks for the report.
