# Links gone?

 * At some point (not sure when) Link library seems to have lost track of my links.
   I can see them all in the database table, but clicking “All links” in WP-Admin
   results in a blank list.
 * Is there something I should be looking at in DB where Link Library references
   the DB table it’s looking for? Other possible fixes?
 * Thanks!

 * When you say that you are seeing all of the links in the database, are you referring
   to seeing them in the wp_links table? If so, that is the old location for the
   links for Link Library. Since version 6.0 (about 2 years ago), Link Library converted
   all link data to WordPress custom post types. The links therefore now live in
   the posts and post_meta tables.
 * If the update to this new format did not happen for you, you can always tell 
   the plugin to re-import your links by going to the Global Options of the Link
   Library menu and clicking on the “Re-import links” button. This will convert 
   all links over and you will then see them in the All Links section and they should
   appear on your site.
 * Let me know if you still encounter issues after re-importing your links. Please
   consider donating to support this plugin’s development. If you’ve already donated,
   thanks for your support!

 * Ha! Thanks Yannick! Guess it must have not happened. Can’t believe it’s been 
   that long. hahahah.
 * Anyway, that worked. Thanks very much!

 * Sorry for the trouble. Glad that did the trick! Welcome to the new Link Library

 * Not a problem [@yannick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yannick/). Just 
   glad the fix was easy. Was expecting to have to rename some DB tables or change
   some config properties. =)
 * So that old DB table can be deleted?

 * Well, the old table is still a part of the standard WordPress database, so it
   should be left there, but can be emptied. Other plugins might expect it to be
   there. The links_extrainfo table was specific to Link Library and can be deleted.
