 * Hi,
 * after update to 4.9.1 from 4.85 my lists are empty with message “No links found”.
   But in the category lists it still shows the correct number.

 * Best wishes and thx for great plugin.

 * Hi Daniel,
 * How did you upgrade to the latest Link Library version? Did you use the WordPress
   upgrade mechanism or did you upload the new files via FTP? If you did the latter,
   please try deactivating and reactivating the plugin since the data schema changed
   between versions.

 * Also, if you can temporarily turn on debug mode under the Link Library general
   settings, it would allow me to see a bit more about what is happening in the 
   background. Debug mode adds comments with some debug data to your page’s output.

 * Hi Yannick,
 * yes that was the solution! Thx. Deactivating and activating turned it on asgain.
   Concerning your questions:
 * a) I used the WordPress integrated update mechanism.
    b) Debug mode was on.
 * Thanks again, I like link library!
 * Best wishes

 * Strange. The original automatic upgrade should have done the deactivation and
   reactivation. Not sure why this did not take place. Thanks for the update.

 * Hi, Yannick,
    I’m also getting “No links found.” Any ideas? Thanks, Robert

 * Hello,
 * I have the same issue : I manage to show the available categories, but not the
   links in any of them.
 * I’m using version 4.9.3 of your plugin on a 3.1 wordpress fresh install (actually
   both wordpress and the plugin have been downloaded today from wordpress.org).
 * I have enabled debugging in the link-library admin form and here’s the related
   HTML output :
 *     ```

    I have sent you my e-mail=jabber contact

 * I am having the same issue. WP 3.1 with the plug-in version 4.9.3. I initally
   installed with the automated installer and then removed that entierly and uploaded
   via FTP with no difference. I have tired the deactivate and reactivate trick 
   aswell. On my site when I visit the links page I see No Links found as well as
   a link for the category and I turned on the link counter so I see the two links
   I have setup. When I click on the category nothing happens. When I try to search
   one of the links nothing shows up.
 * I enabled debug mode but I didn’t see anything different about what appears on
   the page. I have also noted that aside from the thumbnail of the website other
   content enter in the Link Library – Additional Peramiters section of the link
   edit page do not seem to hold what is put in them. I have tried making a link
   a featured link and putting a large description in but after saving when I go
   back to edit the content is not there.

   and Geet Jacobs: my category links are broken and point only to “#” (the click
   does nothing).

 * Hey guys,
    I’m having this problem myself. I just updated the plugin to the current
   version (4.9.7) but still no links displaying. Granted I’ve only got one, but
   it shows 1 link under the category.
 * Debug is on.

 * I had the same problem on a multisite installation. I desactivated the plugin
   on the network and activated it site by site. Now it works perfectly.
