• You guys have been so awesome so far, I’m really hoping we can do it again, with (yet another) issue…this time, my blogroll.

    I sincerely hope this makes sense to someone, ’cause I need it fixed badly.

    I don’t know what initially caused it, but a little ways back, my blogroll ceased to be a normal blogroll and made itself a category.

    With help I managed to get that deleted, but now when I attempt to add a link to it, it wants me to pick a category for it…like adding a post…and not the blogroll itself. It’s like it disappeared from my admin.

    If this makes any sense at all, let me know. I’ll try to explain further, but that’s essentially my issue.

    This is pretty important, as it is an obvious part of my link exchange policy.

    Side question: Do the powers that be around here accept donations of any kind? I’m speaking monetarily, as I’m sure you don’t want my tech help just yet 🙂

    Thanks so much for any assistance you can provide.

  • Blogroll does default to being a category, that is just the nature of the beast.

    Huh? When and why does it do that?

    So I’m stuck with no Blogroll? This makes no sense.

    your blogroll shows on your sidebar. Though it has no links under it

    Blogroll is a category. The bookmarks/blogroll entries that you make can go into that default “Blogroll” category, or you can even make other categories for them and separate them that way.

    In 2.0 versions, the Posts categories and Links categories were separated. In 2.1, they got combined, and that’s when BlogRoll became a category visible in Manage Categories.

    Go to Manage->Categories, and create a category for the bookmarks/blogroll items to go into. Then go over there and put them into your Blogroll category.

    All Posts must have a category. All Blogroll links must have one too. This has always been the case, but as of 2.1 and up, these categories live in the same place. That’s the only change here.
