I answered a similar in another post here:
Hiding Link Description
Quick summary… You are using an outdated template tag. Rather than “get_links” use the “wp_list_bookmarks” tag.
The template tag to display links in a list without description text would be:
<?php wp_list_bookmarks('before=<li>&after=</li>&show_description=0'); ?>
Hope this helps. -josh
You are using an outdated wordpress tag. The “get_links” tag was updated to “wp_list_bookmarks“.
This new template tag allows you to specify a number of settings including whether or not to display the link description. To display links in a list format with descriptions turned off you would write:
<?php wp_list_bookmarks('before=<li>&after=</li>&show_description=0'); ?>
I had the same problem when using a template which contained the outdated get_links tag. This corrected the issue for me. -josh
