Thanks for the response. I have now. 🙂 Still no luck.
The only thing I suspect is the SiteLock trust seal which I tried out. I don’t think it’s a plugin, but maybe that’s how it operates behind the scenes.
Regardless, I removed that several days ago because I didn’t like the placement.
However, this is the only event that seemed to possibly coincide with the existing pages no longer being listed in the link box.
Thanks again.
