Links: cannot display image AND link name

I’ve figured out part of my problem. I discovered that you need to use the description field if you have an image & want to display text.

But I still can’t get WP to display these image files in sidebar links:

This is the link for my WP blog:

Try the Link Libary plugin https://dev.wp-plugins.org/browser/link-library/trunk/

A workaround is to add the images manually in the DB into the structure of the name. That way both the text and the image will be displayed. If the link name is TEXT, you can do <img src=””>TEXT. When WP parses the name it will include the image in the link.

I had the same problem. I’ve yet to implement the solution into a plugin.

In wp-includes/links.php (WP 2.0.5) goto line 147, insert a return and type

$show_title = true,

then, on line 155 of links.php replace

$output .= '</a>';

with


if($show_title && $show_images) {
$output .= $name.'</a>';
} else {
$output .= '</a>';
}


Now, you may use <?php get_links('', '', '', '', true, true); ?>. The first true enables images, and the second will enable the title. The first true must be enabled to enable the second.

Hope this helps.

I think you meant line 255, not line 155. ??

Besides that, it works great! Thanks for the tip.
