Change default title in Link Manager

  • Hi,

    I would like to change the title of the Link Manager widget “Links”, or something other than “Bookmarks”. Does anyone know how to do this? My PHP skills aren’t that great, and all I can see for the Link Manager edit screen is an add filter command. If anyone could point me in the right direction, or give me a quick solution, I’d really appreciate it.

    Thanks in Advance,

    ToniB

  • I would like to know the same. Installed the plug-in earlier today but cannot figure out where to change the title for the “links” widget. The option is not available in the widget settings panel.

    Thanks for any pointers.

    Here is the answer.

    That answer advises changing the WordPress core. Bad idea. Whenever you update your WordPress installation your changes will be gone.

    Instead, you can change it by adding a new link category (Links > Link Categories) using your desired title. You’ll then need to go through all of your links and assign the new category to them. It may be tedious if you have a lot of links, but it will replace the default title in the widget and you won’t lose the change next time you update WordPress.

    In my case, I changed it to “Resources” and it worked like a charm.

    There’s probably an add_filter() function to change the default title without editing the core template, and without having to reassign categories to every link, but I haven’t found it yet.
