hides links in the admin area

I only ever used this plugin for one reason and that was to hide one type of post from the front page of my blog, but otherwise show it. I haven’t needed it for a long time and so hadn’t noticed any issues with that side of it.

However, I have been trying to get to the bottom of missing links from the link manager FOR YEARS! (obviously I wasn’t that serious about it, but tonight I decided I wanted it fixed).

Situation: Links within the old link manager were missing in action when “All Categories” filter (the default) was selected in the links admin area. If you choose the actual category, the links showed up. However, for links that had fallen through the cracks and were not assigned to a category (I have a few), these were not visible anywhere.

I played with all the settings under ACE, but couldn’t get them back.

I disabled the plugin, and my links have returned.

Time for this plugin to go
