    2.7 is terrific. I’m noticing one glitch. When I try to add a new link in my blogroll it always defaults to my “other links” category, no matter which of the others I might try. https://www.tomrichmond.com/blog

    Tried a search and did not find any other threads with the same issue, so I am not sure if it’s my theme or some other internal issue.

    Ask and ye shall receive, or wait long enough and you may figure it out for yourself.

    I discovered after much experimentation that using “most used” as the method of listing link categories in the “Add New Link” or “Edit Link” admin areas resulted in the link created/edited always defaulting to “Other Links” no matter what was selected or how many times I tried to change it. By instead selecting “All Categories” as my list method, that problem disappeared and any catagory selected would stick.

    Thanks for the help, art4mad!

    You’re welcome, art4mad! Happy blogging!
