Partial display of links in sidebar

go to Links -> Manage Links
and toggle the visibility of the links you don’t want to show?

I tried that, but then those links no longer show up on the links page.

I have managed to only display the blogroll by editing the widgets.php file. I changed the section that went:

function widget_links($args) {
// This ONLY works with li/h2 sidebars.
get_links_list;

}

to:

function widget_links($args) {
// This ONLY works with li/h2 sidebars.
get_links(1);

}

the only problem with this is that there is no title in the side bar… just the couple of links that i have categorized as blogroll.

Like growlydidge said, you could just remove this line from your sidebar.php file.
<?php get_links_list(); ?>

Make a special block for it or something, like such:
<!--start Blogroll box-->
<h2>Blog Roll</h2>
<ul class="menublock">
<?php wp_get_linksbyname('Blogroll','orderby=name&show_description=0&show_updated=1') ?>
</ul>
<!--close Blogroll box-->

And it will only call the Blog Roll links, and yet still will show the links for the links pages. Could use their “specific ids” on that page then.

<!--start Friends box-->
<h2>Friends</h2>
<ul class="menublock">
<?php get_links(2) ?>
</ul>
<!--close Friends box-->

<!--start Friends box2-->
<h2>Other Friends</h2>
<ul class="menublock">
<?php get_links(3) ?>
</ul>
<!--close Friends box2-->

Or even the <?php get_links_list(); ?> on the Links page.. The number “2” and “3” in the second blocks, are the “IDs” of the specific Link Catagories by the way… I hope this helps.

Thanks. That did exactly what I wanted, better than my modification of the widgets.php file… I think I need to learn some more on php. Someone needs to make a widget for links that allows you to pick which show up… I would if I knew how… time to learn how.
Thanks again.

this widget does it:
