[Plugin: Link Library] Link added but not visible onsite

I’m having a similar problem – links are not appearing on the display pages. They were working before recent upgrades to widgets. I have 35 links libraries pulling in 35 categories and feeding them to 35 display pages, so this is sorta a top priority to me!

This sounds like two separate problems. Lori, can I get a link to your site to look at the issue? Also, can you enable debug mode under the Link Library general settings?

Sure! The site is ‘hiding’ inside my old site for now, till I’m ready to bring it public.

Main page:

Chocolate links library:

Coffee links library:
https://www.cocoajava.com/wordpress/?page_id=118

I’ve turned on Debug mode. Thank you SO much for your help – having a sophisticated links library is very meaningful to me! (I’ve got hundreds more links to pile in once things are stable!)

Lori

I don’t think that you correctly saved your settings with debug mode on, since I am not seeing the expected debug output in the page source code.

Jack, I just went back in to double-check, and the debug mode box is ticked. Just in case it helped, I un-clicked the box, saved it, then re-clicked the box and saved it again. It’s definitely clicked on! Is there anything else I can do to assist so you can help figure this out?

Thanks!
(Off to bed, but will check in here from work in the morning!)

Whoa, hold on, is this thread being hijacked? Jack, can I mail you about my issue? Thanks in advance.

Nowton, as you wish. You can respond here or use my contact form on my site: ylefebvre.ca.

Well, in that case: do you need more information on the issue we’re having?

Getting a link to the problematic page would help, along with having you turn on debug mode in the general settings. Then I can get an idea of what is happening.

Lori: Better, now I can see the debug information.

Can you try running the following SQL query from your site’s MySQL database administration tool?

SELECT distinct *, l.link_id as proper_link_id, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(l.link_updated) as link_date, IF (DATE_ADD(l.link_updated, INTERVAL 120 MINUTE) >= NOW(), 1,0) as recently_updated FROM wp_ptp3en_terms t LEFT JOIN wp_ptp3en_term_taxonomy tt ON (t.term_id = tt.term_id) LEFT JOIN wp_ptp3en_term_relationships tr ON (tt.term_taxonomy_id = tr.term_taxonomy_id) LEFT JOIN wp_ptp3en_links l ON (tr.object_id = l.link_id) LEFT JOIN wp_ptp3en_links_extrainfo le ON (l.link_id = le.link_id) WHERE tt.taxonomy = ‘link_category’ AND t.term_id in (28) AND l.link_visible != ‘N’ ORDER by link_featured DESC, name ASC, l.link_name ASC

Then let me know if you get results or any error message?

I tried running the query on my site, just changing the table names, and it ran correctly.

If that does not work, could you possibly give me a temporary admin login to your site?

I think I might break the internet if I try to play with the MySQL database (definitely not my forte!) Let me give you admin access. I just set you up, and will use your contact form at your site to give you the password.

Hi Lori,

Admin access works. That being said, it won’t give me access to your server’s PHP admin page. Can you also give me your login info for that in my contact form?

Yannick has been wonderfully responsive and helpful – we’ve got things figured out now. Nowton, I hope your issue gets resolved happily too!

Whenever he starts responding to his email, we might actually get somewhere.

Sorry for the lack of response. Life is quite busy for me until late April as I am working on a big side project and my day job is quite busy as well. I develop plugins in my spare time.

What is your e-mail address so I can fish out what you sent me?
