• I have the latest version of wordpress and Link Library.

    All of a sudden the save button has vanished, it is no longer visible and I am unable to save my libraries.

    I have two libraries, on both you had to be logged in to add links, however today out of the blue one of the libraries no longer required the user to be logged in, I went into that library and noticed that the logged in box was no longer ticked.

    It is easy to resolve, I just ticked the box, but when I went to save it,, no save button.

    Your assistant would be appreciated.

    Hi, the only time I have seen the button disappear was a symptom of an an error appearing on one of the tabs of the library settings. Can you go through all of the tabs and see if there is a PHP error displayed in any of them? If so, I would need to know what the error is to resolve it.

    Hi, thanks for responding.

    There is no php error, I have clicked on every tab.

    What does happen is that when you click on the Library settings that no longer has the tabs left to right but in a list format.

    So it shows like this

    General Options
    Library Settings
    Moderate
    Stylesheet
    Reciprocal Check
    FAQ

    I then click on user submission so that I can update that particular library but no save option at all.

    I really need this repairing, I am unable to contact you via your website as the captcha image is broken, I am prepared to pay for your time to look at this and repair this function, but I need to be able to make contact somehow with you

    Sorry for lack of response. I am travelling for work at a trade show with very little time to myself. My email is ylefebvre at Gmail,so you can communicate with me directly.

    We’ve got the same issue: no save button available in the settings pages/tabs, and the main Link Library navigation is a vertical list rather than horizontal menu.

    No errors on any tabs either.

    Can you share how others have fixed this, or suggest what the issue may be?

    In most cases, the issue has been related to trying to allow users to export custom post types and encountering strange data in these custom post types.

    As a temporary fix, can you try removing lines 4453 to 4463 and seeing if that brings the button back?

    Thanks Yannick. Can you please be more specific about the function to comment out in lines 4453-4463? We’re editing via FTP so are only seeing up to line 1077 when directly editing link-library.php.

    Sorry, it was in link-library-admin.php, and not in link-library.php.

    The lines to comment are:

    						  $site_post_types = get_post_types( array( '_builtin' => false ) );
    						foreach( $site_post_types as $site_post_type ) {
    							$any_posts = get_posts( array( 'post_type' => $site_post_type ) );
    							if ( count( $any_posts ) < 200 ) {
    							if ( !empty( $any_posts ) ) {
    								$post_type_data = get_post_type_object( $site_post_type ); ?>
    
    								<input type="radio" name="siteimportlinksscope" value="specific<?php echo $site_post_type; ?>"> <?php _e( 'Specific ' . $post_type_data->labels->singular_name, 'link-library' ); ?>
    								<?php wp_dropdown_posts( array( 'post_type' => $site_post_type, 'select_name' => $site_post_type . '_id' ) ); ?><br /><br />
    							<?php } }
    						}

    Aha, of course. Thanks for the specifics and the prompt response.

    Confirming that temp fix works: navigation is restored and I can see the ‘save settings’ buttons again.

    Is this something we’ll need to apply after each plugin update, or are you hoping to get a more permanent fix sorted?

    @uxmastery, I made some adjustments to avoid losing the save button with new updates. Can you try updating to 5.9.14.2 and seeing if you still have your save button.

    Yep, we’re on 5.9.14.3 and can see the save button fine. Thanks. πŸ™‚
