In reply to: New Link Category won't displayThanks for the assistance. I finally got it worked out. The new link I added to the new link category was set private and this silently stopped anything from showing up. Probably obvious to a long time WordPress admin, but not so obvious from the bottom of the learning cliff.

In reply to: New Link Category won't displayI’m going through the various menu’s to see if I can figure out where that would be. I don’t see anything under Link Category Edit and I doubt that was what you meant anyway. Under ‘Links’ there is a ‘Name’ tick box that turns on selection on all the links of both Blogroll and Corporate but that is for ‘Bulk Actions’, again not what you want. Under ‘Appearance->Widgets’ The ‘LINKS’ widget on the left hand column is drag-able but does not seem to have any parameters associated with it.
In the ‘Primary Widgets Area’ on the right, I can select my Links Widget that I dragged into the 6th slot. It has
- All Links in the first drop down menu
- Sort by has Link title selected
- Show Link Image is ticked
- Show Link Name is ticked
- Show Link Description is NOT ticked
- Show Link Rating is NOT ticked
- Links to Show is blank
I do not know of anywhere else to look.

In reply to: New Link Category won't displayI am uncertain of the answer. There is a Blogroll showing on the site but there is sign of my ‘Corporate’ link category.

In reply to: New Link Category won't displayI don’t know if I am telling you what you are asking, but… I have two Link Categories. One is the default, titled ‘Blogroll’ the other I created and it is titled ‘Corporate’. My new Link Category has one link in it at present.
The Links Widget on the Appearance->Widget page only says Links and has text under it saying “Your blogroll”.
In the right had column where I dragged it, there is just the title Links. When I ‘open up’ Links, it as a pulldown menu that has three choices: “All, Blogroll, Corporate” I have All selected.
I have a feeling I may not be telling you what you are asking for and am missing something important.

In reply to: New Link Category won't displayIn Appearance->Widgets, I have a Primary Widget box on the right, with a Links block contained in it as the 6th item, and it has a menu item showing ‘All’ which also has the labels ‘Blogroll’ and ‘MyLinks’.

In reply to: New Link Category won't displayOh, and thanks for trying to help. Although I have used WP for ages as a writer and editor on a news blog, I have never before dived into the admin side.

In reply to: New Link Category won't displayESMI: I have Recent posts, Archives, Categories, Meta and Blogroll showing showing on the right side.
oloaded: I already do have one link in it. It was not until I did that, that I even saw the Link Category show up in the Links menu or the pulldown menus anywhere.
I’d sort of thought it would show up right under Blogroll.

In reply to: New Link Category won't displayIt’s a private site discussing some R&D ideas so unfortunately I can’t. I am pretty sure there must be something very simple I am missing in the process of putting a Links Category on my sidebar.
