Wordpress 3.5.1 - no links module

I noticed that in the past few websites where I installed the Wordpress script, the Links module seems to no longer be there?

Is anyone else experiencing this too? Has the Links module been removed from the Wordpress script?

  • You are correct, the default links menu was removed to lighten the core.
    You can add it back if you want with the Link Manager Plugin

  • Wow thanks David!

    On another note, I think it's a strange thing for the developers to remove the Links module from Wordpress. Any idea why's that?

  • It really boiled down to UI and code bloat.
    This was not a rash decision and a lot of thought was put into it.
    I would have to agree with the final decision, it was a good call.
    You can read a little more about it in the Trac.
    And just a note.....
    If you already had WP installed then upgraded to v3.5+, the link menu will still be there. (backwards compatibility built in).
