In my post about the plugin “My Link Order” for ordering your blogroll links, I talked about what a great plugin it is. Then Wordpress 2.8 came out and it caused My Link Order not to work. The patch/fix for this is not very intuitive, so I’m laying it out below:

• Log in to your Wordpress as admin;
• Click on the “Links” link in the left navigation;
• Click on “My Link Order” in the list that is displayed;
• On the “My Link Order” page are the instructions for patching /wp-includes/taxonomy.php so that My Link Order works in Wordpress 2.8.
• At line 683, after this code:

  elseif ( empty($_orderby) || ‘id’ == $_orderby )
  $orderby = ‘t.term_id’;

  you paste the following code:

  else if ( ‘order’ == $_orderby )
  $orderby = ‘t.term_order’;

and then your blogroll shows up again!
