In the new version of WordPress, the official backend link function has been removed. This makes it more difficult for beginners to add links. How can we restore the backend link option?
Method 1: Add the following code to the functions.php file in your theme directory to restore the display.
// Display link manager module
add_filter( 'pre_option_link_manager_enabled', '__return_true' );
// End of display link module
Method 2: Use the Link Manager plugin. This plugin can be directly searched from the backend, or you can download it here. It is very convenient for beginners to operate.
After completing the above steps, you will see an additional link functionality option in the backend. Here is a brief introduction on how to use this plugin. First, we need to add a link category. Then, add links to this category. Finally, we can see a link widget in Appearance -> Widgets, where you can drag and drop it to the desired location.
