If have just upgraded to wordpress 2.7.
I have previously been using 1.6.2. of your links directory.
1.7 caused some problems and seemed to conflict with something, hence sticking to 1.6.2
Now have a major problem.
Now what ever changes I make to the admin page are not saved. Tried removing the tables, deactivating, still doesn’t allow me to save changes from admin screen.
Any suggestions as to get around this? Thanks
Just to add have now tried 1.8 now get this error message, still cannot save anything from admin page.
Just trying your version 1.8 and getting this error message
Warning: mysql_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-link-directory/link-directory.php on line 433
any suggestions?

Hi Thanks for this product.
I'm having trouble getting it to work...I'm not getting an error of any kind but when I add a new link, either from the administrative end, or from the front end of the website, I get a message saying that the link has been added successfully, but the links don't actually show up in the directory (or in the admin "edit links" area.
Also, when captcha was enabled, I would continually get an error saying that the particular code had already been used.
Also also, when I had require approval of links selected, adding links from the client end still gave me a successully added message. (Though the links didn't appear anywhere, but still, you'd think with approval required, that a message about the link will be added once approved would appear.
Finally, 2 requests (not bugs)...I'd love to be able to import links from other sources (another database, or an html file with links and descriptions, or a spreadsheet.) AND, I'd love some control over what the emails to link adders say.
My site (still setting it up but have been on hold pending getting link directory to work) is here: http://poetrysuperhighway.com/psh
Thanks!

quick update...I'm using WP 2.7 and just installed your latest version of WP Link Directory (1.8)
When I went to activate the plugin I received this error:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class wpld_permalinks in /hermes/bosweb/web240/b2405/ipw.poetrysu/public_html/psh/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-link-directory/link-directory.php on line 24
Oddly, the WP still lists as activated, but when I add categories, I get a message that it was successfully added, but the category doesn't actually show up.
Theactual CAPTCHA error I am receiving (mentioned in previous post) is:
Every CAPTCHA can only be used once. The current CAPTCHA has already been used. Please click back, refresh the page and try again.
Anyway, odd that the plugin says it can't be activated but the empty directory and the ability to (almost) add a post is still showing up.

Thanks again,

As others have stated, just installed 1.8 and can not save any changes to the Admin Page.
I'm also not sure whether I have permalinks setup correctly (this may be due to above issues). My permalink structure is /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ with "links" being the name of the page created for the directory.
When I try and navigate to the "links" page, it displays the index page of my wordpress blog.
Hopefully you can address these issues and let us know how to fix them!
Regards
GaryO
EDIT: My operating system is Vista (if that is what may be causing issues)
I believe what's causing the mysql errors is that the new fields haven't been added to the table in the database. I'm not sure why this hasn't happened for new installations or upgrades from 1.7.2 or 1.7.3, though I think I know why it hasn't happened in previous versions.
As a solution I would recommend uncommenting line 69 of link-directory.php:
register_deactivation_hook(__FILE__, 'wplinkdir_uninstall');
And then deactivating then reactivating the plugin. Please note that THIS WILL DELETE ALL YOUR LINKS. If this is not a problem then give this a try. Be sure to re-comment this line after you get things working (or your links will be deleted in future updates).
For those who don't want to chance it and who have access to MySQL you can try adding the fields yourself. In phpMyAdmin this would be done by going to wp_wplinkdir_links (where wp_ is your WordPress extension) and comparing it with the SQL in lines 344 to 365 of link-directory.php. If your links table is missing any of these fields (it will probably be missing mailed, premium, hitsin and hitsout) then add these manually.
There are also a number of issues with permalinks which I'm unable to help with, one possible solution though is to try creating the Link Directory as a post rather than a page. This has the disadvantage that your directory will show up in your posts and look a bit unsightly, but it may solve your permalinks problem.

I'm using Wordpress 2.7 and WordPress Link Directory 1.8.
I've got two problems.
1. When I as an admin add a link the plugin states something like "I can't verify this address but I'm adding it anyway".
2. No links, including the default one, shows up on the visitorns linkpage but I can see them when I edit links. I've tried to "reinstalling" with the line 69 thing, but it doesn't help.

WP 2.6.5 - WPLD 1.8 - New install
http://www.dubaisandboarding.com/sandboarding-links
Works:
- edit/add catagories & links
- add link from public page
- new link count in admin page
Bugs:
- descriptions seem to be limited to 250 chars no matter when your admin settings are
- in 'new link' email to admin there is a extra new line break after the Page Rank
- new link count appears in WPLD's secondary menu as well as the primary menu (unnecessary perhaps?) but it appears in the main submenu, rather than on the 'Edit links'.
- "email them" does not appear to work (could this option be open to spammers?)
- "Track Hits Out?" doesn't seem to do anything
- Can't edit a pending link in admin page when a name and email has been submitted. Get this error: Fatal error: Call to a member function using_permalinks() on a non-object in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-link-directory/link-directory.php on line 1173
Wishlist/suggestions:
- mark optional "link to us fields" as such when they are.
- add 'are you sure' to flag link to stop bots hitting it (some bad bots don't obey 'NOFOLLOW')
Hello great job, but I have to say some things. First of all I have translated the plugin in Italian and here you'll find the url files lang folder containing the Italian translation updated to version 1.8 - link for download http://www.luckylab.eu/downloads/Wp+link+directory+italiano
With the 2.7 version of wordpress any changes made in administrative settings is not saved, not detect Errors aside an issue to safemode but this is due to my server. Then I was able to verify that many words are not translated despite my translation is complete. The only thing I can do is to create categories.I did not install the main site for a problem with permalinks that does not use the default configuration, I then installed on a third-level domain by changing the permalinks to default configuration. Thanks for the great work, if succeed in solving these problems first believe that will create a nice directory translated into Italian.
how to resolve this error if I add a link?
Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 32117 is not allowed to access /tmp owned by uid 0 in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/dir/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-link-directory/captcha.php on line 52
seems not find the tmp directory
1. Removing the permalink text from field on page ‘link-directory.php’ does not disable this feature, onceit has been activateted. i.e. saved! Modifications to the word/text are saved and will change the permalink – but just deleting the text does not remove the permalink feature. Only solution is complete uninstall and reinstall.
2. conflicts with the plug-in Redirection. (http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/) Tested against v2.0.08 - 2.0.11. When you preview a the page - everything displayed correctly, however once you published it and then clicked on the page link - the sever would get stuck in redirect loop to "links" or any other text I had entered into the permalinks field. Even if you go back and disable the permalink feature on either WP or WP-Link install - it is still identified as a redirect. Disabling the plug-in does solve the problem. Which was not an option in my case. Very important to immediately disable/remove the "permalinks" feature from link-directory.php BEFORE you ever display or click on any links. In my experience once you click that first time it is stored as a permalink. You can modify the text i.e. from ‘links†to ‘directory’ but just deleting the text will not disable the functionality.
If ‘Display PageRank’ is not enabled I lose the formatting when at the bottom drill down on the category user interface, along with category title will be listed twice and an (home) incorrect link. And sidebar stuff. You can see a screen shot – for better clarity:
here is live link with enabled: http://www.musicalimprov.com/resources

Sean I wanted to tell you that you are making an awesome script. Sean I am deploying your script on my site and I have 2 suggestions, for what they are worth. I have run a link directory for over 9 years. And I am now transitioning it to your script. Here is my suggestion if you want any feedback, based on my experience.
Have the ability to turn off the top menu, where it lists: Home | Add URL | Link To Us | Search ( as long as the admin menu on the backend gives us the direct links to these so that we can add them as pages or whatever we want. Trust me on this, people will use the function, and it will make your script that much more powerful for versatility.
The other, and to fully explain it, I made a screenshot and attached it to this email. Yes I think the idea is powerful enough, that I recreated a screenshot to show you. The idea is this, have some code, or something, an include statement where we can include the table statement or just the section on any wordpress page (non post pages, home page, wherever) that shows our categories and sub categories, for a TRUE search engine, or link engine look.
Here is the screenshot: http://www.christianlinks.com/temp/LinksConcept.png
Essentially, a call statement that would call just the section that handles our categories and sub-categories on any wordpress page. THAT would rock.
Take a look at my screenshot attached to this email, the section I added is just below the big Hillsong United Picture, you will see your code there. That is the idea. Couple that idea, with the ability to turn off the menu, and you have a grand slam script for people running link directories, and seach engines.
Hopefully you get this email, and let me know what you think? I certainly would love to know about including the categories on other wordpress pages, I assure you I am not alone.
Hi Sean, great script and thanks for the support and trying to make everyone happy. I know people in general are sometimes very demanding. Don't let it get you down. What you have done for the WP community is awesome! When I'm no longer a starving Realtor, I plan on making a donation for your ongoing support.
I'm running WP version 2.7 and WP Link Directory 1.5. My initial install weeks ago was with version 1.5 on WP version 2.63. I spent several hours adding over 100 links to my site. Therefore I would rather not have to re-enter everything if possible.I switched my site over from static html to WP.
When I upgraded to your newer versions it appeared that I lost all of my data. So I uninstalled the newer versions and reinstalled version 1.5. All of my data is back. I am still getting errors whenever I try to install the newest version including Pro and 1.8.
I think something is still in memory from the attempted upgrades. I'm not able to change some of the admin features like deleting "nofollow", changing "Link Target" and adding "Powered By". I also tried adding a link from one of my other sites for testing purposes. WP Link Directory is not acknowledging it or sending me any emails. It says something like we were unable to find your reciprocal link located at http://SomeURL.com. It's adding the period to the end of the url in the error message.
What is the easiest way to save all of my data, upgrade to the newest version and get my database to acknowledge the new install settings? You can see my links page here: http://www.hotphoenixrealestate.com/link-partners/ I appreciate your help. I don't want to start losing my link partners because my links pages are now using the "nofollow" tag. Thanks again Sean, I appreciate your help.
Hi there. I just upgraded to wordpress Link Directory version 1.8 (with WP 2.7). and can't add links anymore :(
I get the error massage:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/humus101/public_html/dancebloggers/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-link-directory/link-directory.php on line 1173
I went and manually changed the code and added "//" in the following lines (1174-1178):
// if($wp_rewrite->using_permalinks()==true && $Permalinks!=''){
$LinkPage=get_bloginfo('url').'/'.get_option('wplinkdir_permalinks').'/';
// }else{
// $LinkPage=preg_replace('/(\&|\?)act\=(addsite|linkus|search)/','',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
// }
and also found a "1" that I erased from line 1171
this resolved my problem for now, but this needs further look into!
I hope someone else would know how to fix this better.
Thanks,
Tal
Hi again Sean. When I try to upgrade from 1.5 to 1.8 I get the error code below. Also the syle sheet changes, my link counts are still there but the links are missing. I've rolled back to 1.5 for now. Please see my other post above, thanks.

Hi,
first of all: great plugin. I had a few hic-ups solved like code showing in my text box for description yet I believe that was mainly my i.e. operator error or the theme.
I use it now at Puro Off-Road
and until a friend informed me I did not test the "Add URL" feature myself. Ones cannot add. If all correct filled in and hit submit I get this:
Every CAPTCHA can only be used once. The current CAPTCHA has already been used. Please click back, refresh the page and try again.
Any advise on that?? Any pointer is welcome.
I run WP Version 2.6.3, Open Source theme revolution2 chrome and have mySQL/root acces on server.
Thanks and greetings from La Paz Mexico
Ooops, forgot: I'm using 1.8 now downloaded yesterday. Upgraded as recommended. Deactivate - upload - reactivate.
Does anyone have a copy of his last known working version? To many of us are being left with crippled sites now, and I cant have my site down like this. I switched to this script because I liked it, but this is to much down time.
It's nothing personal. His script has serious potential.

WP 2.6.1 - WPLD 1.8 - New installation
I have the same glitch as ChuckMcB above.
If I try to approve a pending link in the admin page when a name and email has been submitted I get this error: Fatal error: Call to a member function using_permalinks() on a non-object in /home/xxx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-link-directory/link-directory.php on line 1173.
Deleting it works fine, so perhaps it has something to do with sending the automated email to the person submitting the link (since I have that 'on').
I think Sean just updated? Cause I removed all traces of the old, and reinstalled, and its working like a champ?
Aside from a few aesthetic issues, way to go Sean! I thought the guy fell off the face of the earth, good to know hes still at it.
But seriously, Sean, you dont post that much on here, but can any of us do anything to help? I know the donation and coffee thing, but, can we scour it, give you layout ideas that would be widely wanted (not just personal). Anything we can do for real?

Hi all,
The 1.8.1 update did fix my earlier posted issues regarding links not showing up and the permalinks error when activating etc. However I'm still experiencing 2 issues:
1) When I go to edit incoming links, selecting "Appoved" and then clicking "Update" brings me to a blank Admin page with just th ewords "Edit Link" at the top and the link is not added.
2) I'm getting the following CAPTCHA error when I try submitting a new link from the front end.
"Every CAPTCHA can only be used once. The current CAPTCHA has already been used. Please click back, refresh the page and try again."
--
Anyone have any thoughts on importing links from elsewhere to WPLD? I've got a directory with thousands of links.

Hi Sean and everyone
I have just tried the latest version 1.8.1
still getting this error
Warning: mysql_result(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in .../wp-content/plugins/wordpress-link-directory/link-directory.php on line 469
any suggestions on getting around this. Am trying to use wordpress 2.7
thanks
I just upgraded to the 1.8.1 version, and I am still getting the error:
"Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/humus101/public_html/dancebloggers/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-link-directory/link-directory.php on line 1247"
The error comes when I try to approve a new link someone added.
(I am using PHP 4 and WP 2.7)
I manually removed the if statment on these lines and it fixed the problem (any one for a better solution ?) :
//if($wp_rewrite->using_permalinks()==true && $Permalinks!=''){
$LinkPage=get_bloginfo('url').'/'.get_option('wplinkdir_permalinks').'/';
//}else{
// $LinkPage=preg_replace('/(\&|\?)act\=(addsite|linkus|search)/','',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
//}

Hi!
I have exactly the very same problems as Fizzgigg:
I'm using Wordpress 2.7 and WordPress Link Directory 1.8.
I've got two problems.1. When I as an admin add a link the plugin states something like "I can't verify this address but I'm adding it anyway".
2. No links, including the default one, shows up on the visitorns linkpage but I can see them when I edit links. I've tried to "reinstalling" with the line 69 thing, but it doesn't help.
Is there any way to solve it? I just installed upgraded version of your module (1.8.1) but I sill have got the same problems. Please help, this is so fantastic addon, and I would really like to use it.
Best regards, Sara.

Hi, i'im running wp 2.7 with your plugin version 1.8.1, just to know did you plan to make this plugin working with wp 2.7?
Actually in this configuration nothing seems to work:
1. add category dont work, nothing displayed in the list after add and nothing in the popup in the front end during link submission.
2. same for the listing, nothing displayed in the list after add
Thanks a lot for the great work, hoping you make working your plugin with wp 2.7.

Hi again i forget, there is a problem also with re-captcha, the message is:
"Every CAPTCHA can only be used once. The current CAPTCHA has already been used. Please click back, refresh the page and try again."
Link Ex will not recognize any url address...
Every link must be manually added.
Is there a fix?
wp ver 2.7
wpld 1.8.1
Hi Sean, I've been working on this for hours.
After several loads, reloads, uninstalls and reinstalls with different versions of WP-Link-Directory on WordPress 2.7 I'm able to accomplish what Talgalili did above with his fix using WPLD 1.8.1.
Main issues now are when WP Link Directory is active, I cannot edit any of my pages in /wp-admin/. When I click on the edit pages link I get a fatal error. The code is below. I also encountered the same redirect problem that AnotherUserID above did.
Originally when trying to get rid of all traces of WPLD 1.5 through 1.8.1 so I could do a fresh install, I deleted these 2 tables from my mysql database: wp_linkdir_cats and wp_linkdir_links.
Now when I deactivate version 1.8.1 so I can edit my pages I lose those 2 tables above. When I reactivate the plugin they're gone. I can reinstall the my mysqyl database backup that has all of my links from version 1.5 on it. Then I reinstalled version 1.8.1, all of the categories show up on my main links page, but if you click on a category all of the links are gone. Again, cannot edit pages in /wp-admin/ but can edit posts? If you deactivate the plug-in again to edit pagesI you lose the 2 tables above from the version 1.5 backup.
At this point I just have a few test links up and still cannot edit pages. I get this error here 'Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in /home2/phoenixp/public_html/hotphoenixrealestate/wp-includes/post.php on line 3072'
Here are some of the other error messages I encountered today.

Similar problem as earlier poster...deactivating and reactivating the plugin deletes all links and categories. (didn't have many in there as I still can't approve links in the admin section as mentioned in an earlier post.)
WPLD 1.8.1
WP 2.7
arrg!
I just turned the plugin off, and then on - and it made me lose almost 50 links (!!!)
I now need to find an (OLD :( ) backup.
Damn BUG !!!
p.s: I am filling in some of the lost links by going to googles
"cache:" command...
(I write: cache:www.mywebsite.com - and see what google see before the tragedy)
