Want to Display Specific/Random Links within a Widget? Add this to your Functions.php
I was unaware that wordpress "disabled" their blogroll functionality, so when trying to add a links-based widget in Vantage I got a little upset.
Turns out this has nothing to do with Vantage as it's Wordpress's doing.
All you have to do is add the following code to your child-theme's functions.php file:
PHP Code:
add_filter( 'pre_option_link_manager_enabled', '__return_true' );
That's it!
I use the Blogroll/links widget within footers or sidebars to randomly display category-specific pages.
