WordPress updated. Yay!

No, not yay.

They changed the link manager to a blogroll manager, and re-jigged the API(s) for calling up a list of links from this manager. That’s something I do a fair bit around here.

Now invoking the simple “wp_get_links(1)” gives me a plain list of all the links in all categories, separated by line-breaks, suffixed with their descriptions and divided into sub-categories separated by a large title.

Seems I now need “get_links(7, ‘[li]‘, ‘[/li]‘,’ ‘, FALSE, ‘name’, FALSE, FALSE, -1, FALSE, TRUE);”
Which would be just fine, if the wordpress codex was even half-trustworthy and I didn’t have to stumble down half a dozen dead ends until I reach the tag I want…

God knows why all the category IDs have been incremented by 6.

And there’s still no way to set the size of thumbnails without delving into the includes themselves.

To complain about something I’ve actually paid for: Bulldog raised the signal to noise ratio of my line today, to try and stop the modem from having to re-train every minute or so (which happens profusely after about 5pm). It seems to maybe be happening less often now, but has happened a bunch of times since, so it’s not fixed. Grrr.
