<p>In WordPress 3.5, the Link Manager (which some use to build blogrolls) will<br />
be disabled by default. If you have links when you update, it’ll still be there.<br />
But you can use this plugin to ensure it will always be there, even if you<br />
update to a later version of WordPress or remove all of your current links.</p>


Link Manager

Works on WP 6.1

Enables the Link Manager that existed in WordPress until version 3.5.
