Change "Blogroll" to "Links" (7 posts)

    I've searched and found the solution to this, but it doesn't work for me. I went into link categories and changed it from "blogroll" to "links" but it doesn't reflect on the site. I can change everything else with no problems. I'm less than 24 hrs new to WP, so please forgive my ignorance, and have mercy on my soul.

    There are two or three places to change "blogroll" to "links" depending on what you want to do.

    1. To change the category from "links" to "blogroll", in Site Admin go to Manage -> Categories and edit "Blogroll"

    2. To change the Admin menu names, you need to do some core file edits.
    In /wp-admin/menu.php, line 22 change ‘Blogroll' to ‘Links’, then in line 50 ‘Manage Blogroll’ changed to ‘Manage Links’
    and
    Changed the title of Manage Links page in /wp-admin/link-manager.php line 19 and 75 - changed “Blogroll” to “Link”.

    3. To make the changes in 1. permanent for new blogs (I may have done some overkill here so someone correct me if I'm wrong)
    Edited /wp-includes/wpmu-functions.php lines 1313 to 1318 and change every instance of ‘Blogroll’ to ‘Links’, and ‘blogroll’ to ‘links’ - only the ones in single quotes.

    I think that covers it.

    This can now be done thru the admin interface.

    Thanks to whoever shepherded this change for the admin interface. I spent a few minutes looking for a replacement widget... then found this thread. Piece o' cake!
