Default Back to REW blog - Relevant Reading

I'm finally getting back to my websites and my blogs. I'm finally looking into the widgets that REW has added. I'm not sure how to use them.

For example, the Relevant Reading area. I have checked this box but don't know how to add any links. I went to Link Manager and all it says is:
"You currently have no links."

There is no link to allow me to add any. Are these two things the same? How do I get them to allow me to add something?

Judy, in the widgets section, that is just where you tell the system which widgets you wish to display.

To add links to the "relevant reading section" (When logged in) look to the left navigation bar and click "Link Manager" (This is where you add relevant reading links) - put in the destination URL of the link, and whatever you want the anchor text to say, and presto! Relevant reading

Morgan & Danielle, I've tried going to the Links Manager but there is no way for me to add any links. There should be a link to allow me to do so. There is no way for me to add a link.

Here is what I see:

Link Manager

You currently have no links.


There is no link like "click here to add links" or anything. Can someone check this out?

What browser are you using Judy? Can you post the URL?

I am attaching a screenshot of what mine looks like when I click add links.

I've tried 3 different broswers - same thing. I do not have Link Text/Link Url boxes (like you're showing) or anything else. Just what I already pasted into my prior posts.

I did notice that the url is different when I go to Link Manager. Here's examples:
"Post new entry" is:
realestatewebmasters.com/blogs/backend/new/

"Page manager" is:
realestatewebmasters.com/blogs/backend/pages/manage/

"Link manager" is:
realestatewebmasters.com/blogs/links/

Doesn't have backend in the url. Is that the problem?

My blog url is:
http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/blogs/judyo/

So far the functions I've tried work fine but there's just nothing under Link Manager.

The URL you SHOULD be at is realestatewebmasters.com/blogs/links/ - once again, you MUST BE LOGGED IN (I am not yelling at you, I love you, just emphasizing).

Ok so you aren't crazy - I just created a dummy normal account, and tried to add links, and it said the same thing you are seeing - I will try to get this fixed tomorrow. Sorry about that - it must be because I am normally logged in as an admin, that mine isn't borked.

No need to apologize - although I was logged in

I do have my "Duh!" moments but this time I tried everything. I'm glad you found something is amiss.
