Hi!
Seems like the
get_links() function got deprecated not so long ago and a parameter was added to it (don't know when):
Quote:
$show_updated
(int) (Optional) Whether to show last updated timestamp.
Default value: 1
|
The thing with this piece of parameter is (which is by default on) that it automatically inserts a text into the title part of the a href: (Last updated December 31, 1969 7:00 pm).. so it will look like this:
Quote:
|
<a href="https://www.domain.com" title=" (Last updated December 31, 1969 7:00 pm)">Domain</a>
|
Last time WP wasn't doing this, but today I updated some sites to WP6.0 then added some links and at first couldn't figure out while is that last updated part included.. I guess only old themes are affected, where that parameter isn't set to disabled and maybe the new themes are using the newer function called
get_bookmarks()..
Anyway if you have some sites on older themes check if you aren't affected by the same issue. Also it can be fixed by editing get_links() in the sidebar.php file.. usually from:
Code:
<?php get_links(-1, '<li>', '</li>', ' - '); ?>
to this:
Code:
<?php get_links(-1, '<li>', '</li>', ' - ',true,'name',true,false,-1,0); ?>
