Solving Incoming Links Widget Problem in WordPress
If you are a WordPress user, then you’d probably notice the “Incoming Links” widget that reside in your Dashboard. Recently there’s been an issue with error message being displayed. Well, if you are looking for a solution, then read on.
The “Incoming Links” widget works by searching the web for any page that is linking to any page in your website (read my post about inbound link) And the way to do that is by taking advantage of the Google Blog Search.
By sending a GET request, one can get a search result in an RSS output. Then the WordPress engine (and its built-in function) will parse the RSS and show the result in widget that you can custom (how many records to show, etc.)
Well, if it’s a built-in functions, then why it’s not working?
Did WordPress made a flaw in the development phase?
