How to disable the WordPress Link Manager link-manager.php without a plugin

October 29, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

On your WordPress website there is a tool that you may or may not see in your left admin menu titled Links. You may not want to have that tool on your website if you do not use something like that to manage lists of links on there. If that is from the WordPress link manager there is a way to disable it without using a plugin. You can then add this code to your functions.php file. You may want to backup your WordPress website before you make updates to it.

/**
 * Remove link manager
 *
 * @author WPSnacks.com
 * @link https://www.wpsnacks.com
 */
update_option( 'link_manager_enabled', 0 );

Now if that works for you it would remove the link manager page from the left menu in your WordPress admin on there.
