Wrong operator in wp-includes/bookmark.php

[carmenDi0xide]

On line 174 wp-includes/bookmark.php

"if ( $category = get_term_by('name', $category_name, 'link_category') ) {"

should be:

"if ( $category == get_term_by("

It would be nice if the reference to 'link_category' (bolded) was not there. I'd like to get links that belong to regular category terms without having to create duplicates. This was how I accidentally found the error. I'm new here so maybe I'm just missing something....but....

The line works as intended. It's a check if the specified link category exists, not a comparison.

Sounds like you're looking for get_category_link():
