There is no links manager in the admin_menu of Wordpress 3.5.1 anymore. I'm creating a custom add_links_page, and I'm having a hard time with the making a plugin.
Do I need to initialize something to show the links page?

1Maybe you can re-enable the Link Manager via this plugin: wordpress.org/plugins/link-manager– SvenJun 14, 2013 at 1:31

It's commonly activated through:
add_filter( 'pre_option_link_manager_enabled', '__return_true' );
The suggested Link Manager plugin only contains this code line.
Or go in you wp database, in the (wp_)options table find the option "link_manager_enabled" and change the value from 0 to 1 (option_id should be 86)

Thanks so much :-) I know you've posted this so long ago, but it still works! (
option_idseems to be 84 in WP 6+, but otherwise, it's precisely what you've written). Personally, I prefer a database option to changing thefunctions.phpfile, because I tend to change themes with some regularity and keep forgetting to make those manual changes; whereas the database will remain stable for far longer periods. Others, however, may feel less comfortable tinkering with the database, or, worse, have no easy access to it... so it's good to have some options! Jun 15, 2022 at 18:39
To re-enable the link manager, add the following line to your theme's functions.php file (child theme recommended):
add_filter( 'pre_option_link_manager_enabled', '__return_true' );
