Restore WordPress functions that have been removed from recent updates.

== Description ==

Over time features will be removed from WordPress that are no longer deemed to be used enough to warrant continued inclusion. However, and not surprisingly, some people do use them and would rather like to keep the feature.

So, either through a process of switching back on hidden functionality, or be simply re-adding it, this plugin allows you to restore some of that lost functionality.

Depending on which version of WordPress you're running, various pieces of functionality will be available, via an options screen in Adminstration, for you to switch back on.

Here is the current list of restorable options...

1. The link managers (AKA Blogroll) - removed in WordPress 3.5
2. The ability to give links titles - removed in WordPress 4.2
3. Re-add the "Shortlink" button to the post editor - removed in WordPress 4.4

Expect more to be added in due course!

**The code for re-adding the link titles option was taken from the plugin [Restore Link Title Field](https://wordpress.org/plugins/restore-link-title-field/ "Restore Link Title Field"), written by Samuel Wood (Otto) and Sergey Biryukov**

== Installation ==

Restore Lost Functionality can be found and installed via the Plugin menu within WordPress administration. Alternatively, it can be downloaded and installed manually...

1. Upload the entire `restore-lost-functionality` folder to your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. That's it, you're done - you just need to add the shortcode!

Once installed, head to Settings -> Restore Functionality to switch on the WordPress functions that you'd like to bring back to life!
