WP Links PRO lets site administrators set how internal and external links appear and behave across rendered posts, pages, comments, widgets, and other content. Choose whether links open in a new window or tab and set follow or nofollow behavior.

Set link attributes and icons

Configure rel values including noopener, noreferrer, ugc (User Generated Content), and sponsored. You can also set link titles and CSS classes. FontAwesome and Dashicons provide icons to identify internal or external links according to the configured settings.

The add-on filters rendered output on the fly without changing content stored in the database. When WP Links PRO is deactivated, that content remains as it was before filtering.

Apply behavior to selected links

Link Rules let you define settings for chosen link groups. A template tag can apply extension settings to specific content. The data-wpel-link attribute can indicate whether a link is external, internal, or exclude. You can set the attribute yourself to influence how an individual link is handled; the value ignore excludes it from processing.

Review links and external clicks

The Link Scanner checks links and reports whether each is broken or redirected, its target and rel attribute, and the page containing it. Scanning can cover the complete page or focus on posts, comments, or widgets. Exit Confirmation adds a confirmation step when a user clicks an external link.

Use network settings and built-in hooks

WP Links PRO includes network settings for WPMU installations. Built-in actions and filters are available for developers and advanced users who need to adapt link handling for particular content or groups.

Configure and review your website

Install and activate WP Links PRO in WordPress, then open its administration page. Set behavior for internal and external links, including window or tab handling, rel values, icons, and other attributes. Add Link Rules or template tags for more specific handling. After saving, use the Link Scanner to review destinations and attributes, then check representative posts, comments, and widgets to confirm the settings work as intended.
