Overview
WordPress internal links can stop working when a page is renamed, moved, or given a different URL. This plugin makes links sticky by associating them with page IDs instead of fixed URLs. When a linked page's URL changes, the plugin inserts its current permalink when the page is displayed.
The plugin handles links in post content, widgets, string translations, and shortcodes. It can also scan existing links for bulk conversion, identify broken links, and revert sticky links to regular permalinks. WPML users can adjust filters for links to pages in other languages, which helps manage multilingual navigation.
Features
- Links tied to page IDs: Internal links use page IDs instead of fixed URLs, helping them continue to point to the same content after URL changes.
- Current permalinks on display: The plugin inserts the linked page's current permalink when content is displayed, keeping navigation aligned with URL changes.
- Links across site content: Sticky links can be used in post content, widgets, string translations, and links generated inside shortcodes.
- Bulk link conversion: Scan existing regular links and convert them to sticky links in bulk, rather than updating each link individually.
- Broken link identification: The plugin can identify broken links, helping site owners find internal navigation that may need attention.
- Control across languages: Customize filters for links to pages in different languages, supporting cross-language navigation on WPML sites.
- Revert to regular permalinks: Change sticky links back to regular permalinks when you want to use standard URLs for internal links.
Best for
- WordPress sites using WPML
- Multilingual publishers managing internal links
- Site owners who change page URLs
