The external links plugin for WordPress lets you process outgoing links differently from internal links.

Download Version 4.0.6

The external links plugin for WordPress lets you process outgoing links differently from internal links.

Under Settings / External Links, you can configure the plugin to:

  • Process all outgoing links, rather than only those within your entries' content.
  • Add an external link icon to outgoing links. You can use a class="no_icon" attribute on links to override this.
  • Open outgoing links in new windows. Note that this can damage your visitor's trust towards your site in that they can think your site used a pop-under.
  • Add rel=nofollow to the links. You can use a rel="nofollow" attribute on links to override this.
