   Hi, I'm looking for a plugin that can automatically link a word in a post.

   example; i set URL "google.com" for word "google"
   so every time I write "google" in my post it automatically link the word to "google.com"

   any suggestion of plugins? I tried searching.

   thanks for reading. =)

   You can add this function to functions.php in your theme directory (create if you don't have)

   function my_google_link($content) {
   $content = str_replace('Google','<a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a>',$content);
   return $content;
   }
   
   add_filter('the_content','my_google_link');

   thanks, but that method doesn't seem easy because I have infinite words and different links on each words..any other way?

   You need to list your words and links in an array and do str_replace in foreach.

   function replace_infinite_words($content) {
   
   $wordlists = Array('word1' => 'http://example.com/1',
   		'word2' => 'http://example.com/2',
   		'word3' => 'http://example.com/3',
   		);
   
   foreach($wordlists as $key=>$value) {
   	$content = str_replace($key,'<a href="'.$value.'">'.$key.'</a>',$content);
   }
   
   return $content;
   }
   
   add_filter('the_content','replace_infinite_words');
