### 󠀁[Works Fine with WP 5.5](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-fine-with-wp-5-5/)󠁿

 [Kevin4fm](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kevin4fm/) August 30, 2020

Was a little dubious installing this, as I’m running WP v.5.5. I’ve done only limited
testing so far, but no problems yet. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do, and
does it easily and well. Perhaps it hasn’t been updated for such a long time simply
because it doesn’t need to be. I’d give it 5 stars, except that I haven’t yet found
a way to add a unique style to the created hyperlinks … probably my problem, not
the plugin’s!

Used it on our website to quickly add several hundred links to internal pages and
this just worked perfectly! Thank you so much!

### 󠀁[Perfect Plugin that works with Arabic UTF-8](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-plugin-that-works-with-arabic-utf-8/)󠁿

Finally after searching for months, I found this plugin. It can handle linking Arabic
terms (more than one word) and link them successfully to the links I want. All other
plugin I tried did not do the job. Also, it can link internal and external links.
Thanks a lot for the author.
