Autolinker builds internal links between the posts you already have. It reads\neach post, finds the most semantically related pages on your site, and asks a\nlanguage model to choose an anchor phrase that already exists, word for word, in\nthe source text. The link is then written into the post content and kept in a\nregistry so it can be tracked, repaired, or removed later.<\/p>\n\n
There is no keyword list to maintain. Relevance comes from meaning, not from\nmatching strings.<\/p>\n\n
Every rejection is written to a journal with a reason, so an empty result is never\nindistinguishable from a broken plugin.<\/p>\n\n
Autolinker does not work without an OpenAI API key that you supply. The plugin\nsends data to the OpenAI API (api.openai.com), a third-party service that is not\naffiliated with this plugin or with WordPress.org.<\/p>\n\n
What is sent:<\/strong> the text content of the posts you choose to process, the titles\nand excerpts of candidate link targets, and the prompts the plugin builds around\nthem. Your API key is stored encrypted in your WordPress database and is sent to\nOpenAI to authenticate each request.<\/p>\n\n When it is sent:<\/strong> only when a post is processed, either automatically on publish\n(if you enable that) or when you trigger a scan. Your post content is never sent to\nOpenAI at any other time.<\/p>\n\n What is not sent:<\/strong> no data is sent to the plugin author, and no post content\nleaves your site other than to OpenAI, as described above.<\/p>\n\n One clarification about link health.<\/strong> The plugin also checks whether the links in\nyour content still resolve. That check runs on a schedule and makes ordinary HTTP\nrequests to the URLs already present in your posts, and to their robots.txt, which it\nhonors. It sends none of your content and involves no third-party service: it only\nvisits the addresses you already link to. Those requests identify themselves with a\nuser agent naming the plugin and your site URL, so the hosts you link to can see that\nthe request came from your site.<\/p>\n\n Using this plugin means your content is processed under OpenAI's terms. Please read\nthem before installing:<\/p>\n\n You pay OpenAI directly for the tokens the plugin consumes. See the FAQ for cost\ncontrol.<\/p>\n\n Sites running WPML or Polylang are detected automatically and links are kept inside\na single language. A French post never links to its English translation.<\/p>\n\n Detection requires at least two configured languages. Translation layers that render\non the fly without duplicating posts (TranslatePress, Weglot, GTranslate) are treated\nas monolingual, because only the original content exists in the database.<\/p>\n\n On a multilingual site the plugin switches to a larger embedding model for better\ncross-language separation. Posts are re-embedded lazily, at their next scan, which\nmeans a one-off token cost the first time each post is processed after you add a\nsecond language.<\/p>\n\n\n Processing runs through WP-Cron. On a site with little traffic, consider a real\nsystem cron calling wp-cron.php so scans do not stall.<\/p>\n\n\n Yes. The plugin has no bundled key and no free tier of its own. You create a key on\nyour own OpenAI account and pay OpenAI for what you use.<\/p><\/dd>\n It depends on how many posts you process and how long they are. Two levers reduce\nit: the per-post link budget caps how many placements are attempted, and embeddings\nare cached, so a post that has not changed is never re-embedded.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Links are written into the post content, with a marker attribute so the plugin\ncan identify its own links later. This is deliberate: the links are real HTML, they\nsurvive in exports, in feeds, and for search engines, and they do not depend on a\nfilter running at display time.<\/p><\/dd>\n The links stay in your content, because they are ordinary HTML. Link tracking,\nhealth checks and repair stop until you reactivate.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Each post has controls to exclude it entirely, to stop it being used as a link\nsource, or to stop it receiving links.<\/p><\/dd>\n Elementor is supported, including content stored in Elementor's own data structure.\nWithin an Elementor page, text editor widgets are linked; other widgets are left\nalone.<\/p>\n\n Builders that store their layout as shortcodes in the post content, such as Divi,\nare linked inside their text, and their shortcodes are left untouched. Text that a\nbuilder keeps in a shortcode attribute rather than in the body, such as a module\ntitle, is never linked: writing there would break the module and the link would be\ninvisible. The journal records those as an anchor found only in a shortcode.<\/p>\n\n Builders that keep their content outside the post content field entirely, such as\nSeedProd, are not supported yet. Nothing is written on those pages, and nothing is\ndamaged either.<\/p><\/dd>\n No, and the reason is structural rather than a list of integrations: the plugin adds\nnothing to the front end. No meta tag, no canonical, no sitemap, no filter on the\ncontent at display time. The links are written into your content as ordinary HTML,\nso an SEO plugin counts them exactly like a link you typed yourself.<\/p>\n\n One behaviour is worth knowing: the plugin does not read the noindex setting of those\nplugins. A page you have marked noindex can still be chosen as a link target. Use the\nper-post controls in the sidebar to exclude it.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Nothing is computed at display time, so a cached page can never serve a version\nwithout the links: they are already part of the stored content. Writing to the post\ncontent goes through the normal WordPress update path, which is the signal WP Rocket,\nW3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, WP Super Cache, WP Fastest Cache and SG Optimizer\nalready watch in order to clear a page by themselves.<\/p>\n\n One case to know about: on an Elementor page, and in ACF fields, the plugin writes to\npost meta instead of the post content. That does not fire the post update hooks, and\nthe plugin sends no purge of its own. If a new link on such a page does not appear,\npurge that page in your caching plugin.<\/p><\/dd>\n Open the journal. Every candidate that was considered and dropped is recorded with a\nreason: below the similarity threshold, rejected by the filtering pass, or an anchor\nthat did not appear verbatim in the source. The last one is the most common, and it\nis working as intended: the plugin will not invent an anchor that is not in your text.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. The only external service is the OpenAI API, and only for the posts you process.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n\n
