Select Yahoo Finance, Stocktwits, Finviz, Seeking Alpha, or X search; configure a custom HTTPS destination; add symbol-specific mappings; and optionally let readers choose another enabled destination.<\/p>\n\n<p>Automatic linking is disabled until an administrator enables it. Original post content is never changed. The plugin does not fetch quotes, maintain a market-data catalog, require an account, or make a background request to a financial provider.<\/p>\n\n<p>Cashtags are not universal instrument identifiers. The default matcher is deliberately conservative and does not validate a ticker. For mixed technical and investing content, use strict registry-only mode and configure the symbols you cover.<\/p>\n\n<h3>External services<\/h3>\n\n<p>The plugin itself sends no visitor data to an external service. When a visitor clicks an enabled research link, their browser navigates directly to the selected provider. Site owners choose which providers to enable.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Yahoo Finance: https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/ -- https:\/\/legal.yahoo.com\/us\/en\/yahoo\/terms\/otos\/index.html and https:\/\/legal.yahoo.com\/us\/en\/yahoo\/privacy\/index.html<\/li>\n<li>Stocktwits: https:\/\/stocktwits.com\/ -- https:\/\/stocktwits.com\/terms and https:\/\/stocktwits.com\/privacy<\/li>\n<li>Finviz: https:\/\/finviz.com\/ -- https:\/\/finviz.com\/terms.ashx and https:\/\/finviz.com\/privacy.ashx<\/li>\n<li>Seeking Alpha: https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/ -- https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/page\/terms-of-use and https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/page\/privacy_policy<\/li>\n<li>X search: https:\/\/x.com\/ -- https:\/\/x.com\/tos and https:\/\/x.com\/privacy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>These are third-party research\/discussion destinations, not investment advice. Availability, account requirements, regional restrictions, and provider content are controlled by each provider.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the plugin folder to <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> or install its ZIP from Plugins &gt; Add New.<\/li>\n<li>Activate VideoWhisper Cashtag Links.<\/li>\n<li>Open Settings &gt; Cashtag Links, choose at least one destination, select the content types, and enable automatic linking when ready.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>Use <code>[vw_cashtag symbol=\"AAPL\"]<\/code> to add one explicit link. Use <code>[vw_cashtag_list]<\/code> in a post or page to list symbols detected from that article's saved content.<\/p>\n\n<p>Posts and pages are selected by default. Public custom post types can be selected in Settings &gt; Cashtag Links. Market suffixes such as <code>$VVSM.DE<\/code> and <code>$IQE.L<\/code> are recognized by default. Lower-case cashtags and numeric market symbols such as <code>$9988.HK<\/code> are opt-in matching formats because they have a higher false-positive risk. You can also append the symbol list after eligible article content in the settings.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"are%20existing%20posts%20changed%3F\"><h3>Are existing posts changed?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. Links are added only to rendered content and disappear when the plugin is disabled or removed.<\/p><\/dd>\n<dt id=\"does%20the%20plugin%20provide%20market%20prices%3F\"><h3>Does the plugin provide market prices?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. It creates direct links only.
