• Hi, thank you for this plugin. Maybe a question to add to the FAQ is what happens to the changes that were made with link titles when the plugin is deactivated?

    Also, would you consider adding: 1. An option for link titles that are not internal WP links or non post links like tag pages? 2. An option to use the link text as the link title (especially for the non WP links)?

    Hi @codings thank you for your thread.

    The missing titles are added on the fly.
    When you deactivate the plugin, it will no longer add missing titles.

    All changes are applied dynamically by the plugin. You are not setting up anything that will be lost after deactivation. The plugin does not write anything to the database.

    This version does not include any options. However, your suggestions are very helpful, and I will take them into account. At the moment, I cannot say when an updated version will be available.

    Best regards

    Thank you for the reply!

    I think I am reading these as contradictory statements: “You are not setting up anything that will be lost after deactivation. The plugin does not write anything to the database.” If it doesn’t write anything to the database, then it will be lost upon deactivation, right?

    If it fills in all of the missing titles, then the plugin is deactivated, do the titles that were filled in when activated become missing/empty titles again, or will the filled in titles remain unchanged from the action taken by the plugin while it was activated?

    Thank you again for your hard work on this plugin.

    You are welcome @codings !

    Your settings will not be lost because there is nothing you need to configure. The plugin automatically adds the missing titles without you having to do anything.

    There are no settings that will be lost because the settings don’t exist. It’s like worrying about losing your third arm. Sorry for the stupid example. It’s just to say that the sentence means that you can’t lose something that was never created in the first place.

    When you deactivate the plugin, you don’t lose any work, because no permanent changes were ever made. You can’t lose something that doesn’t exist.

    Of course, you lose the titles after deactivation. This is clear.

    If you want the missing titles to appear again, simply reactivate the plugin.

    In short:

    • You activate the plugin → it automatically adds the missing titles to the content.
    • You deactivate the plugin → it stops adding the missing titles, and everything returns to the way it was before activation.

    In my opinion, after deactivating a plugin, you should have the same situation that was before activating that plugin. If you could still have the same functionality after plugin deactivation, it would be a nightmare when you decide to deactivate some plugins.

    I hope it’s clearer now.

    Best regards

    Jose
