MainWP: Links Manager 2.1

MainWP Links Manager is a WordPress plugin built to help you control internal and external links across your WordPress network. It lets you create, edit, and remove link rules directly from posts and pages, including keyword-based linking. The plugin automates internal linking by matching keywords to post or page titles on a per-site basis (not network-wide), reducing manual work. It also supports link redirection and link cloaking so visitors see a seamless URL while the plugin redirects to the intended destination. With click tracking, graphs, and reporting-friendly stats, you can monitor how often links are used across the network.

Designed for network admins managing multiple sites, it processes and serves link requests from your child site, helping keep your MainWP dashboard details less exposed. You can manage links in groups, apply custom CSS classes for styling, and set a base permalink for redirects (defaulting to /goto/). This combination supports affiliate linking, content cross-linking, and cross-site SEO workflows.

Main Features

• Keyword link lists — Add keywords and define where each keyword link should point across selected sites.
• Automatic internal linking — Auto-link matching post or page titles using relevant anchors on a per-site basis.
• External and internal link management — Create, edit, and remove both internal and outbound links from within WordPress content.
• Link redirection — Redirect visitors to destinations using a configurable base permalink (e.g., /goto/).
