Streamlining WordPress Link Management for Simplicity
======================================================================
In the realm of WordPress administration, a familiar face has made a comeback. The Links Manager, once a default feature, has found a new home in the sidebar under its own section titled "Links."
For those who may have missed it during its brief hiatus, the Links Manager is a powerful tool that allows users to manage their site's links with ease. One of its key features is the ability to white-list specific links, enabling users to pass on link juice by simply inputting the URLs in the plugin's settings panel.
The Links Manager can be easily reclaimed by downloading the Links Manager plugin, the official way to restore this handy tool. This plugin also provides an example of custom permalinks for WordPress, a feature that was much-loved by many users.
Interestingly, the Links Manager was a standard feature in earlier WordPress versions but was removed in version 3.5. However, it's back and better than ever, offering users the ability to choose different slugs/URLs for each post, tag, and category.
But that's not all. Users can activate the Links Manager themselves by adding a specific line in the functions.php file of their theme. This means that users have full control over the custom permalinks for all WordPress pages, including Posts, Pages, categories, Tags, and more.
In addition to the Links Manager, there's another plugin worth mentioning: WP External Links. This plugin offers basic options for managing external links in WordPress, including the ability to open external links in new tabs, add nofollow or noreferrer attributes, and customise link icons and tooltips for external URLs. It provides users with control over the behaviour and appearance of externally linked content within WordPress posts and pages.
Lastly, it's important to note that users who had links before the upgrade and were using an earlier version than 3.5 should have the Link Manager already installed. For those who don't, the plugin is a one-line plugin that only adds a filter to activate the Links Manager.
Moreover, users can define their CSS styling for the custom class set for all outbound links with this plugin, adding a touch of personalisation to their site's links.
In conclusion, the return of the Links Manager and the availability of WP External Links are welcome news for WordPress users seeking to manage their site's links more effectively. These tools offer a wide range of features, from customising permalinks to managing external links, making them essential additions to any WordPress user's toolkit.
