Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Kombat Links automates internal linking across your entire WordPress site. Instead of manually editing every post to add links, you define keyword-to-URL rules once — and the plugin handles everything else automatically.

Every time you publish or update a post, Kombat Links scans the content and inserts the correct internal links based on your active rules. Existing content can be updated in bulk with a single click.

Key Features

  • Automatic link insertion — links are added on every post save, automatically
  • Bulk Re-link — apply all rules to existing posts and pages with a real-time progress bar
  • Usage tracking — see exactly how many posts contain each rule’s link; click to see the full list
  • Post type targeting — apply rules to Posts, Pages, or both
  • WooCommerce support — link to WooCommerce products directly from the rule editor (when WooCommerce is active)
  • Smart Suggestions — the plugin suggests potential link targets based on your existing page titles
  • Non-destructive — links are never inserted inside headings (H1–H6) or inside existing <a> tags
  • Remove all links — strip all Kombat Links links from your entire site in one click
  • Settings control — configure max links per post, first-occurrence-only mode, case sensitivity, and new-tab behaviour

How It Works

  • Go to Smart Links in your WordPress admin menu
  • Add a rule: type a keyword and select the destination post or page
  • Click Re-link All Posts to apply rules to existing content
  • From that point on, every new or updated post is linked automatically

SEO Benefits

Internal linking is one of the most effective and most neglected SEO techniques. Kombat Links helps you build a consistent internal link structure without spending hours manually editing posts.

Links are stored as standard HTML

Kombat Links inserts links directly into post content as plain <a> tags — no shortcodes, no overlays, no dynamic injections. Links persist even if the plugin is deactivated.
