The external links plugin for WordPress lets you process outgoing links differently from internal links.
Usage
Under Settings / External Links, you can configure the plugin to:
- Process all outgoing links, rather than only those within your entries’ content and text widgets.
- Add an external link icon to outgoing links. You can use a class=”no_icon” attribute on links to override this.
- Add rel=nofollow to the links. (Note: You can use a rel=”follow” attribute on links to override this.)
- Open outgoing links in new windows. Note that this can damage your visitor’s trust towards your site in that they can think your site used a pop-under.
- Turn on “autolinks” functionality.
- Domains/subdomains you wish to Exclude from processing.
Auto Links
The Autolink functionality automatically converts urls to hyperlinked urls in post/page content, excerpts and text widgets.
