Some Features

  • Process links for post contents, comment text, text widgets, or the whole page
  • Domain filtering:
    • You can specify which sub-domains of your website to consider local (all subdomains, no subdomain, or some)
    • You can specify which external domains to consider local
    • You can forbid certain external domains (e.g. pron.com or warez.com) and replace URLs linking to them with a URL of choice (useful for filtering links in visitors' comments)
    • Wildcard support, e.g. *.example.com, *.subdomain.example.com
  • You can add rel="external", rel="nofollow" or any custom relation tag you could think of to external links
  • You can specify CSS classes for both local and external links, as well as external image links
  • You can use provided CSS rules (an external icon is added to each external link) or define your own
  • Choose whether or not to open a completely new window for each external link
  • Choose between three 'new window' modes: onclick attribute, target attribute or jQuery
  • Add a prefix to external links. Example use would be a redirection page that warns your visitors about the danger of visiting external sites, e.g. http://yourdomain.com/out?
  • WordPress Multi-site compatible
  • And more...

It is highly recommended that you give the Official Documentation a good read to make the most out of BWP External Links.
