<p>Identify Headings – Allow visitors to link to parts of your page by automatically adding IDs to important elements</p>
<p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ABR-nzAYs9I?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe></span></p>
<p>This small and unintrusive plugin adds ID attributes to all heading, paragraph, and list elements in a post or page. It does not modify existing IDs.</p>
<p>Adding IDs to these elements allows people to link to the heading, paragraph, or list element that they are interested in. This is especially important on sites that have lots of content on a page or post. Without this plugin, site visitors have to go to the page and then scroll down to try and find the item of interest.</p>
<p>This plugin does not modify the display of your content at all. It simply adds missing IDs and a class (in case you want to modify the display yourself). Also, this plugin does not modify your content in the database. It adds the IDs as part of the page display.</p>
<p>This plugin does not have any configuration screens. No configuration is required.</p>
<p><a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/faq" rel="nofollow ugc">See this page</a> for an example of how this plugin could be enhanced (when you roll over a heading, a hash character appears to tell you you can link to it).</p>
<p>Installation</p>
<p>There are no special requirements to install this plugin. Just use the standard WordPress plugin installation routine.</p>

<p>The XFN Relationship Link Extension seamlessly integrates XFN (XHTML Friends Network) relationship options into WordPress’s native link interface. This plugin enhances every block that supports links—including Paragraph, Button, Navigation, List, and more—with comprehensive relationship tagging capabilities through an intuitive collapsible interface.</p>
<p>XFN is a simple way to represent human relationships using hyperlinks. By adding XFN relationships to your links, you can indicate how you’re connected to the people and organizations you link to, creating a more semantic and meaningful web.</p>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<h3>Complete XFN 1.1 Specification Support</h3>
<p>This plugin implements the full XFN 1.1 specification with all relationship categories:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Friendship relationships</strong>: contact, acquaintance, friend</li>
<li><strong>Physical relationships</strong>: met (have you met this person?)</li>
<li><strong>Professional relationships</strong>: co-worker, colleague</li>
<li><strong>Geographical relationships</strong>: co-resident, neighbor</li>
<li><strong>Family relationships</strong>: child, parent, sibling, spouse, kin</li>
<li><strong>Romantic relationships</strong>: muse, crush, date, sweetheart</li>
<li><strong>Identity relationships</strong>: me (link to yourself)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Dual Interface Integration with Collapsible Design</h3>
<p>The plugin provides XFN controls in two convenient locations, both featuring a clean collapsible interface:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Link Advanced Panel</strong> (Always enabled): Collapsible XFN section in link popovers for inline links – works immediately after installation</li>
<li><strong>Inspector Controls</strong> (Optional): Panel in the block sidebar for Button, Image, Navigation, and Embed blocks – enable in Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Link Extension for XFN</li>
</ul>
<h3>Seamless Integration with WordPress</h3>
<p>The plugin extends the existing link interfaces without disrupting your workflow:</p>
<ul>
<li>Works with Paragraph, Button, Navigation, List, Embed, and all other link-supporting blocks</li>
<li>Compatible with both Post Editor and Site Editor</li>
<li>Preserves existing rel attributes (nofollow, noopener, noreferrer)</li>
<li>No configuration required – works immediately after activation</li>
<li>Clean collapsible interface matches WordPress design patterns</li>
</ul>
<h3>Advanced User Interface with Collapsible Sections</h3>
<p>The relationship selection interface is designed for optimal usability with modern collapsible design:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Collapsible XFN sections</strong>: Clean toggle buttons with expand/collapse animation</li>
<li><strong>Visual relationship pills</strong>: Color-coded indicators show active relationships at a glance</li>
<li><strong>Count badges</strong>: Quickly see how many relationships are active without expanding</li>
<li><strong>Intelligent grouping</strong>: Related options are logically organized by category within sections</li>
<li><strong>Button groups</strong>: Modern toggle-style buttons for easy relationship selection</li>
<li><strong>Mutual exclusivity</strong>: Button groups prevent conflicting relationships (e.g., can’t be both “friend” and “acquaintance”)</li>
<li><strong>Multi-selection support</strong>: Checkbox-style groups allow multiple compatible relationships</li>
<li><strong>Real-time validation</strong>: Prevents invalid relationship combinations</li>
<li><strong>Smooth animations</strong>: Fluid expand/collapse transitions</li>
</ul>

<li><strong>Manual XFN</strong>: Manually entered XFN relationships in rel attributes work immediately</li>
</ol>
<h3>Troubleshooting</h3>
<h3>XFN options don’t appear in floating toolbar</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Check block type</strong>: Only blocks that are entirely links (Button, Navigation Link, etc.) show the XFN toolbar button</li>
<li><strong>Verify WordPress version</strong>: Requires WordPress 6.4 or later</li>
<li><strong>Clear browser cache</strong>: Try refreshing the page or clearing browser cache</li>
<li><strong>Check for block selection</strong>: Ensure the block is properly selected</li>
</ol>
<h3>XFN section won’t expand in link popover</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Check Advanced section</strong>: XFN options appear when you click “Advanced” in the link popover, then look for the “XFN” toggle</li>
<li><strong>Try clicking the toggle</strong>: The XFN section requires an additional click to expand</li>
<li><strong>Verify in block editor</strong>: Plugin only works with Gutenberg blocks, not Classic Editor</li>
<li><strong>Check browser console</strong>: Look for JavaScript errors that might prevent interaction</li>
</ol>
<h3>Collapsible sections not animating smoothly</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Check browser compatibility</strong>: Ensure you’re using a modern, supported browser</li>
<li><strong>Verify CSS loading</strong>: Check that plugin stylesheets are loading properly</li>
<li><strong>Test in incognito mode</strong>: Rule out browser extension interference</li>
<li><strong>Disable other plugins</strong>: Test for plugin conflicts by temporarily disabling other plugins</li>
</ol>
<h3>Count badges not updating</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Try refreshing</strong>: Sometimes a page refresh resolves display issues</li>
<li><strong>Check JavaScript console</strong>: Look for errors that might prevent updates</li>
<li><strong>Test relationship changes</strong>: Make sure you’re actually changing relationships</li>
<li><strong>Verify plugin activation</strong>: Ensure the plugin is properly activated</li>
</ol>
<h3>Relationships not saving properly</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Check browser console</strong>: Look for JavaScript errors that might prevent saving</li>
<li><strong>Verify user permissions</strong>: Ensure you have permission to edit the content</li>
<li><strong>Test with default theme</strong>: Temporarily switch to a default WordPress theme</li>
<li><strong>Disable other plugins</strong>: Test for plugin conflicts by temporarily disabling other plugins</li>
</ol>
<h3>Keyboard navigation issues with collapsible sections</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Test tab order</strong>: Use Tab key to navigate to toggle buttons</li>
<li><strong>Try space/enter</strong>: Space or Enter should expand/collapse sections</li>
<li><strong>Use arrow keys</strong>: Arrow keys work within expanded button groups</li>
<li><strong>Check browser settings</strong>: Ensure keyboard navigation is enabled in browser settings</li>
</ol>
<h3>Screen reader compatibility with collapsible interface</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Test with multiple screen readers</strong>: NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver are all supported</li>
<li><strong>Check expansion announcements</strong>: Section state changes should be announced</li>
<li><strong>Verify ARIA states</strong>: All collapsible elements should have proper ARIA attributes</li>
<li><strong>Update screen reader</strong>: Ensure you’re using a current version of your screen reader</li>
</ol>
