<p>Convert all external links into internal or nofollow links!</p>
<p>This plugin is a fork of the hijacked and vulnarable “WP No External Links” plugin.</p>
<p>The following critical issues have been fixed:<br />
– Removed Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability.<br />
– Removed backdoor injected into original plugin.<br />
– Fixed creation of the new <code>links_stats</code> table: added charset collation and table existence check.<br />
– Fixed “Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes” error on creating <code>mask_links</code> table.<br />
– Added removing tables on uninstallation.</p>
<p>No External Links plugin is designed for specialists who care about the number of outgoing links that can be found by search engines. Now you can make all external links internal! Plugin does not change anything in website database – it just processes the output. Now you don’t need to worry about your page rank dropping because of spam bots. You write any kind of http link and it becomes internal, hidden or nofollow! Of course, all the links will still be usable.</p>
<p>To make the long story short, your links like “http://gmail.com” will be masked into<br />
“http://YourBlog.com/goto/http://gmail.com” – or<br />
“http://YourBlog.com?goto=http://gmail.com”</p>
<h4>Features</h4>

<li>Masking links in posts, pages, comments or on the whole website including widget, theme footer, etc.</li>

</ul>
<p>If you need any extra features, just create a ticket via support forum.</p>
<h4>Known Issues</h4>
<p>This plugin may conflict with your caching plugins, including Hyper Cache. Usually adding redirect page to caching plugin exclusions works fine.</p>
<p>If you disabled this plugin and still have links masked – check your chaching plugins.</p>

<p>The external links plugin for WordPress lets you process outgoing links differently from internal links.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>Under Settings / External Links, you can configure the plugin to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Process all outgoing links, rather than only those within your entries’ content and text widgets.</li>
<li>Add an external link icon to outgoing links. You can use a class=”no_icon” attribute on links to override this.</li>
<li>Add rel=nofollow to the links. (Note: You can use a rel=”follow” attribute on links to override this.)</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Turn on “autolinks” functionality.</li>
<li>Domains/subdomains you wish to Exclude from processing.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Auto Links</h4>
<p>The Autolink functionality automatically converts urls to hyperlinked urls in post/page content, excerpts and text widgets.</p>
<p>Before:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>www.semiologic.com</p>
</blockquote>
<p>After:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.semiologic.com" rel="nofollow ugc">www.semiologic.com</a></p>
