URL Autolinker by Jerin.ca

Automatically link saved website names/aliases in blog posts to their URLs. Includes per-link new tab, nofollow, and global link limits.

Scott Reilly

This plugin allows you to define words or phrases that, whenever they appear in your posts or pages, get automatically linked to the URLs of your choosing. For instance, wherever you may mention the word “WordPress”, that can get automatically linked as “<a href="https://wordpress.org" rel="ugc">WordPress</a>“.
Additional features of the plugin controlled via settings and filters:
<ul>
<li>Text linkification can be enabled for comments (it isn’t by default)</li>
<li>Text linkification can be made case sensitive (it isn’t by default)</li>
<li>Text linkification can be limited to doing only one linkification per term, per post (by default, all occurrences of a term are linkified)</li>
<li>Text linkification links can be set to open in a new window (it isn’t by default)</li>
</ul>
You can also link multiple terms to the same link and only define that link once in the settings via use of a special link syntax.
A number of filters exist to programmatically customize the behavior of the plugin, all of which are documented.

<h3>Hooks</h3>
The plugin exposes a number of filters for hooking. Typically, code making use of filters should ideally be put into a mu-plugin or site-specific plugin (which is beyond the scope of this readme to explain). Bear in mind that most of the features controlled by these filters are configurable via the plugin’s settings page. These filters are likely only of interest to advanced users able to code.

 */
function more_text_replacements( $filters ) {
 $filters[] = 'the_meta'; // Here you could put in the name of any filter you want
 return $filters;

add_filter( 'c2c_linkify_text_filters', 'more_text_replacements' );
