Description
When you change a page URL in WordPress, all internal links pointing to that page can break — this plugin fixes that automatically.
Auto Update Page Links scans your site’s content, navigation menus, and block templates for outdated URLs and updates them whenever a page slug or permalink changes. It also logs these updates safely in the uploads directory.

- Page content
- Navigation menus
- Block templates
- Template parts
- Skips the page being edited to avoid recursion
- Logs all updates in /uploads/auto-update-page-links/
- Safe and lightweight — no database overhead
- Works seamlessly with the Block Editor (Gutenberg)
