WP-HideRefer

When your readers follow links from your blog, the linked site can see where they come from. Thus; your blog is known by every site you’ve ever linked to.

WP-HideRefer adds proxies to your outgoing links, keeping your site private!

There are many plugins to anonymize links. What makes WP-HideRefer better is:

• it’s 100% WordPress API compliant
• it’s entirely server-side (= cacheable & no JavaScript!)
• therefore; supports infinite-scroll (AJAX / streaming)
• it correctly filters your feeds and comments
• it can handle your manually anonymized links!

1. Extract the wp-hiderefer-folder and transfer it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Go to Settings->WP-HideRefer to adjust settings.

What’s the White List for?

Once the plugin is activated it redirects all links via a proxy, except for the URLs you enter in this list.

If you used to manually add proxies to your links, add those proxies to the White List to avoid double-proxying. You should also white list your own domain.

What anonymizing services are supported?

You can use any service which runs of URL parameters.
