The main purpose of this plugin is easy link building. For example, you can create a page or post with detail description of some term. Most likely, this term is used in other posts and it would be appropriate to put a links from that posts to you page. But doing this operation manually is very time consuming task. This WordPress plugin allow you to maintain a list of terms and assign links to them. Plugin automatically replaces terms occurrences in posts with appropriate links. You can control the number of terms replacements. This plugin allows. Create, update and delete terms through admin interface (Terms menu). Each term can contain one or several word forms (e.g. pear, pears). Assign a link to a term. This link can point to your blog post, page, custom post type or to a page on another site. Control how many terms will be converted to links in each post. Select where you want to replace terms, in posts content, in posts comments or both. Set several word forms for each term. For example, “apple|apples”. Word forms should be separated with a “|” symbol. Search for terms in posts content and convert them to appropriate links. This task is performed automatically when plugin is activated. Disable terms to links conversion for individual posts. Wrap links with arbitrary text (for example, you can wrap link with strong tag) Export and import terms and plugin options. Export terms in CSV format. Packet terms creation.
