Smart Links Safety: Avoid linking inside existing links and code blocks

Description: AegisLink avoids inserting links inside <a>, <code>, <pre>, <script>, and <style> blocks. How it works: It tokenizes HTML into tags/text and only replaces words in safe text segments. How to access / enable: No setup required; this protection is built-in when Smart Links is enabled. Recommended setting: Recommended to prevent broken HTML, broken scripts, and nested links.

Smart Links Frontend Coverage: Content, excerpts, widgets, Elementor

Description: Smart Links can apply across common WordPress content surfaces and Elementor output. How it works: AegisLink hooks into the_content, the_excerpt, widget_text_content, and Elementor render filters when not in admin. How to access / enable: Enable Smart Links site-wide and ensure your keyword rules are saved. Recommended setting: Great for consistent internal linking across posts, landing pages, and builder layouts.

Smart Links Limits: Maximum 100 rules

Description: Smart Links supports up to 100 keyword rules per site to keep processing predictable on shared hosting. How it works: The admin UI limits rows and the stored option keeps the map manageable. How to access / enable: WP Admin → AegisLink → Keyword Links → Smart Links section. Recommended setting: Stay under 100 and prioritize your most valuable internal link targets.

Smart Links Action Buttons: Add / Remove rows

Description: The Smart Links table supports quick row management for building your keyword map. How it works: The last row shows an Add button to append a new mapping; Remove deletes the row UI entry. How to access / enable: WP Admin → AegisLink → Keyword Links → Smart Links table → Add/Remove. Recommended setting: Keep your map tidy and delete unused rules to reduce unnecessary scanning.

Smart Links Validation: One-word keyword requirement

Description: Smart Links require keywords to be a single word (no spaces). How it works: AegisLink ignores any keyword containing whitespace to avoid unexpected phrase linking and formatting issues. How to access / enable: WP Admin → AegisLink → Keyword Links → Keyword field (one word) → Save Smart Links. Recommended setting: Use concise, branded keywords (product names, category handles) for best results.

Smart Links Rule: One keyword = one URL

Description: Each Smart Link rule maps a single one-word keyword to exactly one destination URL. How it works: Rules are normalized and stored; matches are case-insensitive so “AegisWAF” and “aegiswaf” behave the same. How to access / enable: WP Admin → AegisLink → Keyword Links → add rows under Smart Links table → Save Smart Links. Recommended setting: Use unique keywords and avoid common words to prevent over-linking.

Smart Links Setting: Enable Smart Links site-wide

Description: Turns Smart Links processing on across your content and supported builders. How it works: When enabled, AegisLink applies Smart Links filters to post content, excerpts, widgets, and Elementor render output. How to access / enable: WP Admin → AegisLink → Keyword Links → check “Enable Smart Links site-wide” → Save Smart Links. Recommended setting: Enable only after you add at least a few keyword rules to avoid unnecessary processing.

Keyword Links: What are Smart Links (Keyword → URL)?

Description: Smart Links let you create one-word keywords that automatically link to a destination URL across your site content. How it works: When enabled, AegisLink scans content and replaces whole-word matches with an <a> link, while avoiding links/code blocks to prevent breakage. How to access / enable: WP Admin → AegisLink → Keyword Links → Smart Links section. Recommended setting: Start with your brand/product terms (e.g., AegisWAF, AegisShield) and link them to their core pages.

Word Cloud Branding: “Powered by AegisLink” footer behavior

Description: AegisLink includes a small “Powered by AegisLink” footer as part of the free plugin experience. How it works: The footer is rendered automatically in output to keep branding consistent and non-editable by site users. How to access / enable: No action required; it appears automatically when the shortcode is rendered. Recommended setting: Leave enabled as-is; this supports the free plugin ecosystem while keeping the UI clean.

Word Cloud Shortcode: post_id override

Description: Allows you to build a word cloud for a specific post/page ID instead of the current page. How it works: When set, AegisLink extracts content from the provided post_id and renders the cloud from that content. How to access / enable: Use: [aegislink_keywords_block post_id="123"] anywhere you want the cloud to represent a different page. Recommended setting: Use post_id when you want a landing page to show a cloud of a flagship article or product page.
