详情介绍:
- Block editor sidebar: lists related posts, each with the sentence in your draft that fits best and the proposed anchor phrase highlighted in it. Insert links the first occurrence of the anchor in the paragraph that holds that sentence, using the editor's own link format, so it looks exactly like a link you added by hand. Change the anchor before inserting, or Skip a suggestion so it stops showing for this post.
- Link from other posts on the same topic (block editor sidebar): find published posts on the same topic that could link to the one you are editing and add the link in one of them with "Add link in that post", without leaving the editor. That other post is saved right away; a revision is saved when the post type supports revisions.
- Classic editor meta box: lists related posts with the target title, a relevance score and an editable anchor, with Insert and Skip for each and a Refresh button. Insert links the anchor in the paragraph the suggestion was made for, in the text currently in the editor, following the same rules as bulk linking (see "Built to be light"). In classic HTML, when no paragraph matches (the suggestion came without a matching sentence, or you edited that paragraph since), it falls back to the first suitable occurrence of the anchor; if the anchor cannot be placed it says so and adds nothing.
- Insert in the sidebar or the meta box only changes the post in the editor. Nothing is saved until you save the post.
- Suggestions are based on the text currently in the editor, unsaved changes included. In the block editor they refresh automatically once the word count has changed by about 50 words (you can turn this off under Settings → Suggestions) and whenever you click Refresh. The classic editor box loads suggestions when the screen opens and updates them when you click Refresh.
- Link report: inbound and outbound internal link counts for every post, with orphans and "fewer than 2 inbound" one click away, search, sort, CSV export.
- Fix an orphan from the report: pick from suggested source posts and insert links straight into them.
- Bulk linking: choose up to 50 posts per batch (orphans, posts with fewer than 2 inbound links or all indexed posts, each taken fewest inbound links first, or up to 50 specific post IDs), review every proposal with its sentence and anchor, then apply. Every changed post is saved right away; a revision is saved when the post type supports revisions. Undo removes the links a batch added in one click and keeps their text; if you removed one of those links or changed its text after the batch ran, Undo leaves that link alone, says so, and still removes the batch's other links.
- Link audit (weekly and on demand): links to posts that were unpublished, trashed or deleted after the link was indexed, generic anchors like "click here", anchors that are over-used for one target, and links to noindex pages.
- Custom tables, no post meta bloat, indexing in Action Scheduler batches that stop once they have run for half of PHP's
max_execution_time(at least 5 and at most 20 seconds; 20 seconds when there is no limit) and then continue in smaller batches - Never places links inside headings, existing links, code or buttons
- Bulk linking, "Add link in that post", fixing an orphan from the report and Insert in the classic editor box only link a paragraph that has fewer links than "Max links per paragraph" (1 by default, so a paragraph that already has a link is left alone). Insert in the block editor sidebar links the paragraph of the suggestion you click and does not count the links already in it.
- Polylang and WPML aware: suggestions stay within the post's language

常见问题:
Does it send my content anywhere?
Not unless you turn on AI rerank and click it. Indexing, suggestions, the report, the audit and bulk linking run on your own server. With AI rerank on, each run sends the current post's title, headings and up to the first 1,500 characters of its text, plus candidate titles and excerpts, to the provider you selected, and only after you confirm the token estimate.
Will it change my posts without asking?
No. Insert in the block editor sidebar or in the classic editor box changes only the post you are editing, inside the editor; it is saved when you save the post. "Add link in that post" (under "Link from other posts on the same topic") is different: it adds the link to that other, published post and saves it immediately. Fixing an orphan from the report and bulk linking also save each changed post right away, and each bulk batch can be undone. In all three cases a revision is saved when the post type supports revisions.
What about page builders?
Suggestions work in the block editor sidebar and in the classic editor box. Posts built with Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WPBakery, Bricks or Oxygen can still be suggested as link targets, but Anchormender does not insert links into them: Insert is switched off while editing such a post, and bulk linking, fixing an orphan and "Link from other posts on the same topic" never pick one as the post that gets the link. Developers can adjust the detection with the anchormender_is_builder_post filter.
Which post types are supported?
Posts and pages by default; add any public post type under Settings → Indexing.
Does it work with Yoast SEO, Rank Math or SEOPress?
Yes. Anchormender reads their noindex flags for the audit.
Does the plugin send anything to its author?
No. Anchormender has no server of its own and sends no usage statistics or telemetry. The index, suggestions, reports and bulk linking all run on your server. The only outbound requests are the optional AI rerank described under "External services", which is off until you turn it on and connect a provider under Settings → Connectors or enter your own API key.
Does AI rerank use the WordPress AI Client?
Yes, on WordPress 7.0 and later. Choose "WordPress AI (Settings → Connectors)" under Anchormender → Settings → AI assist (it is the default there), and requests go through WordPress's built-in AI Client to the provider you connected, with the key WordPress keeps. On older WordPress versions, or if you prefer, you can enter your own API key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint instead.
Does the bundled Action Scheduler conflict with other plugins?
No. Anchormender loads Action Scheduler 3.9.3 from lib/action-scheduler/. Action Scheduler is built for this: each copy registers its version with ActionScheduler_Versions behind function_exists() and class_exists() guards, and only the newest copy on the site boots. WooCommerce and other plugins that bundle it share the same mechanism.
Where is the JavaScript source?
The editor sidebar and the admin app ship un-minified in assets/src/; the files in assets/build/ are produced from them with npm install && npm run build (the package.json is included). The bundled Action Scheduler library in lib/ is unmodified upstream code under its own GPL licence. Nothing else is compiled or obfuscated.
Who can use it?
Anyone who can edit a post sees suggestions for that post. The report, bulk and audit screens need the edit_others_posts capability (filterable with anchormender_capability); settings need manage_options.
