详情介绍:
External Links to Footnotes converts external links in article content into compact numbered references such as
[1]. It keeps the original linked words in the article, then displays each external destination in a Footnotes list at the end of the content or at a shortcode location.
The plugin is published by Enok SEO and runs entirely on your WordPress site.
Key features:
- Keeps same-site, relative, and configured always-inline domains unchanged.
- Converts external text links into accessible numbered references.
- Preserves the original anchor text in the article body.
- Deduplicates repeated external URLs by default.
- Removes common tracking parameters from displayed Footnotes URLs by default.
- Supports automatic placement and
[enok_extref_resources]placement. - Supports posts, pages, and selected public post types.
- Supports URL, APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago/Turabian, and IEEE-style display templates.
- Includes accessible marker labels, back links, selected-Footnote highlighting, focus styles, and stable IDs.
- Includes optional citation JSON-LD, disabled by default.
- Includes background indexing and local statistics with no external data transmission.
- Includes layout-level compatibility for popular page builders.
- Internal or relative URLs.
- On a domain listed under Internal / Always Inline Domains, including its subdomains.
- Amazon product or affiliate links when that option is enabled.
- Inside code, preformatted text, scripts, styles, known embeds, or plugin-owned Footnotes markup.
- Wrapped around an image.
- Marked with the configured exclude class.
mailto:,tel:,javascript:, or fragment-only links.
安装:
- Upload the plugin ZIP through Plugins > Add Plugin > Upload Plugin, or install it from the WordPress Plugin Directory.
- Activate External Links to Footnotes.
- Open Footnotes > Overview and confirm that Footnotes are enabled.
- Open Footnotes > Options to adjust domains, post types, placement, typography, and link attributes.
- Allow the initial site scan to finish in the background so Overview and Stats counts become current.

常见问题:
Does this change links in the editor or database?
No. Links are classified and transformed only when WordPress renders eligible frontend content.
Can I keep affiliate or partner links inline?
Yes. Add the root domain under Internal / Always Inline Domains, enable the Amazon option, or add the configured exclude class to an individual link.
Are subdomains included when I add an always-inline domain?
Yes. Adding example.com also keeps links to www.example.com, shop.example.com, and other subdomains inline.
What happens to linked images and embedded social posts?
They remain unchanged. Image links and links inside recognized embed wrappers are not converted to Footnotes.
Can I limit processing to posts only?
Yes. Choose the eligible post types under Footnotes > Options. Posts are selected by default.
What happens if WordPress cron is disabled?
Frontend Footnotes still work. Background statistics require WordPress cron or a server cron that calls wp-cron.php; the Stats screen shows a warning when cron is disabled.
Where can I get support?

- Preserved non-tracking query parameters exactly when cleaning Footnotes URLs.
