External Links - nofollow, noopener & new window

Just use the option "Skip pages or posts" under the tab "Exceptions". For a more custom approach use the action wpel_apply_settings: `add_action( 'wpel_apply_settings', function () { global $post; $ignored_post_ids = array( 1, 2, 4 ); if ( in_array( $post->ID, $ignored_post_ids ) ) { return false; } return true; }, 10 );` Using this filter you can ignore any request, like certain category, archive etcetera.

There's an option for ignoring links containing a certain class (under tab "Exceptions"). For a more flexible check on ignoring links you could use the filter wpel_before_apply_link: add_action( 'wpel_before_apply_link', function ( $link ) { // ignore links with class "some-cls" if ( $link->has_attr_value( 'class', 'some-cls' ) ) { $link->set_ignore(); } }, 10 );

Create redirect by using the wpel_link action. Add some code to functions.php of your theme, like: `add_action( 'wpel_link', function ( $link ) { // check if link is an external links if ( $link->is_external() ) { // get current url $url = $link->get_attr( 'href' ); // set redirect url $redirect_url = '//somedom.com?url='. urlencode( $url ); $link->set_attr( 'href', $redirect_url ); } }, 10, 1 );`

By adding this JavaScript code to your site: `jQuery(function ($) { $('a[data-wpel-link="external"]').click(function (e) { // open link in popup window window.open($(this).attr('href'), '_blank', 'width=800, height=600'); // stop default and other behaviour e.preventDefault(); e.stopImmediatePropagation(); }); });` See more information on the window.open() method.

Add this JavaScript code to your site: jQuery(function ($) { $('a[data-wpel-link="external"]').click(function (e) { if (!confirm('Are you sure you want to open this link?')) { // cancelled e.preventDefault(); e.stopImmediatePropagation(); } }); });

Use some JavaScript code for opening PDF files in a new window: jQuery(function ($) { $('a[href$=".pdf"]').prop('target', '_blank'); });

Use some CSS style to change the icon for secure sites using https: a[href^="https"] .wpel-icon:before { content: "\f023" !important; } The code \f023 refers to a dashicon or font awesome icon.

If your plugin contains links it might be filtered by the WPEL plugin as well, causing a conflict. Here are some suggestions on solving the problem:

1. Add data-wpel-link="ignore" to links that need to be ignored by WPEL plugin
2. Use wpel_before_apply_link-action to ignore your links (f.e. containing certain class or data-attribute)
3. Use wpel_apply_settings-filter to ignore complete post, pages, categories etc
