Automatic Links admin page

Feature page · How automatic links work · Debug with admin bar

Admin path: SEO Booster → Automatic Links (admin.php?page=sb2_autolink)

This page is the rule list for the automatic linking engine. Rules map a keyword to a target URL. The engine injects links into rendered page output when global and per-post gates allow it.

Table columns

Column	Meaning
Keyword	Phrase to match in page body content
Target URL	Internal or external destination
Last Used On	Recent front-end URLs where this keyword was matched and linked (REST and wp-json paths are hidden in display)

Sort by keyword or target URL. Use the search box to filter rows.

Add a rule

Use Add new link at the top:

1. Enter the keyword (case sensitivity follows Settings → Automatic Links → Match capitalization).
2. Enter the target URL.
3. Save the row.

New rules take effect on the next front-end view of pages where autolink is enabled.

Inline edit

Double-click a keyword or URL cell to edit inline. Press Enter or click the checkmark to save; click x to cancel.

Delete rules

Select row checkboxes, choose Delete from Bulk actions, and click Apply. Deleting a rule stops future linking; it does not modify stored post content because links are injected at render time.

Global and per-post gates

Automatic linking requires all of the following:

Gate	Setting
Global	Settings → Automatic Links → Enable automatic linking
Per post/page	SEO Booster metabox → Page settings → Automatic Linking (_sbp-autolink, default on)
View type	Singular post or page only, not archives, search, feeds, REST, or previews

Pro adds an Autolink column and bulk enable/disable on post lists, plus Create links from the Keywords tab.

Troubleshooting

• Use Highlight Automatic Links on the live page to see matches.
• If Last Used On stays empty, the keyword may not appear in eligible content or per-post autolink may be off.
• See Why aren’t my keywords being linked for excluded HTML elements.
