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:
- Enter the keyword (case sensitivity follows Settings → Automatic Links → Match capitalization).
- Enter the target URL.
- 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 | Edit screen Automatic Linking checkbox (_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 GSC keywords metabox.
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.
