## Description
Linkable is a lightweight WordPress plugin that automates internal linking by converting
defined keywords into links to selected posts or pages.
**Core functionality:**
* Automatically links keywords to chosen posts or pages*
Works on singular posts and pages by filtering `the_content` at priority 20 * Searches
for keyword matches inside ``, `
`, ``, ``, and `` tags * Skips
self-links by excluding the current post from the keyword map * Uses the Yoast SEO
title for link tooltips when Yoast is active, otherwise falls back to the WordPress
title * Preserves existing `` tags and shortcodes by backing them up before processing
and restoring them afterward
**Keyword management:**
* Keywords are stored per post and per page as JSON in
the `linkable_tags` post meta field * `linkable_tags` is registered with REST support,
sanitized via `sanitize_text_field`, and restricted to users with `edit_posts`
**Settings:**
* Accessible via Settings Linkable * `max_links_per_target`: limits
how many times the same target can be linked from one post (default 1) * `first_occurrence_only`:
when enabled, each keyword is linked only once per post
**Performance:**
* Builds a global keyword map from all published posts and pages
with `linkable_tags` * Caches the keyword map with a transient (`global_linkable_tag_map`)
for one hour * Query optimized to fetch only IDs and avoid unnecessary meta/term
caching
**Editor compatibility:**
* Works with both the block editor and the classic editor*
Enqueues an admin sidebar panel script (`static/js/admin-sidebar-panel.js`) with
WordPress dependencies and versioning via `filemtime`
**Security:**
* URLs are properly escaped with `esc_url` * Link titles are sanitized
and HTML-escaped * Meta registration includes capability and sanitization checks

Not yet, but it’s on the roadmap.

I’ve tried different ways to manage internal links, but most solutions are either
too heavy or too complicated. Linkable just works. You add your keywords, point
them to the right page, and the plugin automatically takes care of the rest. Super
simple, lightweight, and a real time-saver if you want to keep your internal link
structure consistent. Great for SEO and content sites where manual linking quickly
becomes a pain.

I love it, when plugins doesn’t get bloated with things not related to the task
at hand. This just does the job, plain and simple.
