Instead of manually editing every post to add links, you define keyword-to-URL rules once \u2014 and the plugin handles everything else automatically.<\/p>\n\n<p>Every time you publish or update a post, Kombat Links scans the content and inserts the correct internal links based on your active rules. Existing content can be updated in bulk with a single click.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Key Features<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Automatic link insertion<\/strong> \u2014 links are added on every post save, automatically<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bulk Re-link<\/strong> \u2014 apply all rules to existing posts and pages with a real-time progress bar<\/li>\n<li><strong>Usage tracking<\/strong> \u2014 see exactly how many posts contain each rule's link; click to see the full list<\/li>\n<li><strong>Post type targeting<\/strong> \u2014 apply rules to Posts, Pages, or both<\/li>\n<li><strong>WooCommerce support<\/strong> \u2014 link to WooCommerce products directly from the rule editor (when WooCommerce is active)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Smart Suggestions<\/strong> \u2014 the plugin suggests potential link targets based on your existing page titles<\/li>\n<li><strong>Non-destructive<\/strong> \u2014 links are never inserted inside headings (H1\u2013H6) or inside existing <code>&lt;a&gt;<\/code> tags<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remove all links<\/strong> \u2014 strip all Kombat Links links from your entire site in one click<\/li>\n<li><strong>Settings control<\/strong> \u2014 configure max links per post, first-occurrence-only mode, case sensitivity, and new-tab behaviour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>How It Works<\/h4>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Go to <strong>Smart Links<\/strong> in your WordPress admin menu<\/li>\n<li>Add a rule: type a keyword and select the destination post or page<\/li>\n<li>Click <strong>Re-link All Posts<\/strong> to apply rules to existing content<\/li>\n<li>From that point on, every new or updated post is linked automatically<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h4>SEO Benefits<\/h4>\n\n<p>Internal linking is one of the most effective and most neglected SEO techniques. Kombat Links helps you build a consistent internal link structure without spending hours manually editing posts.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Links are stored as standard HTML<\/h4>\n\n<p>Kombat Links inserts links directly into post content as plain <code>&lt;a&gt;<\/code> tags \u2014 no shortcodes, no overlays, no dynamic injections.
