The Affiliate plugin adds a new menu where you can manage the related keywords and settings:
- Affiliate will provide an overview of active keywords.
- Keywords allows you to manage the keywords and the automated replacements.
- Settings provides switches that allow to turn keyword substitution on or off by post type.
Keywords can be replaced with links automatically anywhere they appear in the content of the site.
How to create a new Keyword
Go to Affiliate > Keywords > Add New Keyword.
Enter the keyword that should be replaced with a link and the URL of the corresponding link:
The Options allow you to set certain parameters for this keyword:
- Enabled : This switch allows to enable or disable automatic replacement for this particular keyword.
- Match Case : If this is checked, then case-sensitive replacement will be used for this keyword.
- Word Boundaries : When checked only complete matches are replaced.
- nofollow : Use this to indicate nofollow for the corresponding replacement link.
Keywords that are enabled will be susbtituted automatically.
The text shown above contains instances of the keyword “example”. With the “example” keyword enabled, the word is replaced with the appropriate link when the page is shown on the front end.
Managing Keywords
The keyword management is similar to how you would handle posts and pages as this is based on the same user interface that you are used to within WordPress.
The usual functions to add, edit and delete entries are available.
