The linkify-text plugin is invalid for Chinese keywords.

China is the most populous country in the world. It is recommended that the plugin support Chinese keywords. I believe that more users will use your plugin.

I have more than hundreds of links, that slow down my entire website, I had to disable the plugin because it was no longer doable.

Awesomely useful plugin, thank you!
In my posts I have a number of DOIs (“Document Object Identifiers”), e.g. 10.1021/jacs.0c03626 or 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.0c00075
From what I understood, such DOIs can all be found by this RegEx : /^10.\d{4,9}/[-._;()/:A-Z0-9]+$/i
Such DOIs can ben decoded into a URL by simply appending https://dx.doi.org/ before the actual DOI. In other words I would like to be able to automatically detect them to perform the following transformations:
10.1021/jacs.0c03626 –> 10.1021/jacs.0c03626
10.1021/acs.jmedchem.0c00075 –> 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.0c00075

Is your plugin able to do that and if yes, how? OTherwise, do you think I could modify it to achieve such a result ?

Thanks a ton for considering my question,
David

Awesomely useful plugin, thank you!
It doesn’t work with the cooked plugin though.
The same issue was resolved with this plugin by changing the plugin load order.
If that works for cooked, is it possible to make Linkify load last so it works with all plugins installed?

hello…
the plugin doesnt work at all…

thank you

Thanks for you great plugin.
I’ve a problem (Might be the only one who faced it), I hope if you can help me to find its roots.

Once I enable (Limit linkifications to once per term per post? ) the text doesn’t display correctly. (I’ll attach 2 photos below).

Old plugin version worked fine, but I face this problem for more than 6 months now (I can get the version working for me).

Can you help me with this? I this it’s a database problem? is it?

missing text photo: https://i.ibb.co/FnptwsS/error1.png
correct text photo after disabling the feature: https://i.ibb.co/LCfqn8L/error-no-error.png

I added this text in our Linkify Text Plugin
monica cirinnà => https://www.gay.it/tag/monica-cirinna
and we get some mess in regex replace.
That’s the result in HTML:
<strong>M<a href="https://www.gay.it/tag/monica-cirinna">Monica Cirinnà</a>/strong>

At the moment I just removed it but is it a solvable issue?

Thanks.

Hi Scott. I’ve been using this plugin for around 6 months without any issues at all. It was the first one I installed and it’s a big part of my workflow when I’m blogging.

Yesterday, around 5pm GMT, I hit a problem. All of a sudden, in the middle of writing a blog, my website wouldn’t save – it kept saying ‘saving’… but that’s how it stayed.

Initially, I didn’t think it was Linkify that was causing the issue, but around 30 minutes later, I got an auto-generated email from WP (shown below)

Error Details
=============
An error of type E_ERROR was caused in line 288 of the file /homepages/0/d770584787/htdocs/app770584978/wp-content/plugins/linkify-text/linkify-text.php. Error message: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded

I disabled Linkify and everything then worked fine.

This is the first time I’ve had an issue with Linkify. I’m not very techy in this area and wondered whether the above error gives you any clues as to what’s gone wrong?

All the best.

Steve

the plugin isn’t compatible with the new version of wordpress: version 5.0.3. When I updated to a newer version of wordpress all my pages and posts are blank. I set one by one plugins to inactivated and the problem was this plugin. Why is that?

If I check Each term will only be linkified the first time, the linked word will be broken (you can see at the picture). ??

Hi Guys.

After many years, I’m ‘jumping ship’ from Blogger to WordPress. Currently I use an offline blogging tool called Open Live Writer (formerly ‘Windows Live Writer’). It has a useful feature that’s not (AFAIK) replicated in WordPress where when I enter a text string it converts that text to a link of my choice. It looks like Linkify is what I’m looking for! ??

Over the years my ‘database’ for Open Live Writer of my auto link options has grown – and the file is in xml format.

My question is: can that XML file be imported directly into Linkify to save me having to add the links manually?

Thanks for your help

Steve

Hi ,

Thanks for the plugin solved a major part of my problem. But for the ease of uploading the keywords I want to add a functionality to upload the .txt or .Docs or . xlxs file to import the keywords to the text area instead of directly copy pasting the keywords . Can you please help me with the modification to be done to achieve this .

Please refer Linkify text. Details

Thanka

Hi,

Is there a way to unlink all headings from H1 to H6 and so forth.

Thanks

Chris

P.S. You also stated in another case:

Provide a mechanism to disable ALL linkifications for a given post or page. (Basically an on/off switch for linkification, with the default being “on”.)
Provide a mechanism to selectively disable certain terms from get linkified for a given post or page. (Basically everything gets linkified unless a term is explicitly included in a list of exclusions.)

Are these features available?

Hi..
So. i have about 1100 “linkifyes” and count of it grows every week
But now it couse slowing of site. More links couses more stuck of site loading.

Is there some limitations of links for nonstuckable working of site or its some error?

Hello!

https://github.com/coffe2code/linkify-text/ – dont work(((

send current repository url. I have several PR.

Greetings, I love your plugin, and it has worked faithfully for some time. recently I noticed I had pages that were failing to load. The menu bar would come up, and the page heading would load, but nothing else, not even the admin bar. I turned on debug mode in wp-config, and on some (but only some) of the pages, I get the following message:

“Fatal Error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in” …. [domain and directory] …. “wp-content/plugins/linkify-text/linkify-text.php on line 288”

Line 288 is part of this function:
// Check if the text contains the phrase to link.

Specifically:
$has_text = mb_ereg_match( ‘.*’ . $regex, $text, $preg_flags );

I don’t know enough about code to be able to tell if I am having a conflict between plugins or themes or if I have done something wrong here. I have not modified the plugin, and I am not on a child theme.

The plugin has been deactivated for now, so that the page, which I was in the process of actually creating, can continue to work for me while I play around with it.

“Linkify Text” works fine, but to my surprise there seems to be no way to get alternate links for the same key(s) – only vice versa: alternate keys for the same URL.

Is there a simple way to get this done?

Hi.
I had a problem with replace_once spacing. the link was stealing 2 extra word if i check replace once option. I looked i solved with some changes in code:

linkify-text/linkify-text.php:364
It was like this:

. mb_substr( $text, $pos[0] + $pos[1]-1 );

And this was stealing 2 word from my next word after the link.
I changed it like this:

. mb_substr( $text, $pos[0] + $pos[1]-3 );

I works well now. I hope you change that soon!

Updated to v1.9.1 now short code post titles not linked? Any fix?

The latest update causes this error on the server (logged by apache2 as PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error)

Call to undefined function mb_ereg_replace() in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/linkify-text/linkify-text.php

and stops post body loading (plus any content afterwards). Was working fine up until this update.

Error with linking in <h2>
Please check! Thanks

Hello,

I wonder if it’s possible / how to setup links to open in new tabs?

Thank you and kind regards,
Sascha

The plugin doesn’t work in tables. When a word is in a table then the plugin doesn’t link the word, why is that? Is there an extra code for this problem?

Is there a way to tell the plugin that a particular text should be skipped while the linking procedure is running?

For example: there is a film Name “Summer” which is linked to the appropriate film page.
But Summer may also occur in sentences like :
“… will be available this summer” – linking “summer” to the film page is here not wanted.

Had to modify the regex as it was replacing text inside some javascript tags i had in the body content, so used:

$regex = “<script\b[^>]*>([\s\S]*?)<\/script>(*SKIP)(*F)|(?![<\[].*)\b({$old_text})\b(?![^<>\[\]]*?[\]>])”;

maybe could be added as an admin option, ignore replacements inside script tags?

how can automatic add target=”_blank” ?

Helo!

When there are multiple links within links the regex not works as expected. E.g.

<a href="https://worpress.org">This is a sample, this is a sample text<a>

So, replace the sample…

<a href="https://worpress.org">This is a <a href="https://sample.org">sample</a>, this is a <a href="https://sample.org">sample</a> text<a>

The result will be…

<a href="https://worpress.org">This is a<a> <a href="https://sample.org">sample</a>, this is a sample text

Thank you

Question: I’m using Linkify to turn certain keywords to affiliate links. I’d like to add the No Follow attribute to all these links. How can I easily do so?

Thanks so much!
