affiliate addd * star before text?

Hi there,

our plugin can currently only add links, but it cannot modify texts.
You can create a custom solution for the functions.php file, for example, something like this:

function add_star_to_specific_affiliate_links($content) {
    // Search for links with data-internallinksmanager and only modify their text
    $pattern = '/<a([^>]*data-internallinksmanager[^>]*)>(.*?)<\/a>/i';
    $replacement = '<a$1>*$2</a>';

    // Replace only the desired links
    $content = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement);

    return $content;
}

// Filter to modify the content of the posts
add_filter('the_content', 'add_star_to_specific_affiliate_links');

Explanation of the Code

Pattern:

• ([^>]*data-internallinksmanager[^>]*): Searches for <a> tags that contain data-internallinksmanager. The hash is covered by [^>]* (any characters until the tag end).
• (.*?): Searches for the text within the <a> tag.

Replacement:

• The asterisk * is added only before the link text ($2).

Filter:

• The code targets the content of the posts and modifies only the desired links.

Please consider: This is a untested example. Test the code in a development environment first before using it in a live environment.

thank you for your reply and the code. unfortunatelly it does not work. it says “fatal error.”

this ocde did what i want:

function add_custom_css() {
?>

<?php
}
add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘add_custom_css’);
