Intersite links

    I searched in the forums and on Google, but couldn’t find anything. I’m wondering if WordPress has the capability to show a “What links here” thing like Wikipedia. I know Technorati does that and the WordPress Dashboard shows incoming links, but I hate Technorati and don’t want to use it. Plus, I want to show which posts link to which posts (intersite links), whether they include the domain or not (https://domain.com/link/ or /link/). So for a certain post, there would be a thing that said, “These posts link here: Post1, Post2, Post3”. Does anyone know if this is possible or if there’s a plugin that already does this?

    Another term used to describe this is “backlinks” and it’s very common with wikis.

    One solution would be to use pingbacks/trackbacks, which I sometimes use. But sometimes, a post links to more than one of my own posts, and WordPress doesn’t accept more than one pingback in a short amount of time, so only one ends up being sent. Plus, I like to use relative/absolute links (/link instead of https://domain.com/link), which don’t send pingbacks.

    If I knew MySQL, I might be tempted to write a plugin that searched in $wp_posts->post_content for each post’s permalink (for me, it’s /2006/03/07/post-name/) and display it somehow.

    Any ideas out there, people?

    Ok, I figured it out. I wrote a plugin that does this. It should really be called “Intrasite links” because the links are internal (post-to-post) and not to external sites.
