Make unbreakable internal links

  • Hello !
    Is there a way to make some “internals” links to posts/pages when writing new content ?
    I mean, If I put an absolute URL and that I move my blog, all of them will be broken.
    I’ve tryed the plugin “autolink” but it made errors on my blog.
    With this, you can do "<a href="70">" to link the #70 post… It’s very useful.

    Is there something like this in WordPress core ?

  • FWIW: I have always used the full url when linking directly. I recently moved my blog to a new domain name and found that running a search and replace on the database did the trick just fine.

    As outlined here:

    why not use relative links then?

    instead of linking to https://www.yourdomain.com/2007/10/13/my-post/ … paste in only: /2007/10/13/my-post/

    The downside with relative links, as I recall, is that they don’t work in the feed/RSS readers.

    However, I dimly recall a plugin that fixes relative links for the feed(s).

    a good reader should do that for you, but I certainly acknowledge that a lot don’t.

    There’s a ticket for this which has been bumped from 2.2 to 2.4 (which probably means it’ll be bumped to 2.6 lol)… but yeah, I’ve seen a couple of plugins that cater for broken readers too.

    It’s a tough call… you spend all this time working on your wordpress site, just so that people will ignore all the nice stuff and read your site via RSS ??

    Has anyone used the RB Internal Link plugin? Would this help to set the internal links?
    cheers
