External Links – nofollow, noopener & new window

Just use the option “Skip pages or posts” under the tab “Exceptions”.

For a more custom approach use the action wpel_apply_settings:

add_action( ‘wpel_apply_settings’, function () {

global $post;

$ignored_post_ids = array( 1, 2, 4 );

if ( in_array( $post->ID, $ignored_post_ids ) ) { return false; }

return true; }, 10 );

Using this filter you can ignore any request, like certain category, archive etcetera.

There’s an option for ignoring links containing a certain class (under tab “Exceptions”).

For a more flexible check on ignoring links you could use the filter wpel_before_apply_link:

add_action( ‘wpel_before_apply_link’, function ( $link ) {

// ignore links with class “some-cls”

if ( $link->has_attr_value( ‘class’, ‘some-cls’ ) ) {

$link->set_ignore();

}

}, 10 );

Create redirect by using the wpel_link action. Add some code to functions.php of your theme, like:

add_action( 'wpel_link', function ( $link ) { // check if link is an external links if ( $link->is_external() ) { // get current url $url = $link->get_attr( 'href' );

// set redirect url $redirect_url = '//somedom.com?url='. urlencode( $url ); $link->set_attr( 'href', $redirect_url ); } }, 10, 1 );

By adding this JavaScript code to your site:

jQuery(function ($) { $('a[data-wpel-link="external"]').click(function (e) { // open link in popup window window.open($(this).attr('href'), '_blank', 'width=800, height=600');

// stop default and other behaviour e.preventDefault(); e.stopImmediatePropagation(); }); });

See more information on the window.open() method.

Add this JavaScript code to your site:

jQuery(function ($) { $('a[data-wpel-link="external"]').click(function (e) { if (!confirm('Are you sure you want to open this link?')) { // cancelled e.preventDefault(); e.stopImmediatePropagation(); } }); });

Use some JavaScript code for opening PDF files in a new window:

jQuery(function ($) { $('a[href$=".pdf"]').prop('target', '_blank'); });
