Visitors don’t always notice when a link is about to take them away from your site. That becomes more obvious when you use descriptive anchor text, cloaked affiliate URLs, or /go/ redirects that still look internal. I built WebberZone Link Warnings to solve that problem in WordPress. The plugin can: - Add inline external-link indicators - Show confirmation modals - Route visitors through redirect screens - Exclude trusted domains - Force specific internal-looking links to behave as external One thing I wanted to get right was coverage across the entire rendered page, not just post content. So the plugin uses a two-layer approach: 1. PHP processing with WP_HTML_Tag_Processor 2. A browser-side pass for menus, widgets, footers, and other theme output I’ve also published a detailed walkthrough covering installation, architecture, configuration, troubleshooting, and customization.

WebberZone Link Warnings v1.4.0 is out. This release fixes a consistency gap that's been there since v1.3.0. The excluded domains list was only respected by PHP content processing. The sitewide JavaScript scan ignored it, so links to excluded domains in navigation menus, footers, and widgets would still get flagged as external. That's now fixed. Excluded domains are passed to the frontend and the JS scan uses them on page load. Two other changes in this release: - Wildcard domain exclusions. Add *.example.com to match any subdomain. Plain entries like example.com still match the exact domain only. Add both if you want full coverage. - All four CSS class settings now accept comma-separated values. Useful if you're mapping to existing class names in your theme or page builder markup. Release post with upgrade notes: https://lnkd.in/dTepsaZt #WordPress #Accessibility #plugins

The core Code block bundled with the block editor aka Gutenberg renders a very bland output. I’ve released Code Block Highlighting v1.0.0 to fix that. It adds clean syntax highlighting to the core Code block. No custom blocks. No friction. Built for developers and technical writers who want readable code without extra overhead. What you get: • Works with existing content • Uses the default WordPress editor • Lightweight and fast If you publish tutorials or documentation, this will improve readability instantly.

WebberZone Link Warnings v1.3.0 is now available. Earlier versions relied on server-side processing. That worked for post content but missed links in navigation menus, widgets, and theme output. This release introduces a two-layer approach: • PHP handles post content • JavaScript processes everything else after page load Result: consistent, sitewide link handling without modifying stored content. Also included: • CSS class rules now apply across the entire page • Fix for no-icon wrapper behaviour to ensure warnings still trigger No migration required. Clear cache if needed.

I've just shipped Link Warnings v1.2.0 for WordPress. The main addition is force-external class support. Automatic detection works well for straightforward external links, but it misses cases like affiliate redirects or partner subdomains that look internal. Adding wzlw-force-external to a link (or wzlw-force-external-wrapper to its container) forces the plugin to treat it as external. Both class names are configurable under Settings > Advanced. The no-icon exclusion class names (wzlw-no-icon and wzlw-no-icon-wrapper) are also configurable now — useful if they were conflicting with existing class names in your theme or codebase. This release also patches an open-redirect vulnerability in the redirect endpoint using HMAC signatures, and fixes four redirect URL bugs that were quietly causing malformed URLs.

I just shipped Auto-Close v3.1.0 for WordPress. https://lnkd.in/dF4yGcun The biggest addition is taxonomy-based exclusions. Instead of manually entering post IDs to keep comments open, you can now exclude entire categories, tags, or custom taxonomy terms. Comments and pingbacks/trackbacks have separate exclusion lists, so you get granular control without writing code. Two other features I've wanted to add for a while: comments now automatically reopen when you update a published post (configurable window, default 30 days), and you can opt in to an email summary after each scheduled cron run showing what was closed and deleted. All new features are opt-in. Existing settings work without changes.
