## Description

**BeeClear Smart Link Manager** automatically injects internal links into your content
at render time, based on keyword rules you define. Links are never saved into post
content — they are applied dynamically through the `the_content` filter, so your
database stays clean and all changes are instantly reversible.

#### How it works

 1. Define a linking rule: choose a phrase, target URL, and optional attributes (rel,
    title, aria-label, class).
 2. Build the index — either manually with one click or automatically on each post 
    save.
 3. The plugin injects matching links on the fly whenever a post is rendered.

No content is permanently modified. Deactivating the plugin removes all links instantly.

#### Free version features

 * **Rule-based internal linking** — phrase and token syntax with optional case-
   sensitivity matching.
 * **Full attribute control** — set `rel`, `title`, `aria-label`, and `class` on
   each link for SEO and accessibility.
 * **Per-page link limits** — cap how many times a phrase can be linked on a single
   page.
 * **One-click index rebuild** — manual rebuild with a live summary, or automatic
   rebuild triggered by post updates.
 * **Import / export** — move rule sets between sites or environments in seconds.
 * **Clean admin UI** — sortable rule tables, inline editing, and a metabox for 
   per-post overrides.
 * **Gutenberg and Classic Editor compatible** — works with any content editor.
 * **Zero HTTP requests** — scanning and index building use internal WordPress APIs(
   WP_Query + options), not loopback HTTP calls.

#### Premium version features

 * Semantic keyword enhancement
 * Custom external linking rules
 * Extended rule logic and priorities
 * Page-level priority settings
 * Activity log with operation history

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * Global settings panel — central configuration screen with default link attributes(
   rel, title, aria-label), CSS class, link template, cross-inline formatting tags
   and placement & targeting options. The right sidebar provides quick actions for
   rebuilding the index, a Last scan summary and maintenance tools.
 * [[
 * Per-post metabox in the editor — define phrases and rules directly on a single
   post, with case-sensitive toggles, search scope settings (HTML elements allowed
   to link in the target) and per-target linking rules, including the option to 
   disable auto-linking for outgoing links.
 * [[
 * Linking overview — targets & sources report listing every target with its number
   of defined phrases, number of inbound links, the defined phrases themselves and
   quick access to the list of source posts.
 * [[
 * Target details popup — a quick view opened from the overview showing all phrases
   linking to a specific target together with the source posts where those links
   are injected.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin modify post content in the database?

No. Links are injected dynamically at render time via the `the_content` filter. 
Your database is never altered — deactivating the plugin removes all links immediately.

### Does it work with the latest WordPress?

Yes. The plugin is tested up to WordPress 6.9.

### Can I limit the number of links per page?

Yes. Each rule supports a per-page link cap so the same phrase is not linked more
than a set number of times on one page.

### How do I apply rule changes to existing posts?

Go to the plugin settings and click **Rebuild Index**. You can also enable automatic
rebuilding, which triggers on every post save.

### Why are some phrases not being linked?

The most common causes: the phrase does not match due to case-sensitivity settings,
the per-page link limit has been reached, or the post type is excluded in the plugin
settings.

### Can I exclude individual posts or post types from auto-linking?

Yes. Use the plugin settings to exclude specific post types globally, or use the
per-post metabox to disable linking for individual posts.

### How do I migrate rules to another site?

Use the **Export** button to download your rules as a file, then use **Import** 
on the target site. No manual re-entry needed.

### Is it compatible with page builders (Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder)?

The plugin hooks into `the_content` filter, which most page builders respect. Compatibility
may vary for builders that bypass standard WordPress rendering.
