Do I need to install a WordPress plugin to use WP Linker?

No plugin is required. WP Linker works entirely via the WordPress REST API using an application password. Setup takes about 30 seconds.

Is my WordPress data safe with WP Linker?

Yes. WP Linker only reads your published posts to analyze link structure. Content is never modified without your explicit approval. All data is encrypted in transit.

What does the free plan include?

The free plan includes full internal link analysis, orphan post detection, and link coverage scoring for up to 30 posts on 1 site, with 1 analysis per week. No credit card required — free forever.

How long does a WordPress link analysis take?

Most sites with fewer than 500 posts are fully analyzed in under 2 minutes. Larger sites may take a few minutes more.

Which WordPress versions does WP Linker support?

WP Linker supports WordPress 5.0 and above. Any site with the REST API enabled — which is the default — is compatible.

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Yes. No long-term contracts. Cancel at any time and retain access until the end of your billing period.

Set Up a WordPress Application Password

WP Linker connects to your WordPress site via the REST API using an application password. This is secure, revocable, and takes under 2 minutes to set up.

Security Note

Application passwords are separate from your main WordPress password. You can revoke them anytime without changing your login credentials. WP Linker only needs read access to analyze your site — write access is only used when you explicitly apply link suggestions.

Step-by-Step Setup

Log in to WordPress Admin

Go to your WordPress dashboard at yourdomain.com/wp-admin and log in with an administrator account.

Navigate to Users → Profile

In the left sidebar, click 'Users' then 'Profile' (or 'Your Profile'). Scroll down to the 'Application Passwords' section.

Create a New Application Password

Enter a name like 'WP Linker' in the 'New Application Password Name' field. Click 'Add New Application Password.' WordPress will generate a 24-character password.

Copy the Password

Copy the generated password immediately — it will only be shown once. You'll paste this into WP Linker when connecting your site.

Connect in WP Linker

Enter your site URL and paste the application password in WP Linker's site connection form. Click 'Test Connection' to verify everything works.

Requirements

WordPress 5.6 or later (application passwords are built-in)
Administrator or Editor role on the WordPress site
HTTPS enabled on your site (required for application passwords)
