Product Description
WPML Sticky Links is an addon that manages internal links on multilingual WordPress sites to prevent them from breaking when content is reorganized. When page URLs change due to slug edits, parent page changes, or permalink structure updates, this addon automatically updates all internal links pointing to the affected pages.
Link Management
On a multilingual site, internal links can break easily. When a page slug changes in one language, links pointing to that page from other content need updating. WPML Sticky Links handles this automatically by converting links to use internal page references instead of hardcoded URLs, making them resistant to URL changes.
How It Works
- URL conversion: Converts hardcoded internal URLs to dynamic references that update automatically
- Broken link prevention: Detects and fixes links that would break due to permalink or slug changes
- Cross-language linking: Maintains correct link targets across all language versions of your content
Maintenance Benefits
Without automated link management, site administrators would need to manually find and update every internal link whenever a page URL changes. On sites with hundreds of pages in multiple languages, this manual process is impractical and error-prone.
Our Verdict
PluginTheme Team
Expert Reviewer
WPML Sticky Links solves a common pain point for multilingual sites. During testing, internal links remained functional after changing page slugs and reorganizing page hierarchies. The initial conversion process on existing content worked well, though it took some time on sites with extensive content. Once set up, link management was hands-off.
A valuable maintenance tool for multilingual sites, especially those that frequently update or reorganize their content structure.
