Block Editor External Links Pro adds custom post type support, a network-wide multisite dashboard, bulk tools, link analytics, and domain rules on top of the free version’s autocomplete – built for agencies and site owners managing external links across large or multisite WordPress installs.
Key Features
Everything in the free version, plus:
- Custom post type support – choose which post types get scanned in Settings, not just Posts and Pages
- Network-wide multisite dashboard – a per-site breakdown of stored links, plus “Run Extraction on All Sites”
- Bulk Tools – detect and merge near-duplicate links, bulk delete, and CSV import & export
- Domain Rules – pin a domain to always sort first, or blacklist one so it’s never stored or suggested
- Link Analytics – a KPI row, top-domains chart, and a 12-week growth trend
- Recent Links View – browse up to 200 stored links with bulk delete, instead of the free version’s last-20 read-only list
- Uncapped batch size and cleanup window for very large sites
- Priority email support and first-release access to new features
How It Works
- Purchase and install Block Editor External Links Pro, then activate your license
- Choose which post types to scan under Settings
- Set up Domain Rules to pin or blacklist specific domains
- Use Bulk Tools to dedupe/merge links and import or export your list as CSV
- Check the Analytics tab for your top domains and growth trend
- On a multisite network, review the Network Dashboard for a per-site breakdown
Who It’s For
- Agencies managing external links across many client sites or a multisite network
- Large publishers with custom post types – portfolios, reviews, listings – that need scanning
- Site owners who want ongoing link hygiene – dedupe, cleanup, domain rules – instead of manual review
Free vs. Pro
Block Editor External Links Free covers autocomplete in the Block Editor and Classic Editor, automatic daily extraction from Posts and Pages, and a read-only recent links view. Pro adds custom post type support, bulk tools, domain rules, link analytics, a multisite dashboard, and priority support.
Installation
- Upload the plugin ZIP via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, then activate it
- Go to Block Editor External Links > License and activate your license key
- Choose your post types and configure the batch size and cleanup window under Settings
Frequently Asked Questions
Will scanning additional post types slow down my site?
No – extraction still runs once daily in the background via WP-Cron, regardless of how many post types you scan.
Do I need any coding knowledge to use Domain Rules or Bulk Tools?
No – both are plain WordPress admin screens. Pin or blacklist a domain from a simple form in Domain Rules, and merge or export links with a few clicks in Bulk Tools.
Can I use one license on multiple sites?
Yes – choose the Business or Developer license tier to cover 5 sites or unlimited sites under a single subscription.
