<h3>Documentation</h3>
<p>After activating you can set all options for external and internal links.</p>
<h4>Data attribute &#8220;data-wpel-link&#8221;</h4>
<p>Links being processed by this plugin will also contain the data-attribute <code>data-wpel-link</code>.<br />
The plugin could set the value to <code>external</code>, <code>internal</code> or <code>exclude</code>, meaning how the<br />
link was processed.</p>
<p>You can also set the data-attribute yourself. This way you can force how the plugin will process<br />
certain links.</p>
<p>When you add the value <code>ignore</code>, the link will be completely ignored by the plugin:</p>
<pre><code>&lt;a href="http://somedomain.com" data-wpel-link="ignore"&gt;Go to somedomain&lt;/a&gt;
</code></pre>
<h4>Action &#8220;wpel_link&#8221;</h4>
<p>Use this action to change the link object after all plugin settings have been applied.</p>
<pre><code>add_action( 'wpel_link', ( $link_object ) {
    if ( $link_object-&gt;is_external() ) {
        // get current url
        $url = $link_object-&gt;getAttribute( 'href' );

        // set redirect url
        $redirect_url = '//somedom.com?url='. urlencode( $url );
        $link_object-&gt;setAttribute( 'href', $redirect_url );
    }
}, 10, 1 );
</code></pre>
<p>The link object is an instance of <code>WPEL_Link</code> class.</p>
<h4>Action hook &#8220;wpel_before_apply_link&#8221;</h4>
<p>Use this action to change the link object before the plugin settings will be applied on the link.<br />
You can use this filter f.e. to ignore individual links from being processed. Or change dynamically how<br />
they will be treated by this plugin.</p>
<pre><code>add_action( 'wpel_before_apply_link', function ( $link ) {
    // ignore links with class "some-cls"
    if ( $link-&gt;has_attr_value( 'class', 'some-cls' ) ) {
        $link-&gt;set_ignore();
    }

    // mark and treat links with class "ext-cls" as external link
    if ( $link-&gt;has_attr_value( 'class', 'ext-cls' ) ) {
        $link-&gt;set_external();
    }
}, 10 );
</code></pre>
<h4>Filter hook &#8220;wpel_apply_settings&#8221;</h4>
<p>When filter returns false the plugin settings will not be applied. Can be used when f.e. certain posts or pages should be ignored by this plugin.</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'wpel_apply_settings', '__return_false' );
</code></pre>
