• This plugin makes autolinks from the title of your post and your link database, just type the post title or link name, that’s all.
    The only thing you have to remember is that the plugin reckons only strings that match both in capital and small letters the titles of the posts. An example :
    If I write a post about the film “The Wood”, a later post will only link with this one if I write exactly the same, preventing strings like “I was looking for mushrooms in the wood” from being linked.
    The plugin makes links in old posts. You only need to write the director’s name about the film so that when writing a new post, which has the director’s name as title, old posts containing the director’s name will automatically point to the new one.
    A post never links with itself, although the title string is repeated in the body.
    The same with links, if I have barrapunto.com among my links, having Barrapunto as the name of the link, I only have to write “Barrapunto” to obtain an automatic link. In the same way, I can add a link later and all posts containing the same string will be automatically linked.
    Supposing there are both a link and a post with the same title, the link to the post prevails, and the post would be linked with the link saved in the database.
    I mean, if I have a link to Barrapunto.com named “Barrapunto” and I write a post titled “Barrapunto”, future appearances of the string “Barrapunto” will go to the post. If in the same post appears the string “Barrapunto”, it links with the link saved in the database.
    You can download the plugin here, see readme.txt for more detailed info.

  • The link part sounds cool, but I imagine I would probably get messed up by the title thing.

    It’s not a problem, you can deactivate the autolinking of the titles easily.
    You can change two variables in the source code of wp_automatic_reference_plugin.php:
    $autolinks <- if set to 1 makes autolinks from wordpress links database.
    $autoposts <- if set to 1 makes autolinks from post titles.
    Initially, the two options are activated.
