    We are sorry to hear that you’re having trouble. Can you please confirm how did you add the links on the relevant page? Did you add the links directly from the default content editor or you’re using a 3rd party page builder plugin?

    I add the link directly using control + K

    There are a few cases where a link might not be recognized:
    ?

      Only links from inside the WordPress post editor are recognized. This means that links from navigational bars, menus, sidebars or footers are not recognized.
      ?Links need to be in absolute form. This means that links need to include the full domain. For example, https://www.example.com/page-a is an absolute link, while /page-a/ is a relative link.
      ?The internal linking tool will only recognize links on the page that are input in the standard fashion of including a text based link from within the WordPress editor, and not from links that were created using modules of other plugins in WordPress, such as many page builders for examples.

    ?However, Google and other search engines will still be able to see the links, so if the internal link isn’t being recognized by the analysis, it will still be seen and crawled by search engines.

    Okay. I am not technically very sound. I am gonna give you examples of the kind of links that I post directly on wordpress -Is this an absolute link? –

    Most of my outbound like are like this – https://www.aljalilafoundation.ae/ does this fit in an absolute link format?

    The example URLs you have shared with us both are absolute links and Yoast SEO should be able to detect them from the WordPress content editor.

    If Yoast SEO isn’t detecting them and showing you the warning in the content analysis, we think the issue is specific to your site. We’d need to investigate further but are unable to do so on these forums. You can purchase Yoast SEO Premium and receive our Premium email support and we can help you further.

    Yeah. It seems like my Yoast SEO isn’t detecting them. I am glad to know that I am not making any mistakes from my side.

    I am not sure if I want to purchase premium account right now, but thanks for your help ??

    Thank you for letting us know. This thread is now marked as resolved.
