MIL not working?

    Hi there,

    In the linked page, Interlinks Managers says that there are 0 manual internal links in this article, but there are 5.

    Unless I misunderstand what a manual internal link is. Isn’t an MIL an internal link that’s been added to anchor text in the body copy of the post?

    Thanks for any help.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello Mark,

    could you please provide the following information:

    • The value of the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) option available in the General Settings page.
    • Do you have posts where the MIL are detected? Can you please create a test post and add a link with the default block editor and verify if the MIL are detected.

    Thank you.

    Hey,

    Appreciate the reply:

    3. Yes, it seems like there are plenty of posts where MIL’s are detected. Here’s an example of one of them:

    How do you mean by “default block editor”? Maybe the fact that we can confirm it does work for some posts means that I don’t need to create that test article.

    Yes. Exactly.

    MIL can be not be identified for the following reasons:

    • The MIL are added with shortcodes or other systems and are not actually available in the posts
    • The a element might not be detecteted by the the regex used to find them
    • The prefix specific specified in the General Settings page is not present in the post HTML (E.g. This happens with relative URLs, URLs with different protocols, etc.)

    I can’t find a specific cause of the problem by inspecting your site HTML. My recommandation is that you verify which differences there are in the identified MIL vs the non-indetified MIL by also considering which editors/plugin/themes are present in your WordPress environment.

    The links are added using the Thrive Architect CMS straight into the body copy, not using anything more than that. Any chance you can find a regex and add it to the plugin so it works with Thrive Architect?

    I’m having the same problem with Link Whisper and am speaking with their support. Hopefully one of you guys can figure it out ??

    Hello Mark,

    thank you for all the details. I can’t test the plugin with Thrive Architect because a free version is not available and we don’t have a subscription to it.

    More in general, links may not be available at all in the content, and the plugin may use placeholders instead.

    I created an internal ticket for this. It’s possible that changes on this aspect of the analysis will be applied in future version.

    Okay great, appreciate it. Maybe you could add my email into the ticket and let me know if you ever get to it.

    Thanks again. All the best.
