Auto Update Page Links
Auto Update Page Links
Description
When you change a page URL in WordPress, all internal links pointing to that page can break — this plugin fixes that automatically.
Auto Update Page Links scans your site’s content, navigation menus, and block templates for outdated URLs and updates them whenever a page slug or permalink changes. It also logs these updates safely in the uploads directory.
🔧 Features
- Automatically replaces old URLs in:
- Page content
- Navigation menus
- Block templates
- Template parts
- Skips the page being edited to avoid recursion
- Logs all updates in /uploads/auto-update-page-links/
- Safe and lightweight — no database overhead
- Works seamlessly with the Block Editor (Gutenberg)
🛡️ Why use this plugin?
When you change a page’s slug or URL, your internal links can easily break, which hurts SEO and user experience. This plugin ensures everything stays consistent — automatically.

Faq

Logs are stored safely at:
/wp-content/uploads/auto-update-page-links/auto-update-links.log
Yes, you can comment out the $this->auplinks_log() calls in the class file if you prefer no logs.
