=== Cross-references === Contributors: hervada Tags: cross-references,backlinks,links,posts,related Requires at least: 2.5 Tested up to: 2.6 Stable tag: 1.2 Insert cross-references between posts or pages and get all back references automatically. == Description == With this plugin you can easily set a reference to another post or page in posts und pages and you get all back references automatically listed for every post and page. * Forward links. When writing your posts, you can refer to other posts or pages by their slug, like so: [cref hello-world]. This is shown at the blog as the title of post hello-world with a link to it. (You can also use post numerical ID instead of post slugs.) * Back links. You get automatically a list of all the posts and pages that link to the current post or page at the end of each entry. (For a greater control over this list you can optionally customize your templates). == Installation == 1. Download the crossreferences.zip file and entpack it. 1. Upload the 'cross-references-plugin' directory as '/wp-content/plugins/cross-references-plugin'. 1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 1. Optionally, go to the dashboard / Options / Cross-references page in order to adjust some settings. == Frequently Asked Questions == = Are references automatically updated whenever the refered/referer post title changes? = Yes, since the title of the post is read dynamically when it is shown. = What happens if I delete a post to which there are references? = All links will be removed from the referer posts, but their text (possibly the title of the removed post) will remain unchanged. = What happens if I set a references to a draft/pending/private post? = No links will be shown on the referer posts (just possibly the title of the hidden post) until it is made public. The hidden post will also not appear at the back links list from other posts. The same happens if you set a reference to a published post and then you hide it. = What happens if I change a post slug which is being referred to? = If you reference posts by slug all references will be automatically updated when you change a post slug. = What happens if I change a page slug which is being referred to? = Sorry, but your references will be broken an you will have to change them manually. This is because of the way WordPress treats page slugs. If you reference posts by slug all references will be automatically updated when you change a post slug. = Can I use qTranslate code in the related posts list? = Yes. On the plugin settings page just write for example:

[lang_es]Entradas Relacionadas: [/lang_es][lang_en]Related Posts: [/lang_en]
