- Short Description
- WPML Sticky Links ensures stable links in WordPress, preventing 404 errors with automatic updates even if pages move or get renamed.
WPML Sticky Links prevents links between pages and posts from ever breaking, even if pages move and get renamed.
WordPress makes it all too easy to change page addresses, causing all incoming links to break (404 error). Here are a few actions that may result in a 404 error:
Changing the page’s parent
Changing the slug
Changing the site’s permalink structure
WPML prevents changes in URLs from breaking incoming links. When you create a link, WPML automatically makes it sticky. Instead of storing the URL of that page (at the time the link was created), it stores the page number. This can never change, no matter what you do.
Then, when the page is displayed, WPML inserts the permalink of the page you are linking to. Whenever the URL changes all pages linking to it update immediately and will link to the correct address.
