    Hi there,

    My sites has many articles with links to external archives for family heritage. Because the amount of articles and archives keeps growing, I’d like to create a page with the collection of all these external links.

    I’ve Googled and searched for plugins, but can’t find what I want. Can you give me a tip how to create this?

    Thank you,

    Hi there,

    are you wanting WordPress to automatically gather up all external links on your site and display them on one page ?

    Yes, because I now have so many links spread out over my site.
    I’ve also checked my Google SC but I can’t find a list their either. Otherwise I would copy/paste manualy it on a regular basis.
    So I want to create 1 seperate page with ‘All links’.

    P.s. I’ve found this tip https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/138783/how-to-list-all-external-urls-that-i-have-posted-on-my-wordpress-blog?newreg=88bc541e327143e6b40ea82c442a452e
    but as it’s from 8 years ago, I’m having doubts if that still works.

    That code in the Accepted reply should still work, the fundamentals are the same.
    But that code would come with a pretty high overhead, as its having to query every post on your site, and scrape the content for links with a specific domain.

    Maybe it would be best to just analyze the sites links and look for external links and then manually create the list?
    There are a few sites that do this eg.

    I’ve investigated that tool, but in the free version it’s not giving me a full list of all external links.
    Actually, I don’t need a separate plugin, a copy-paste list (in Google SC?) would be good as well. But as far as I can see, they don’t provide such thing.
    Well, I just let it go. Searching for this question shows me that more users would like to do this, but I haven’t found a clear answer yet.

    Thanks for you advise, David!

    Reading this support topic, and although the OP had issues, it sounds like this plugin may be able to find all links
