QUESTION: Is there a WP plugin which can do this..?

9 replies
Hey guys,

I actually have a lot of websites now to manage so things are getting a little complicated.

Is there a WP plugin which can give you the exact live URLs of ALL the posts out there on your blog currently?

If so, I can use that info to do mass link building runs to internal blog posts as well.

Please do let me know if you have any ideas.. Even a script would work.

      Wow! Excellent!

      OK I can try that, but apart from this approach there has never been a wp plugin which can do this automatically?

        This is about as 'automatic' as you can get (and a good example of a simple plugin that uses shortcodes, if you want to look at the coding).

        Install as with any WP plugin, i.e., upload to your wp-content/plugins folder (or use the built-in uploader on the WP dashboard plugins page) and activate. The description section on the plugins page gives usage directions.

        EDIT:
        I suppose I should say what the plugin does :-)

        Just spits out an unordered (<ul>) list of links to current post, newest at the top. Invoked by a shortcode within a blog post or page, or by using the php function call in a template.

    I'm just thinking out loud here, but couldn't you just install one of the many simple Google sitemap plugins and that sitemap page would then list all the urls from your blog and you could just copy them into an excel spreadsheet?

      You certainly could, it's just a matter of deleting all of the extra 'stuff' that is in an xml sitemap. Me, I go the 'easiest is best' route, which for me is to pound out a few lines of code. When that isn't possible, decomposing an xml sitemap is certainly another way to get it done.

    YasirYar,

    I am not sure what your monthly income is from these sites, consider scaling things up and outsourcing some of the tasks. It will take some time to set everything up, but once it is all up and running it will be worth while.

      Is it really that simple? Someone told me you have to format and take out the garbage from the sitemaps.. Sounds complicated

      Thanks for this. By code, do you mean you have created a WP plugin for it yourself?

      The monthly income is starting to pick up so I really need a way to automate this.. Otherwise it would take too much time

    I think your question to me got caught up in a quote.

    In this case, I created the plugin for YOU. It may not do exactly what you want, but it is easily modified by anyone who has a little bit of knowledge of PHP and WordPress.

    The same bit of code that makes up that plugin could also be pasted in a theme functions.php file with the same effect.
