Wordpress: How to hide/encrypt outbound/affiliate links without plugin


DEMO: Please check any posts on my blog, and click the links in the post, you will find that all the outbound links been encrypted with base64 and redirected with a doorpage:

https://www.waikey.com/go/

Let's go straight to the point, here in this article I will teach you how to encrypt and hide all outbound links (affiliate links) without plugins.

1: Go to theme's function.php

add these codes on the bottom

1) for the links in the post


add_filter('the_content','link_jump',999);
function link_jump($content){
preg_match_all('/<a(.*?)href="(.*?)"(.*?)>/',$content,$matches);
if($matches){
foreach($matches[2] as $val){
    if(strpos($val,'://')!==false && strpos($val,home_url())===false && !preg_match('/\.(jpg|jepg|png|ico|bmp|gif|tiff)/i',$val) && !preg_match('/(ed2k|thunder|Flashget|flashget|qqdl):\/\//i',$val)){
    $content=str_replace("href=\"$val\"", "href=\"".home_url()."/go/".base64_encode($val)."\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"",$content);
    }
}
}
return $content;
}

2) for the links in comments


function commentauthor($comment_ID = 0) {
$url    = get_comment_author_url( $comment_ID );
$author = get_comment_author( $comment_ID );
if ( empty( $url ) || 'http://' == $url ) {
echo $author;
} else {
if (!preg_match(home_url(),$url)) {
    echo "$author";
} else {
    echo "$author";
}
}   
}

2: Create a doorpage file

Create a doorpage file go.html in your site's root directory with codes below:


<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />
<script>

2: Rewrite rules

for NGINX


rewrite ^/go/(.*)$ /go.html?url=$1 last;

for Apache


RewriteRule ^go/(.*)$ /go.html?url=$1 [L]

4: Tips

  • Change www.waikey.com to your own domain;
  • you can change /go/ as you like, but remember to change the doorpage name and the name in the rewrite rules;
  • disallow crawling /go/ in robots.txt
