Keyword Linker

Found in the Elementor panel under Dotjuice → Keyword Linker.

How it works​

This widget doesn't display anything visible on the page itself — it works in the background, scanning your post and page content for the keywords you've defined and converting matching occurrences into links. Add it once to a template that renders post content (a Single Post or Single Page template), and it applies to every post/page using that template.

Matching happens inside paragraph and heading text only — text inside list items, tables, or other structural elements isn't scanned. Matching is whole-word and case-insensitive, and any text that's already part of an existing link is left alone.

Content settings — Keyword Links​

A repeater list; add one row per keyword you want linked.

SettingWhat it does
KeywordThe exact word or phrase to search for. Matches are whole-word only (so "cat" won't match "category") and case-insensitive.
LinkThe destination URL, with options to open in a new tab and/or add a "nofollow" attribute.
BoldMakes the generated link bold.
Link All OccurrencesIf on, every matching occurrence on the page gets linked. If off, only the first few (see Max Links below).
Max LinksOnly shown when "Link All Occurrences" is off. The maximum number of times this specific keyword gets linked per page (1–50, default 3).

Setting it up​

  1. Add the widget to a template that renders your post/page content (typically your Single Post or Single Page Elementor template — this is a "Theme Builder" style template in Elementor, not a specific individual post).
  2. Add a row for each keyword you want automatically linked, with its destination URL.
  3. Save and visit a post that contains one of your keywords — it should now appear as a link.

Good to know​

  • This widget needs to sit on a template that actually renders post content — placing it on a page with no post content being displayed does nothing, since it works by intercepting WordPress's content output.
  • The first occurrence of a keyword found in a matching heading or paragraph keeps its original capitalization in the resulting link — you don't need to match the exact case when defining the keyword.
  • Links are only ever added inside <p> and heading tags — if your target text lives inside a list, table, or custom block markup, it won't be matched.
