Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Extend Link

Yes! Use the Classic Block in Gutenberg, then access Extend Link from the block's toolbar.

Absolutely! Just separate multiple classes with spaces (e.g., "btn btn-primary custom-class").

It sends a request to the URL and checks the HTTP response. Working links return 200-399 status codes, while broken links return 400+ codes. This helps you maintain good SEO by identifying dead links.

The download attribute works on most modern browsers, but some may ignore it for cross-origin URLs or certain file types for security reasons.

Select the heading, click "Extend Link", add your ID and/or classes, but leave the URL field empty. The plugin will apply the attributes to the heading itself.

The plugin works with any editor that supports the Classic Editor or Classic Block. Compatibility with page builders depends on whether they use the WordPress Classic Editor.

Yes! Extend Link is completely free and will always remain free with no premium version or hidden costs. Plugin Reference Everything related to the plugin can be found on this page.
