Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about The Permalinker

It is recommended that if you are mixing non-terminating short codes with terminating codes, that you change all non-terminating short codes into terminating short codes with whitespace as the content: [permalink] becomes `[permalink] [/permalink]` Leading or trailing whitespace is trimmed off of any content within the permalinker short code tags.

Yes. Simply add class, rel, or target attributes to the [permalink] short code and they will be added to the resulting anchor element: [permalink id="232" rel="related" target="_blank" class="highlight"]My favorite post[/permalink]

Yes! Simply use the new append attribute (added in version 1.6): [permalink id="232" append="#comments"]People are talking, talking 'bout people.[/permalink]
