Custom Link Display Plugin for WordPress

Custom Link Display is a flexible and lightweight WordPress plugin that lets you selectively inject custom HTML snippets or dynamically configured links onto specific pages, precisely based on their URLs or URL query parameters.

✨ Features

  • Target Specific URLs: Show custom content only on specific pages. Match URLs strictly, by keyword using "Contains", or via RegEx Patterns.
  • Query Parameter Support: Powerful rule engine easily targets dynamic URLs containing specific parameters (e.g., example.com/page?campaign=summer).
  • Mutually Exclusive Content Types: Choose to either inject a raw custom HTML block or use the visual Link Configurator to build smart anchor tags without touching code.
  • Flexible Placements: Automatically inject rules into the Header, Footer, Before Content, or After Content.
  • Shortcode Support: Use [cld_content id="..."] to manually output your conditional content exactly where you want it within page builders or the Block Editor.
  • Expiry Dates: Automatically turn off a conditional rule after a specified date.
  • Visual Rule Ordering: Simple drag-and-drop rule reordering ensures the correct cascade of priority.
  • Premium Admin UI: Minimalist, fast, and entirely built with a polished native look in the WordPress dashboard.

  6. Pick an Expiry Date if the content is time-sensitive (optional).
