Thus; your blog is known by every site you’ve ever linked to. WP-HideRefer adds proxies to your outgoing links, keeping your site private! There are many plugins to anonymize links. What makes WP-HideRefer better is: * it’s 100% WordPress API compliant * it’s entirely server-side (= cacheable & no JavaScript!) * therefore; supports [infinite-scroll](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/infinite-scroll/)( AJAX / streaming) * it correctly filters your feeds and comments * [it can handle your manually anonymized links](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-hiderefer/faq/)! //_[Ulf Benjaminsson](http://www.ulfbenjaminsson.com)_ (Please note that WP-HideRefer requires PHP 5 or newer.) ### Additional Notes Copyright (C) 2012-2019 Ulf Benjaminsson (hello at my full name dot com) This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

Extract the `wp-hiderefer`-folder and transfer it to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Go to Settings->WP-HideRefer to adjust settings. ## FAQ What’s the White List for? Once the plugin is activated it redirects all links via a proxy, except for the URLs you enter in this list. If you used to manually add proxies to your links, add those proxies to the White List to avoid double-proxying. You should also white list your own domain. What anonymizing services are supported? You can use any service which runs of URL parameters. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a864761c095f6f68906a4cb27c6d0199360391e93ff52a037048e7d63a03dd4b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Still works](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/still-works-197/)󠁿 [Akira Leir](https://profiles.wordpress.org/akiraleir/) 19, Xunetu de 2021 Does its job just fine on WordPress 5.7.2 and PHP 7.4. If I had anything to complain about is that it doesn’t touch links from shortcodes, but maybe that’s a WP limitation rather than a plugin bug/malfunction. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6ac0fcb5d93f2b4373e8c80e60a8ef6d324bed54d8cbe62f522d07c75069327e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does not work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-not-work-930/)󠁿 [prefec2](https://profiles.wordpress.org/prefec2/) 31, Mayu de 2018 The plugin does not work as advertised.
