MQ ReLinks is a wordpress plugin which allows you to easy redirect all external links in posts, pages, comments, author and widget links, without passing link juice.
In stead of a direct link to another site, the plugin will create a link to a out.php file that will redirect to the requested URL. They can be opened in a new window or in the same one.
You can configure the post, comment and author link options in the administration area.
A redirected link will look like this:
https://maiq.info/wp-content/plugins/mqrelinks/out.php?url=http://www.wordpress.org/
You can edit it to look like this:
https://maiq.info/out/http://www.wordpress.org/
To do so you have to edit the .htaccess file and add a line of code:
RewriteRule ^out/(.*)$ wp-content/plugins/mq-relinks/out.php?url=$1 [L]
right after this part of code:
BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
There are further instructions in the administration area.
Usage:
- Download, unzip, copy mqrelinks directory to your plugin folder.
- Go to your wordpress admin panel, click on Plugins and activate MQ ReLinks.
- Go to Options>MQ ReLinks and configure the plugin.
- Select your desired configuration.
- Edit the .htaccess file (if needed)

I got fun stuff blog. One of the categories is blog and site of the day. As you can imagine I got many outbound links to other sites and blogs. Do you think that your plug in will work automatically on all of them and this is the right way to lower outbound links and in the same time not to cut presentation of great sites and blogs? You can contact me on my e-mail.
Thanks
Hi,
For some reason, the out.php does not redirect. I have to add a get function.
Thanks for the plugin.
What about the blogroll? Any intention to add that into the option?
I dont know but plugin is not working any more. I have changed the host, but everything is the same.
I havent changed anything.
Can you drop me a word or two?
Thanks
Try reinstalling it Aleks.
I did, but everything is the same. Is there some requirement I should ask from host? It’s obviously, because it was working great on previous host.
Can you be more specific about what`s not working? The whole thing? Look at the links, doese it rediredt them to out.php?
I’m getting links like
http://www.e-uuu.com/out.php?url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0942385/
(out.php is on the root)
and as you can try blank page pops out. It’ not redirecting
Ok, so the out.php is not redirecting, that`s from the php settings on your server. Fortunately all you have to do is download the plugin again from wordpress and replace all the files. You don`t have to reinstall it, just replace the files.
Cheers
Yes, now is working fine with new files.
Thanks
thanks a lot. that is what i was looking for.
