Title: Hide Link | Really hide links to robots Author: Jose Mortellaro Published: مئی 4, 2021 Last modified: دسامبر 10, 2025 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/hide-link/assets/banner-772x250-rtl.png?rev=2997595) ![](https://ps.w.org/hide-link/assets/icon-256x256-rtl.png?rev=2997589) # Hide Link | Really hide links to robots By [Jose Mortellaro](https://profiles.wordpress.org/giuse/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/hide-link.0.0.3.zip) * [Details](https://azb.wordpress.org/plugins/hide-link/#description) * [Reviews](https://azb.wordpress.org/plugins/hide-link/#reviews) * [Development](https://azb.wordpress.org/plugins/hide-link/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hide-link/) ## Description After successful activation every time you add #hide-this-link to a link, the plugin will replace it with an hidden link. For example, for an URL as https://sample-link.com you should write https://sample- link.com#hide-this-link. Then you will still be able to click on the link, but robots will not see it because Hide Link will replace the link tag with a span and make it clickable with a line of JavaScript. With the [PRO version](https://shop.josemortellaro.com/downloads/hide-link-pro/) the links can be hidden also by CSS class, and you have also the options to hide all the links of the navigation. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a31cd68e1c5de1a15c4a31dd99cc0e9eb0eb4f2aaedd3d3025a1e22d928b9a32? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works Perfectly](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-perfectly-2854/)󠁿 [Skrlance](https://profiles.wordpress.org/seanlance/) مئی 19, 2025 Upon using it on my production site, I see that the plugin works perfectly.

This plugin is simple and perfect! I was looking for an easy way to hide some links and my email address. Other plugins use a shortcode which didn’t always work in different parts of my website. This method works nearly all the time. I ran into one small issue when I tried to put #hide-this-link into a Spectra list block that I had put into a footer widget area. (I’m guessing there was just too much going on.) So, I just changed it to the regular bullet list block and it worked fine. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0750c31ad2e4acbd1e971a549974bf676de83ffafccd57e2dd7e2139fdd9e88d? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Issue fixed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issue-fixed-3/)󠁿 [Jose Mortellaro](https://profiles.wordpress.org/giuse/) مئی 28, 2024 I’m the author. This plugin became invisible after it received a bad review.The bad review was given because of a fixed issue, so I want people to see the plugin again in the search results. It works and can be useful to many users. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6b4ec841a494fdfaefae0ae4a607cf99c255dcacbfd5b1d149b47d73a0ebb76b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[my encoding broke](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/my-encoding-broke/)󠁿 [baladeur](https://profiles.wordpress.org/baladeur/) مارس 17, 2024 2 replies I installed the plugin and after I added a tag to the link, my encoding broke [ Read all 4 reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hide-link/reviews/) ## Contributors & Developers “Hide Link | Really hide links to robots” is open source software.
