Description

The Sticky Links module converts internal links from WPML into references based on the post ID, keeping URLs stable even when you change the slug of a page or move content between translations. Built for people who maintain multilingual sites with lots of cross-referenced content, it prevents links from breaking when translating pages, updating permalinks, or reorganizing the site structure.

Key Features of Sticky Links

  • Conversion by post ID
    Transforms internal links into references based on the content identifier, not the URL slug.
  • Centralized link listing
    Brings all internal links scattered across the site together in a single admin screen.
  • Broken link detection
    Flags pages with references pointing to removed, unpublished, or invalid destinations.
  • Synchronization across translations
    Automatically directs each link to the correct translated version of the destination content.
  • Bulk correction
    Lets you adjust multiple links at once directly from the panel, without editing post by post.

Benefits of Sticky Links

  • Less maintenance after translations
    Reduces the need to rework link reviews every time a new language version goes live.
  • SEO preserved when slugs change
    Avoids ranking loss caused by internal links pointing to 404 pages.
  • Consistent experience for visitors
    Ensures every click leads to the right destination, in whichever language the user is browsing.
  • Time saved for the team
    Frees writers and editors from repetitive manual audits of internal links.

Who Is Sticky Links For?

  • Anyone maintaining multilingual portals with hundreds of interconnected pages and frequent content updates.
  • For people who translate materials periodically and need to preserve link integrity between language versions.
  • Editorial teams that reorganize URLs, menus, and categories without accidentally breaking the site’s internal navigation.

How to Download Sticky Links

The Sticky Links is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it in Plugins > Add New > Upload plugin, select the file, and activate the module. After activation, the management options start appearing inside the WPML panel, alongside the other components.

Maintaining link integrity on multilingual sites is a quiet task that takes hours of the editorial team whenever slugs change or new translations go live. With the Sticky Links module coupled to WPML, that effort disappears: each internal link becomes a traceable reference that survives URL renames, menu restructuring, and expansions to new languages.
