I want to be able to link any word of my choice to a specific URL for example: I want the word "goat" to link to "http://goat.com" across the entire website. So all "goat"/s will link to that URL right across the website.
I am using wordpress and I have not yet found a plugin to do this. If I can get a solution to this I would most likely create a plugin for this functionality.
I know how to target one word on a single page. But I would like it to be across all the pages and all the words in those pages( I used JavaScript for this).
Here's a crappy solution but it's better than nothing:
I found some code here which searches for a world across the whole page so I copy pasted that and modified it.
The replaceWord variable cannot contain the same string as word, otherwise it'll loop infinitely.
var word = " goat",
replaceWord = " <a href = 'http://goat.com'>goat</a>",
queue = [document.body],
curr
;
while (curr = queue.pop()) {
if (!curr.textContent.match(word)) continue;
for (var i = 0; i < curr.childNodes.length; ++i) {
switch (curr.childNodes[i].nodeType) {
case Node.TEXT_NODE : // 3
if (curr.childNodes[i].textContent.match(word)) {
curr.innerHTML = curr.innerHTML.replace(word,replaceWord);
}
break;
case Node.ELEMENT_NODE : // 1
queue.push(curr.childNodes[i]);
break;
}
}
}
Hello goat
<div>Look a goat</div>
