How to Add Custom Post Types to Linkilo

Why this matters

By default Linkilo scans posts and pages. If you run an e-commerce site, recipe blog, job board, or any site with a custom post type (CPT), Linkilo can scan those too — you just have to opt them in.

Step-by-step

  1. WordPress → Linkilo → Settings → General
  2. Scroll to Find suggested URLs in these post types only
  3. Check the box next to each post type you want Linkilo to scan: – product (WooCommerce, EDD) – recipe (recipe plugins) – job_listing (WP Job Manager) – course / lesson (LMS plugins) – Any custom post types from your theme or other plugins
  4. Click Save

What changes after enabling a post type

  • Linkilo will scan content from that post type and use it as link-suggestion candidates
  • When editing a post of that type, the Linkilo suggestion panel appears below the editor
  • The post type's URLs become eligible link destinations from your blog posts and pages

A note on scan performance

Each post type you enable means more pages for Linkilo to scan. On large sites:

  • Enable only the post types you actually want internal-linked
  • Run Linkilo → Focus Keywords → Perform Scan after enabling new types so the index is rebuilt
  • Plan a slightly longer scan window if you've added a large new post type (e.g. 5,000 products)
