Change history and undo

Change history is the audit trail for every link Core Plus Links has inserted on the site. Open Change history from the Core Plus Links admin.

Core Plus Links Change history report listing inserted links with origin, change, status, run, and source-page filters, per-row Undo, and Undo this run — Change history — filter and sort every inserted link, then undo one row or a whole run.

What is recorded

Each row is one change the plugin wrote: the source page, the anchor, the target, the kind of change (inserted link, and other types if they appear), the origin (Auto-linking or another change), the status, when it was applied, and which run it belonged to.

Nothing is sent off the site. The ledger lives in your WordPress database.

Filter and sort

Filter by Origin, Change, Status, Run, Rule, and Source page. Sort the table against the allowed columns. A keyword rule’s linked-page count opens this report already filtered to that rule.

Three undo scopes

Undo on a row reverses that one inserted link. The visible text stays in the post. Undo creates a WordPress revision.
Undo this run reverses every safely reversible link from that apply batch, as a background job.
Undo all links from this rule (on the Auto-linking rules table) reverses every safely reversible link that rule inserted. It does not disable or delete the rule.

The confirm states the count before anything is reversed — for example, how many links across how many posts and pages.

Confirm dialog Undo this run stating this reverses 4 links across 4 posts and pages, and that a post edited since its link was added is left to fix by hand — Confirm before a run or rule undo — the exact link and page counts, and the fix-by-hand rule.

When a post was edited since the insert

If the post was edited after the plugin inserted the link, automatic undo is unsafe. The row is flagged Cannot undo — this post was edited after the link was inserted. Open the post and fix the link by hand. The plugin never silently overwrites later edits.

Undone rows show when they were undone. Undo this run is hidden once every row of that run is already undone.

Recent changes on the Auto-linking tab is a short list of the same ledger. The full history, filters, and run-level undo live on Change history.
