## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install it through
    the WordPress Plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
 3. Open **Link Assistant** from the WordPress admin menu.
 4. Select a content type and generate suggestions.
 5. Review each suggestion, then approve, reject, insert, or remove links as needed.

## FAQ

### Does SILA insert links automatically?

Yes, when you choose to insert a suggestion. SILA first generates internal link 
suggestions for review. When you click Insert, SILA automatically adds the link 
to supported WordPress content. Elementor-built source pages currently require manual
insertion.

### Does SILA modify my content automatically?

No. SILA never changes your content without your action. Links are only inserted
when you click **Insert Link**.

### Which content types are supported?

Posts, pages, and WooCommerce products.

### Does SILA support Elementor?

SILA may generate suggestions for Elementor-built pages. However, automatic link
insertion into an Elementor-built source page is not currently supported. SILA displays
a warning, and the link must be added manually in Elementor.

### Can I remove inserted links?

Yes. Any link inserted by SILA can be removed from the **Inserted Links** section.

### Why do I sometimes see “No natural anchor text was found”?

This means SILA found a relevant target page but couldn’t safely identify suitable
anchor text inside the source content. You can edit the content manually or choose
another suggestion.
