# Custom class / Link Template

 * Hi Arjan,
 * Thanks for your wonderful plugin, we enjoy using it and it works great. So thank
   you also on behalf of our visitors. 🙂
 * Because of another plugin it is useful for us if we were able to give the created
   autolinks their own CSS-class. So we are looking for a way to change the HTML-
   format of the links. The older “SEO Smart Links” (which you partly based your
   plugin on) had this option, under “Link Template”. We could edit:
 * `<a href="{url}">{keyword}</a>`
 * So we could add our own class here. For example
 * `<a href="{url}" class="autolink">{keyword}</a>`
 * Is there a possibility to do this with WPA SEO Auto Linker as well, perhaps in
   the form of a snippet?
 * This would help us a lot.
 * Greetings from the Netherlands,

 * Hallo Yuri!
 * We have just decided to reboot development on this plugin. We will be adding 
   this feature in the future (it was on my list of things for a long time already).
   It will be part of the pro version due later this year. The Pro version will 
   be a cheap add-on plugin that should make sure we have the income to keep developing
   on the free and paid plugins. In another post on this forum you can see our development
   planning.

 * Dag Arjan,
 * Good to hear that you are going to maintain the plugin again! I will follow the
   developments and am certainly also interested in the pro version. We use autolinks
   for internal links to our encyclopedic content (and not for affiliate links).

 * Hi [@yuriv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yuriv/) ,
 * We just launched version 1.5 which fixes a lot. We are currently setting up the
   development pipeline and this will be included. Thanks for your feedback and 
   expect this in about 8-10 weeks.
