03 / Website use cases
Where to use plain text link extractor
Collecting the links from an email, document or chat by hand misses some and copies others with a stray full stop or bracket. Plain text link extractor finds every web address in pasted text, trims trailing punctuation, removes repeats and gives the list ready to paste, all in the browser.
Content audits
List the links in a draft before publishing.
Research notes
Turn pasted notes into a clean reading list.

07 / Requirements and compatibility
Plain text link extractor compatibility with Elementor
- Requires Elementor.
- Finds links in text; it does not visit or check them.
- Runs in the visitor’s browser.
Complementor uses classic Elementor APIs. Atomic-native controls are not implemented. Check your theme, cache and integrations on a staging site before release.
08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot plain text link extractor
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is a link missing?
Links need http://, https:// or www. and a website name with a dot; localhost and other schemes are skipped.
Why did a bracket disappear?
A closing bracket is kept only when the link opened one, so (see https://example.com) loses the bracket but a Wikipedia link keeps its own.
Why are two links counted as one?
Repeats are matched with the website name in any case; turn off Remove repeats to keep every copy.
Only part of my text was scanned.
The Most characters scanned setting limits very long text; a note shows when it applies.
Plain text link extractor plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Is anything sent to a server?
No. Everything runs in the visitor’s browser.
Is pasted HTML or script run?
No. Text is only read; links are shown as text and safe links.
Can it find email addresses?
Yes. Turn on Email addresses.
Can I export to a spreadsheet?
Yes. Choose CSV and download it.
