Install Mentionlink on WordPress

Please install the dedicated WordPress Mentionlink Plugin from the WordPress.org marketplace.

Purging the Cache

If you're using a cache, such as the LiteSpeed Cache, you'll need to purge all pages for the Mentionlink plugin to start working. You'll only need to do this once after installing Mentionlink and setting the domain property in the Settings menu item and the Mentionlink submenu item, respectively.

Purging the LiteSpeed Cache

Go to the LiteSpeed Cache section of the sidebar. Then click on the Cache menu item. On the Cache tab, toggle the Enable Cache to off, and then click Save Changes at the bottom of the page. Once this is done, toggle the Enable Cache back to on, and then click Save Changes at the bottom of the page. After doing this cycle, the Mentionlink script will start to be embedded on your pages.

Alternative: Manual WordPress Installation Instructions

  1. Navigate to your WordPress admin dashboard. The dashboard can usually be found at https://website.com/wp-admin/ where website.com must be replaced with your own domain.
  2. In the left sidebar, hover over Appearance and click on Theme File Editor.
  3. In the right sidebar, click on Theme Header (header.php).

Then, add the following line inside the <head> tag, just before the </head> tag closes.

<head>
  <?php wp_head(); ?>
  <script data-domain="website.com" src="https://cdn.mentionlink.com/script.min.js" defer></script>
</head>
