## Beschreibung

**4WP Smart Link** adds inspector controls and toolbar shortcuts so editors can:

 * Attach a custom URL to a Cover block output.
 * Use a dynamic “current post” permalink inside Query Loop contexts.

Frontend markup wraps the rendered Cover block in a standards-compliant anchor when
a URL resolves.

### Frontend markup

When a link is output, the plugin wraps the Cover block with an `<a>` element:

 * Base class: `forwp-smart-link-wrapper`
 * Block modifier (Cover): `forwp-smart-link-wrapper--cover`
 * Machine-readable hint: `data-forwp-smart-link="cover"`

Themes may style `.forwp-smart-link-wrapper` globally or scope overrides per modifier.

### Developer / pre-release checklist

Before uploading banners or screenshots:

 * Manual QA in the block editor: custom URL, reset, dynamic “Post Link” inside 
   a Query Loop, open-in-new-tab, nofollow / relation field, accessibility label.
 * Frontend: confirm `<a>` `href`, `rel` when target is `_blank`, and no empty wrapper
   when URL resolves empty.

## Blöcke

Dieses Plugin unterstützt 1 Block.

 *   4WP Smart Link Editor extensions for 4WP Smart Link on supported core blocks.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `wp-content/plugins/` or install the ZIP through **
    Plugins  Add New**.
 2. Activate **4WP Smart Link** through the Plugins screen.

## FAQ

### Does this replace native Cover linking?

Cover does not provide the same link semantics; **4WP Smart Link** layers an `<a
>` wrapper server-side.

### Does it depend on other 4WP plugins?

No. It runs standalone.

### Will the editor preview match the front end?

The link wrapper is applied on the **front end** only (via `render_block`). The 
block canvas does not wrap Cover in the same `<a>`, so spacing or theme link styles
might differ slightly until you preview the published page.

### Accessibility: card-as-one-link pattern

Wrapping the whole Cover in an `<a>` is valid when inner blocks do **not** contain
other links or interactive controls. Nested `<a>` elements are invalid HTML and 
hurt accessibility—avoid links/buttons inside a Cover that already has Smart Link
enabled.

### SEO `rel` when opening in a new tab

For `target="_blank"` the plugin adds `noopener` and `noreferrer` to `rel` if missing,
while preserving your `nofollow` and other tokens.
