## Description

#### Spread your http get parameters on all your links!

This plugin will automatically take care of “spreading” a parameter on all the links
URL inside a WP or WP MU blog.
 It will add the given parameter at the end of any
link URL inside the site.

It will also add the parameter as a hidden field to any form element contained in
the page (such as the Wordress default search form);
 if the form uses GET as a 
submit method, the URL parameter will be maintained.

This can be used to propagate identification tokens (for on-line shopping sites,
etc.),
 or parameters related to the display (eg. used with the [WP Theme Switcher plugin](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-theme-switcher/)
to choose which theme should be used as a display template).

The plugin works perfectly with WordPress MU, either deployed site-wide or on a 
single blog.

The plugin has its own settings page.

It is **fully internationalized**.

Base package includes .pot file for translation of the interface, and English and
French versions.
