❓ FAQ

Q: How do I remove the auto-link for a specific keyword?
A: Go to the keyword management page, find the corresponding keyword, and delete it.

Q: Why are some keywords not being auto-linked?
A: Possible reasons include:

• The post is excluded from auto-linking
• The post has already reached the maximum number of allowed links
• The keyword appears inside HTML tags, code blocks, or other protected content areas

Q: How can I prevent tags from linking to their archive pages?
A: Custom keywords take precedence over tags. You can add a keyword with the same name as the tag and set it to your desired link URL.
