Links are being generated on BLACKLISTED posts!

    Many posts on my website already have some manually created internal links so I’ve added them to the ‘global blacklist’ in the settings. I’ve also limited the ‘Maximum amount of links per post’ and ‘Maximum frequency of how often a post gets linked within another one’ to 2 but all of this is seemingly being ignored as links are still being added to these posts (and some keywords are being linked from a whopping 60 posts or more). All of this is a problem but I’m mostly concerned about links popping up all over the posts that are specifically on the BLACKLIST! How can this be fixed?

    Can you try to rebuild the index from here and check if it changes anything? https://prnt.sc/srQ746UbfpNk

    Every time I create a new post that I don’t want included for internal linking, I immediately put it on the “global blacklist” before saving. I then wait for the Linkindex to reach 100% but internal links are still being added to the post anyway and ignoring the blacklist. I needed to rebuild the entire index “multiple times” and cleared the entire cache for the links to finally disappear. But when you have thousands of posts, rebuilding the entire index multiple times when adding just one new post and then clearing the entire cache is just wasting a lot of resources. Is there any other way around this or will it need to be done each time a new post is added?

    Just checking if there has been any progress on this as nothing has changed?
