I’ve not yet installed this plugin but can you show where those links are being added? A brief 30 second look at the plugin code didn’t reveal that to me.

Make sure to check it immediately as I will delete this plugin after you.

Thanks, I’ve found the reference.

Also this part is weird to me but I’m not a fan of ob_start() in plugins.

I’m not sure how I missed it earlier. I must be getting old. 😉
I’ll send the email but in the future to report issues like this one please send an email to the plugin team via plugins [at] wordpress.org and they can make a determination.
Thanks, Jan. And great find!
I haven’t done a thorough check as I am quite busy customizing my site.
My only thought is, the author is creating this to get free links more than making it useful to end-users.
Reported it now…
Sorry about that everyone, the links have been disabled by default and now can be optionally enabled. Please update to the latest version to take advantage of this. It wasn’t our intention to deceive 🙂 Hope you enjoy the plugin and please let us know of any feedback you have!
Can we get this review removed?

Can we get this review removed?
Nope. That’s not done. 😉
If the original reviewer wishes to revise the review then that’s geeksified choice. But the review will stay and is valid.
Any way to ping the OP about this? 🙂
@geeksified We invite you to update the plugin and try it again please. We’ve also added live demo and documentation links!
