    Hi, I’ve found all my external links ‘striked’ with a 402 error in the status, and I’ve temporarily resolved adding a custom CSS to remove the line on the front-end but it would be interesting to know something more about this new error code, as it seems to be arbitrary applied to all links to ecommerce or similar pages but I don’t feel they’re so ‘dangerous’ to require a striketrough in the front-end, as it acts like a negative signal for readers. I suspect there’ll be more and more users discarding your otherwise useful plugin because of this, especially if they don’t get around the issue with a custom CSS as I did.
