Deeplink Juggernaut making links it shouldn't

    I just noticed that we have some instances of the Deeplink Juggernaut making links inside html tags it was banned from doing so.

    It was set up to omit text within an li tag, however there were links created within a setup like this:
    <ul><li><strong>Consumer Contact:</strong> Polaris toll-free...</li>
    The word Polaris was linked, but it should have been skipped because it was inside an li tag.

    I have even tried this set up because the span tag is also blocked, however it is still linking:
    <ul><li><strong>Consumer Contact:</strong> <span class="dnauto">Polaris toll-free...</span></li>

    This is the first time I noticed a link where there shouldn’t have been one, and I have been able to remove unwanted auto links by wrapping the text in a span tag elsewhere.

    These links shown above both have nested strong tags inside, so, if that is the case, then we may have to extend the parsing of tags to catch and enforce instances like this.

    Have you tried removing the strong tags to see what happened (inside the li and the span)?

    I just tried it, and it didn’t work.

    The following all create the banned links:

    <li><strong>Consumer Contact:</strong> Polaris toll-free...</li>
<li>Consumer Contact: Polaris toll-free...</li>
<li><strong>Consumer Contact:</strong> <span class="dnauto">Polaris toll-free...</span></li>
<li>Consumer Contact: <span class="dnauto">Polaris toll-free...</li>

    This line:

    <li><strong>Consumer Contact:</strong> Polaris toll-free...</li>

    Is still using the strong tag. Please remove and try again.

    As I wrote above, I tried it four different ways.

    1) An li tag with nested strong tag
    2) Just an li tag
    3) An li tag with nested strong and span tags
    4) An li tag with a nested span tag

    Each way the word Polaris was linked.
    I have both li and span tags banned.

    Well, you can use the page level links tab in the SEO Ultimate metabox and click the [x] Do not add links to this page/post and that will stop autolinks from appearing on that page.

    Otherwise, for one on one support where our devs could log in and assess what is creating this instance (since this feature works fine for us and we cannot reproduce) you would have to update to SEO Ultimate+ for preferred support.

    All the best,

    Thanks for looking into it. This was the only instance I have seen where it didn’t work as expected.
    I went ahead and excluded the post, and it worked.
