Title: Plugin doesn’t respect excludes Last modified: May 26, 2026 --- # Plugin doesn’t respect excludes * [Sidular](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamingrant/) * (@gamingrant) * [6 days, 1 hour ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-doesnt-respect-excludes/) * While this is a great plugin on paper, it sadly does not seem to respect its own “Exclude this link” settings. Additionally, it will sometimes report links that are fully online and functional as being down. Figured forcing “Exclude this link” would resolve this, or at least make it so I can exclude links from being redirected. But no. It does nothing.
