 * I know I’m not the first person to point out that this plugin causes custom keyword
   post links to link posts to themselves (i.e. the link in a post directs people
   to the post they are already on), even if you choose the option that is supposed
   to prevent this from happening. I saw a post with instructions by Chris that 
   show how to fix this problem, but his fix isn’t working for me. His instructions
   are over two years old and I suspect that the code has been modified in such 
   a way that his fix is no longer valid.
 * Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I don’t mind having to edit the code
   but I’m not a coder so have no idea how to do this myself.

 * Never mind, I just figured out that I was causing the self-linking to occur. 
   I caused it in my effort to make an internal link open in a new window.
 * You can read my post about that here, which also explains how to make an internal
   link open in a new window: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-internal-links-open-in-a-new-window](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-internal-links-open-in-a-new-window)
