Could you provide more info, like url and which link?
This is the current html:
<a href="https://www.example.com/example/?utm_source=KB+Bottom&utm_medium=Cta+bottom+kb&utm_campaign=ads" class="button orange big fcenter" data-wpel-ignored="true"> More info & rates » </a>
The new version removed: “More info & rates » “
I tested it on a local dev server, so I can’t give you a live link.
The same link works fine on my installation, so I don’t know how to replicate your issue.
Btw, data-wpel-ignored="true" in v2 is data-wpel-link="ignore".
The link I gave you is from v1. The url is “hardcoded” in the template. Perhaps that helps?
Is there an “easy” way to debug it myself?
I can only help you if I can see the problem myself. Else it’s just taking wild guesses.
I now see that the plugin is returning a warning:
[Mon Jun 06 17:23:46 2016] [error] [client 192.168.178.25] PHP Warning: FWP_DOM_Element_1x0x0::setContent(): unterminated entity reference Preise \xc2\xbb in /var/www/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-external-links/libs/fwp/class-fwp-dom-element.php on line 60
I” try to dig deeper into this.
Now I know what is happening. It seems like that your plugin crashes when there is a “&” in the anchor text.
Can you test if this also happens in your environment?
PHP’s [DOMElement](http://php.net/manual/en/class.domelement.php) is rasing the warning when using &.
Released antoher patch to fix this, see v2.0.4.
V2 also ads external icons to the admin bar. Can you please remove them?
