 * Hi [@bestia516](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bestia516/),
 * We are sorry to hear you have a potential problem with our plugin, and are happy
   to help try and resolve this for you.
 * Firstly could you please clarify what you mean by “makes all the links on the
   page inactive”? – What do you mean inactive? Has the anchor been modified? etc.
 * Other information that may prove helpful in resolving this issue:
    Are you using
   the default WP-NoExternalLinks settings? Or have you changed them? What theme
   are you using? Any other plugins you are using? What version of PHP are you running?
   Which version of WordPress is installed?

 * Hi [@redboxx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redboxx/),
 * Firstly, sorry for the slow reply.
 * Unfortunately, our plugin is only designed to target HTML Anchor tags with a 
   href attribute.
 * I can pass this post along to our dev team and see if there is something they
   can do but I cannot guarantee anything.

   for some point next week. I hope this is acceptable for you.

 * Hi [@dineshsangwan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dineshsangwan/),
 * Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Some how we missed the email notification
   of your reply.
 * The issue you are describing sounds like a bug we fixed in an earlier version
   of our plugin. The cause of that issue was the database table didn’t exist until
   after the first link had attempted to be masked, this meant the first link would
   be given a mask of 0, which doesn’t exist.
 * We will happily help resolve this issue with you, but firstly, are you running
   the latest version of our plugin (4.2.2)?

 * Hi [@flyontime](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flyontime/),
 * Glad to hear version 4.2.2 has fixed the PHP errors.
 * With regards to the “_external_links_masks” table – Does the table still not 
   exist in your database? If not, you could try the following:
 * **We strongly recommend backing up your database before trying this!**
    - Go to the WordPress Options table in your database (“**_options**“).
    - Find a row with the “**option_name**” of “**wp_noexternallinks_version**“.
    - The “**option_value**” should be “**4.2.0**“.
    - Change the “**option_value**” to “**4.1.0**“.
    - Load any page on your site.
    - The “**_external_links_masks**” table should now be created.
 * I hope this helps, if not, let us know and we will investigate this issue some
   more.

 * Hi [@flyontime](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flyontime/),
 * We are sorry you are having issues with our latest update.
 * Could you confirm a couple things for us?
    1. What version of our plugin were you using prior to updating?
    2. Does the “_external_links_masks” table exist at all in your database?
 * With regards to the second issue. – What are you expecting to see here? To us
   it appears you have the option ‘Convert All Links to Text’ enabled, and you seem
   to be targeting the domain ‘travelpayouts.com’.
 * If you could provide the information we have requested we can look into the issue.

 * Hi [@flyontime](https://wordpress.org/support/users/flyontime/),
 * Could you please create a new Support Topic about the issues you have mentioned
   above?
 * Also, while you are creating the new support topic, could you please provide 
   more information. For example, what you did to get the mysql error? Did you simply
   just run the update from WordPress? And what is the problem in your second post?
 * We look forward to helping resolve any issues you have with our plugin.
