It then re-verifies the link again and gives the same output \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cLink is good, removing from list\u2026\u201d<\/em> \u2014<br \/>yet the item never actually disappears from the list permanently.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udd0d <strong>Expected Behavior:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once a link is fixed and verified as good, it should be permanently removed from the list and not appear again after refreshing or rescanning. \ud83e\udde9 <strong>Environment:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>WordPress Version: 6.8.3<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PHP Version: 8.3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This plugin is genuinely helpful, and I\u2019d really appreciate it if this bug could be addressed in an update to make the experience smoother and more reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks again for your great work on this plugin!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-18684120","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18684120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18684120\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18684120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
