Troubleshooting tips

• Bypass didn’t work? Make sure the link does not already include nofollow, and that your chosen bypass option is enabled. Blacklist overrides all bypass rules.
• Article/section excluded? Use for an article, or wrap a section with … .
• Whitelist vs. Blacklist: Whitelist treats domains as internal; Blacklist forces rel="nofollow" even if a bypass matches.
• Target handling: If you set “Always _blank”, external links open in a new tab regardless of the editor setting.
