Version History & Fixes
- Resolved Issue: In versions 1.0–1.3, the plugin used a method that caused raw link code to be visible as plain text in posts due to WordPress security filtering.
- Current Solution: Version 1.8 and above completely fixed this by switching to output buffering.
- Maintenance Recommendation: A Database Cleaner tool is available to fix any posts affected by older versions of the plugin.
