we know my wp glossary lack configuration screen but there is a lot of filters you can use to change this behavior.
There is all the avalable filters
“mywpglossary_matching” change term matching rules ( is_singular or in the in_the_loop and is_main_query and not in a glossary page by default )
“mywpglossary_insertion_style” change term display mode use ‘link’, ‘popin’ or ‘tippy_poppin’ ( ‘link’ by default )
“mywpglossary_override_term” change the terms data ( content, link, etc ) match in the current context
“mywpglossary_exclude_tags” change parent tags ignored when searching for glossary terms ( hx and a by default )
“mywpglossary_override_glossary_link” change the link generated for each terms
“mywpglossary_display_term_content” change the content of each terms
“mywpglossary_override_tag_limit” change the number of terms who can be displayed by pages ( -1 for infinite by default )
“mywpglossary_tippy_theme” change the tippy theme
“mywpglossary_glossary_term_limit” change the maximum display term in the glossary page ( 200 by default )
“mywpglossary_glossary_term_archive” change the archive markup for the glossary page
“mywpglossary_use_single” enable terms single, replace terms content into the block by links to the single
‘mywpglossary_alpha’ for index chars used by the glossay
‘mywpglossary_encapsulation_chars’ for accepted encapsulations chars
‘mywpglossary_term_transient_key’ for cache transient key
‘mywpglossary_term_transient_expiration’ for cache expiration time
so if you whant to desactivate the term detection you can send a false into the filter “mywpglossary_matching”
add_filter( 'mywpglossary_matching', '__return_false', 0, 10 );
But i have just update the plugin your probleme shoud be solved. ( terms link are in cache it may take 6h to update or you can delete the “{your_table_prefix}_options” entry “_transient_transient_glossary” and “_transient_timeout_transient_glossary” ) form your db.
