    Can this plugin skip the redirect page – see https://snipboard.io/f9mQdq.jpg. When users click on a link in an embedded file, they get a page asking them if they want to be redirected. Chrome and Firefox have add-ons that skip these redirect pages. Does or can the Embedpress plugin do this?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello there,

    Hope you are doing well.
    About your inquiry, the redirection happening because the document contains a redirected URL. EmbedPress is only embedding the content in your site from the source URL.
    To be able to stop the redirection you need to update the document’s content URL without the redirected part.
    Please check here: https://d.pr/RSrGsB

    You can see in the screenshot that every URL on your document contains a google redirect URL so you just need to remove the https://www.google.com/url?q= part and your issue will be solved.

    Hope it helps.
    Let me know how it goes.
    Thank you.

    Hello again,

    Hope you are doing well.
    Sorry for the inconvenience you are facing
    You are using Google Sheet Publish to the Web Feature on that option every hyperlink in that document google automatically adds https://www.google.com/url?q=on before the URL.
    This is Google Publish to the Web’s default behavior. EmbedPress is only embedding the content in your site from the source URL.

    If you use Google’s share link option then the redirection won’t be added before the URL.

    Hope it helps.
    Thank you.

    When I just use the google share link, the hyperlink didn’t work at all. See

    Hello again,

    Extremely sorry for the delay.

    About the issue regarding URL redirection after an investigation, we found out that any hyperlink in Google Sheet will be redirected actually its default behavior, That can not be avoided I am afraid. Google runs the URL through a safety check to prevent people from clicking on sites with malware. Google would compare the URL’s against what info they have on them in Safe Browsing.

    And EmbedPress is only embedding the content in your site from the source URL.

    If you want to avoid redirection altogether then you could download the document and then you could embed that using EmbedPress. Please check here for a better understanding: https://d.pr/v/oLBAB0

    Hope it helps.
    Let me know how it goes.
    Thank you.
