It’s not working for me, either. I registered with a dummy account and used a deliberately wrong answer, and it still let me sign up. Not sure how long it’s been like this, but I was wondering how all these bots were signing up.

@yolandal
About “usefulness of links for the reader” the Mr/Mrs phidippides can’t understand, because he/she tries to make custom relevant linking within free plugin version.

So if I don’t want random links appearing, what exactly is the point of the free plugin version?

@phidippides
The only negative that you can do for your site with the help of irrelevant links is the incorrect weight distribution on the site’s sub-pages. (Creating internal linking)

That’s not true. The big negative of irrelevant links is that it creates confusion for readers and can cause them to leave the site. The entire purpose of hyperlinks is to create meaningful connections between words and other pages; if these connections become unmeaningful, they undermine the purpose of their very existence.

Excellent! Thanks for fixing it, and for the number of tracks showing option.

I still don’t understand. The free version picks keywords from random pages and link them to random pages where those keywords also excist?

One might question the very existence of a plugin that generates links to “random pages”, and one might ask whether this is the very type of thing upon which search engines would frown. That one might be me, and it might be you, and it might be many others who install the free version of this plugin, hoping for something more.

Same problem here.

Still seeing this garbage every so often being spit out by this plugin. Not always, but maybe 50% of the time.

I have wondered the same thing about duplicate content and SEO. This is why under “Content of topic first post:” I have been putting the permalink only. With the way WordPress treats permalinks now, it looks pretty.

I don’t think this changed the URL slug. It still says “preacher” in my urls.

You may want to contact the theme author for help. That would probably be the most direct approach to solving the problem.

Did you reinstall WordPress?

It looks like it’s working now. Thank you.

It might be a problem with your permissions, or with your web host. Have you tried contacting your web host to see if they can help? They may be able to see if your permissions need addressing.

Tom – thanks. I must have missed that option. Now just down to getting the blog highlights off the notification list.

Go to Dashboard > Updates > Click “Re-Install Now”

You should back up WP before you do this. No, it does not lead to data loss (at least it has never done so when I have reinstalled). It’s really easy and takes a few seconds to do.

@stratosphere That is why I am completely fine with having the option to leave it on or turn it off.

The reality is that WP ALREADY provides notifications about plugin updates. On one site of mine there are four places – that’s right, FOUR – in the same view of my administration panel which are telling me that I have an update to a plugin (Dashboard > Updates, Plugins, Wordfence, and the Admin bar notification).

This is overkill, and it’s why I’m asking for the ability to turn it off in WF.
