We want the links to open in a new window or tab instead. We are using the "Cloak All Links" option, because editing the thousands of links in all our posts would be unworkable.. Is there a way to have them all open in a new window or a new tab? We installed your excellent plugin but the cloaked links all open in the same window.

Could you give me the URL of your site in question so I can run some tests? You can send it via email ( whiteshadow@w-shadow.com ) if you don't want to reveal it publicly.

I have set up a new site with just a home page and one post, but when I click on this post it seems to default to the home page and that's the URL that is shown. I have set up test posts so that I have several and they all do the same thing. I have tried the suggested remedy of putting the code above the wordpress code in the .htaccess file, but still the only page displaying is the home page, no matter which post I click on. And, whenever I update my permalinks the code is reinserted in its original position below the wordpress code, so that I then have the code both above and below the wordpress code. I have deactivated all other plugins and reverted to the wordpress default theme and this problem only occurs when your plugin is activated. The plugin does cloak my affiliate links, but it seems to be diverting all post URLs to the home page. I love what this plugin does - do you have a solution for this problem?

The new plugin is backwards-compatible and will continue to cloak the tagged links. If you're referring to the <strong>"static" links</strong> feature instead, there will be one additional step necessary after you've installed the premium version : you'll need to go to <em>Tools -> Cloaked Links -> Named</em> and click the "Import" button to import those links in the new version's database. In general, the update process is intended to be as painless as possible, but if you have any problems you can always ask me :) That depends on what you mean by “manual cloaking” :

I am very curious about the premium version of Link Cloaking. Just one question as I am currently using the free Link Cloaking Plugin with manual cloaking: can I just switch to the premium version with auto cloaking or are there any preparations neccessary I should be aware of?
