Hello John,

If anyone knows of similar plugin, please post here?

]]>Hello,
I am in the process of upgrading my server to PHP 7 and I used the php compatibility module plug in.
It says that there is a small incompatibility in your plug in. The error/warning it gives:
Name: WP Lynx
FILE: /var/www/clients/client2/web13/web/wp-content/plugins/wp-lynx/class.llynx_scrape.php
——————————————————————————–
FOUND 0 ERRORS AND 1 WARNING AFFECTING 1 LINE

59 | WARNING | INI directive ‘safe_mode’ is deprecated since PHP 5.3 and removed since PHP 5.4

Your plug in works well and I use it form time to time. I would like to make sure it keeps working once I upgrade.
Thanks for any comments you might have.
Thanks

]]>First, I love this plugin, it’s exactly what I was looking for. It worked a treat the first time I used it, but upon trying to insert another, the little ‘loading’ icon just turns and turns and never actually inserts the link. I’ve tried about half a dozen different URLs with no joy. Any ideas? I’d really rather not switch to a different plugin. Thanks!
(Using the latest version of Lynx.)
]]>Hi,
I can’t use your plugin with aliexpress since few days (before it works fine).

Can you help? this is a change from aliexpress? They block something?
Please help me ??
]]>Hello!
How can I style the output differently?

Thank you!
]]>Hello,
I am having problem with 403 errors trying to use this link: https://www.spittoon.biz/visiting-katogi-averoff-greece/
Also, I get a timeout error trying to link within my own site. I assume that would be a PHP timeout you said I need to fix? (I have no idea how to do that.)
Thanks!
]]>Is there is a way to change the link of the image, when we GET and link and insert into post, the image is linked to the URL link we used.. is there a way to tweak that URL or not have it linked to the link at all.
%image% is linked to URL, I need to change like this:
%image% is linked to <yoursite.com>?url=URL

]]>When I attempt to access the settings for the plugin, I get the following error:
]]>The page you are trying to access is restricted due to a security rule.
If you believe the security rule is affecting the normal operation of your website, contact your host support team and provide detailed instructions how to recreate this error.
They will be able to assist you with rectifying the problem and adjusting the security configuration if needed.
When I open the window to enter the link, there is a text box for the URL but no button to click to pull the data in. So I have no way to insert links. I disabled all plugins and still no change. I’m using the Divi theme.
]]>Hello John!
Thank you for this extremely useful plugin, it’s just what i was looking for.
I have an issue with it when a post have more than one wysiwyg field (using custom fields), the button appears on all fields (editor and custom), but only work (opens) when clicked on on the first one.
Is there a way to define that the button appear on a specific field?

]]>Hi there! Very happy to have found a decent plugin for Facebook-style link previews. Only problem is I’d like to style it to match my website better, but:
When I update the Lynx print template under settings it has no effect.
This applies both to old previews and new ones.
Any help?
]]>Hi
Can it made possible to post from frontend (rather than the admin backend) when we are using themes like p2 or Mercury?
These themes already lets you post link via a link tab, so if Lynx can hook into this links tab and show a preview of thumbnails when the links tab is used it will be nice.
Thanks for the help and the nice plugin.
]]>I tried to add this link to my post. However, I am getting the error below

Could you please let me know how to chnage the htpp redirect count?
Otherwise, the plugin has been working fine and I have been able to add other URLs
