    Dear Plugin Creator,

    First of all; thank you very much for the plugin! WOrks like a charm.

    But I would like to add 1 functionality:
    Can I activate the plugin to remove the noreferrer and then deactivate the plugin, so that it keeps the noreferrer?

    I have also added this code in my functions.php for it:
    //This code removes noreferrer from your new or updated posts
    function my_targeted_link_rel($rel_values) {
    return ‘noopener’;
    }
    add_filter(‘wp_targeted_link_rel’, ‘my_targeted_link_rel’,999);

    I want to have as less plugins as possible and just need a onetime fix for this?

    Would love to hear from you!

    Plugin does not change existing content in your database. I thought about it before and also I have a task about similar request: https://github.com/gruz0/remove-noreferrer/issues/4, but I can’t guarantee that it will be implemented.

    I can check your code and return with feedback ASAP.

    That would be fantastic gruz0! Because I really need the noreferrer to be removed from all pages/posts (and stay removed) for affiliate marketing deal I have with a third party.

    @inspired-media, what is the reason why don’t you want to have installed plugin? I think if you remove your noreferrer links once, then you will need to clean up all links in your future posts (if you decide publish new posts, for example). With the installed plugin you forget about your problems at all. ??

    @gruz0 I’ve heard that every plugin slows down the website AND can cause a security issue?

    It is true, partially. If developer does not spent a lot of his time to check every textfield in the settings page, if he does not write automatical test cases for the plugin, it may be used to attack website.

    Okay thanks. I’ll keep the plugin for now then. Thank you for your time @gruz0, really appreciate it!

    I am testing a new version of the plugin now ??
    I think it will be available in 2-3 days.

    @gruz0 great, what kind of changes can we expect?

    * Remove noreferrer from “Text” and “Custom HTML” widgets
    * Do not modify content if links or noreferrer attributes are not found
    * Remove plugin settings on uninstall
    * Initialize plugin with default options on activation
