In line 636 of strictlyautotags.class.php:
Isn’t get_option('siteurl') deprecated?
Shouldn’t it be:
get_option('wpurl')?

Hey Rob!
I love your plugins!
He means it is rendering the following code:
<a class="StrictlyAutoTagAnchor" title="View all stories 'bout Italy here" href="http:/tag/italy">Italy</a>
The domain name is missing, even when the site URL and permalinks are set correctly.
The problem lies, at least in my case, with a conflict with the BWP External Links plugin, which aims to place an external link icon following every external link. Even when I put the site’s own URL in that plugins ‘forced local domains’ box, the issue is still there. It looks like these 2 filters are colliding somewhere within the page rendering loop. Even with the BWP External Links plugin disabled. the generated HTML is still the same as above http:/tag/italy but the link works correctly even though it isn’t coded properly, but should be https://www.bilderbergwatch.com/tag/italy. I took a look at the code in your D.P. site and it is working correctly for you.
In the latest version, 2.82, I have had some other problems. I guess this should be a new thread but oh well. I had a noise word of "new tag" (without quotes;note the space), because I was trying to stop a tag called "new tag" from being created. It didn’t work, but I left it in. Version 2.82 doesn’t like this at all and complains about invalid noise words. Unfortunately, there is no way to remove the existing noise word, i.e., Control-A; delete. They come right back after a save! The only way I was able to solve this dilemma was to manually edit the options table in the database, by deleting completely the “strictlyautotags” entry altogether.
Kindest Regards

If you don’t feel comfortable with phpMyAdmin or don’t have access to it for some reason, install a plugin like WP Options Optimizer (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/options-optimizer/)
activate and run it and then do a search for ‘piwik” (without the quotes) and delete those entries.
I love this plugin!

Patch Works! Mark as resolved.

Hi.
Its caused by the short_open_tag setting in the php.ini set to off.
You are not consistent in your coding, so in line 159 of plugin.php change it from:
<?
to:
<?php
Problem solved!
This is a great plugin and I, for one, appreciate all of your effort at resurrecting a good plugin.
I’m only too glad to help!

Tried on GoDaddy, BlueHost/Hostmonster, Host Gator, 1+1, NameCheap, and DreamHost. Looks like an unescaped string somewhere.

There is an error in the stylesheet. Download a working copy from here: Fixing the WordPress bit.ly plugin (Wp-bitly)

I can confirm this patch works.

The error occurs when you add an un-nested quote, i.e., “table:eq(1) td:eq(3)” and “‘table:eq(1) td:eq(3)” does not work and throws the above error. Note unclosed single quotation in second example.

GoDaddy had php sendmail disabled. To use SMTP, you CANNOT use the regular SMTP sserver, smtpout.secureserver.net but rather use THIS SMTP server:
relay-hosting.secureserver.net, which only works behind their firewall.
