I’m having the same problem. Anyone have an idea how to fix?

@leap13 Thank you so much for the quick response and supporting this update!

Hi @leap13, I didn’t get an email that you replied. Sorry for my late response. In our case the value for premium_blog_order_by_meta is a numeric string, i.e. “01”, “02”, etc.

Thanks for considering.

I agree with all three of those feature requests.

Considering how long it’s taking to get something simple like this fixed, I’m inclined to abandon this plugin.

Here’s a possible solution. In assets/js/frontend.js in the jQuery(document).ready() function (around line 440), find the following line:

jQuery(select_external).addClass('exitNotifierLink');

Then, ABOVE that line, add the following code:

jQuery('a').each(function () {
	const url = $(this).attr('href');
	try {
		const { hostname } = new URL(url);
		$(this).attr('exitnotifierdomain', hostname);
	} catch (err) { /* Do nothing */ }
});

This code will add a new attribute exitnotifierdomain to all links that contain just the domain of the external link. Then, for those who need this functionality, we can update the selector in the admin backend (on the “Anchor Behavior” tab) as follows:
a[href*="//"]:not([exitnotifierdomain*="example.com"])

@jdembowski, not only are you wrong, you’re doing a disservice to the customers/users/clients/freeloaders (take your pick) using the product. No one appreciates a bait-and-switch. No one likes a surprise when running a professional site.

The new owners of the plugin missed an incredible opportunity to show their users how much they care. Simply notifying us of the change and laying out a timeline for the transition would have significantly reduced the amount of backlash they are currently getting. I get they want to monetize their product. That’s business. But hopefully they factored into their decision all the goodwill they are now losing. After all, goodwill often converts prospects into paying customers.

I, for one, now know how they treat their customers and won’t give their product a chance. Arguing over the definition of “customer” is petty and reinforces the value you give to people using the product.

Went through the process in an incognito window and turned the Manage Your Business switch to “On.” It worked.

I couldn’t get it to work even by toggling the Manage Your Business switch. But then I tried the whole process in a new incognito window and it worked. Not sure if that will help someone else.

Thanks Ben.
