Step-by-step
- Open WBP Omni SEO Pro from your WordPress admin sidebar and go to the section that owns using broken link checker to find and fix broken links and images.
- Review the current configuration — the default values ship safe for most sites, but the exception you are here for usually needs one or two toggles adjusted.
- Apply the change described below, save, then run the built-in one-click audit to confirm no other page regressed.
- Purge cache (page cache + object cache) and refetch the URL in Search Console so Google sees the updated markup on the next crawl.
- Log the change in the SEO change log inside the plugin so your team can trace the impact against the rank tracker two weeks later.
Pro tips
- Never edit these values in bulk during a traffic spike — schedule the change window and use the bulk editor's preview mode first.
- If your host proxies through Cloudflare, whitelist the WBP Omni SEO Pro paths in your firewall before saving to avoid the classic "Unable to save settings" error.
- Pair this setting with the AI Visibility tracker so you can see whether ChatGPT and Perplexity start citing the URL after the change lands.
