Hi, I’m using the “watched words” feature, specifically to change certain words for links, which works very well. However, I would like to know if there is a code or way to prevent the word from necessarily being changed in some paragraphs (for example, titles) Basically, I have used this function to put referral links, but since I write the word so many times in the topic, I want to limit where it should not appear, it should be noted that I do not want to eliminate the function, so that when users write the words are changed automatically.

Ok, I have already joined, although well, it has been 8 months since it was requested and there is still no solution to it. :disappointed_relieved:

They are all 1 word. For example Marketing, I can’t separate it

Did you note my second example? It’s one word.

Yes, it seems to have worked, I applied it before the last letter, in case it affects the SEO. Thank you so much
