  I’m writing a sponsored post and am meant to insert a specific link e.g. stylestore.com/autumn-sales within a sentence of the body of the blog text. Unfortunately it keeps coming up e.g. http://wordpress.redirectingat.com/?id=725X1342&site=thevirgoviolet.wordpress.com&xs=1&isjs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2F and then the website name. The brand wants the ‘simplified’ link to open up – how do I change this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  WordPresscom uses Skimlinks as part of its advertising service, which is what’s causing the behaviour on your site.

  If you wish to prevent that from happening, an upgrade to a paid plan would be required to remove the ads/skimlinks.
