1. Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/
2. Activate via Plugins.
3. Go to Tools → 410 Link Unlinker.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Does it delete the link text? =
No—only removes the <a> wrapper; the inner text/HTML remains.

== Changelog ==
= 1.0.7 =
* Add "Trash Matching Posts" feature to bulk-trash posts whose URLs match your 410 list (removes them from author pages, archives, etc.).

= 1.0.6 =
* Fix URL parsing to accept URLs without https:// prefix.

* Add "Show all changes" checkbox to list every modification instead of first 10.
* Fix shortcode matching to support both single and double quotes.
* Only process postmeta values that contain HTML tags (skip internal WP meta).
* Relative path matching now only applies to post_content, not postmeta (prevents false positives across domains).
* Fix PCRE regex limit error when processing large URL lists (600+ URLs now supported).

= 1.0.5 =
* Only scan published posts/pages (skip drafts for faster processing).

= 1.0.4 =
* Add examples output for shortcode attribute neutralization in postmeta.

= 1.0.3 =
