After installing and activating plugin, hidden links look like ordinary ones. This moment can mislead and complicate work of plugin.

You can check whether plugin works correctly in two ways.

1. On page, where there are hidden link or user comments, press keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+U — new tab with source code opens.
2. Now press Ctrl+F on keyboard — field for text searching appears. Enter phrase in it data-link and press Enter on your keyboard.
3. Browser found in source code all matches with necessary phrase (it is present in hidden link). In search box to the right of entered phrase, inscription with number of found matches appears (i.e. hidden links), and near — arrows for transition to previous and next found fragment.
4. If in found fragment after phrase data-link goes link address you have hidden (or site address commentator) — it means that plugin hides link.

Sample: <span data-link="http://mylink.com" data-target="_blank" title="Title" class="link">anchor</span> not like this: <a href="http://mylink.com" target="_blank" title="Title" class="">anchor</a>
