FineWebDev on "[Plugin: WP External Links (nofollow new tab seo)] issue if URLs are added to exception list"

Hi,

I am the developer of Leaflet Maps Marker and Maps Marker Pro. Your plugin does not work out of the box with mine, so I added it to the compatibility check. If your plugin is active, the users sees an admin notice which asks him to add the following values to your exception list:

mapsmarker.com
leafletjs.com
mapicons.mapsmarker.com
visualead.com
openstreetmap.org
mapquest.com
data.wien.gv.at
stamen.com
creativecommons.org
mapbox.com
thunderforest.com

Anyway sometimes there seem to be an issue (cant offer steps to reproduce it) - anyway after having saved your exclusion list and working on my site again, after some time it seems your list is reset and the following error is displayed in the PHP error log

unserialize(): Error at offset 426 of 460 bytes

wpel_init() wp-content/plugins/wp-exteal-links/wp-exteal-links.php:76

Afterwards the exclusion list is empty and has to be added again.
Not sure if this is a general issue of your plugin or caused by my server configuration - just wanted you to know!
best,

Robert
