 * I am getting an error of “Link keyphrase: You’re linking to another page with
   the words you want this page to rank for. Don’t do that!”, even after I don’t
   have any internal or external link to my post.
 * Even if I add some link (Without matching Link text with Focus Keyphrase), it’s
   showing the same error.
 * Pl, help me resolve this.
    I am facing the same issue with a number of different
   posts on my website.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flink-keyphrase-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@mukat29](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mukat29/),
 * The warning should only appear when you use the keyphrase in the link text on
   the same page. Can you let us know the focus keyphrase you selected for the example
   page?

 * We understand you have not used the `Yoga for Diabetes` focus keyphrase anywhere
   on your site before but you are still seeing that _you have used the focus keyphrase
   before on your site_ from Yoast SEO and it’s frustrating for you. We apologies
   for any inconvenience about this. Let’s see what’s going on here.
 * Since you haven’t used the relevant focus keyphrase before but you are still 
   seeing the relevant notice from Yoast SEO, we think this is something specific
   to your setup. Therefore, we’d like you to please perform a [conflict check](https://yoast.com/help/how-to-check-for-plugin-conflicts/).
   This will help us narrow down the exact cause and determine what the next steps
   are while saving you time.
