False report

Hi @gwatuk,

Thanks for pointing it out. It looks like you are using the default Gutenberg editor on the mentioned page, right? I gave a quick test on my system with Gutenberg but wasn’t able to replicate the issue. I could notice the plugin was picking up such URLs and wasn’t listed as broken and have a status of 200 when tested.

Is the issue only specific the specific URL on that page? Or you notice similar issues with many such URLs added?

Is it possible to share a screenshot on how its added in the backend to double-check in case we aren’t missing anything out here?

Looking forward to your response.

Kind Regards,
Nithin

Hi Nithin,

Thanks for your message.
I think I’ve found the problem.
Somehow the html has become corrupted.

This is the faulty block:
<p>You can read some of the background to this work from the council's website here: <a href="https://www.scarborough.gov.uk/.../damaged-chalets-be-demolished" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"></a><a href="https://www.scarborough.gov.uk/latest-news/south-bay%E2%80%99s-damaged-chalets-be-demolished" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.scarborough.gov.uk/.../...damaged-chalets-be-demolished</a></p>

So there’s an “invisible” link there which is generating the broken link report.

My fault and nothing for you to worry about ??
But it’s good your plugin found it!

Best wishes,
“gwatuk”
