The “Broken Link Checker” plugin needs improvements to work with PHP7.2
-
Hello guys,
I’m using the PHP Compatibility Checker plugin to check if the plugins and theme of my site are compactable with the PHP7.2 version, and showed me that the “Broken Link Checker” plugin is compactable but needs improvements to work with PHP7.2

Is not that a problem?
Thank you,

Good catch @vejapixel . Here is the current situation:
I have put together all the patches around on Github I could find via the network analysis, including PHP7 fixes and transaction fixes (a lot of this was gathered by other developers, see the last link on the post for info). The plugin has not been maintained by what is now a unit of GoDaddy since about Q3 2017.
The Head of the patched Broken Link Checker github repo can be downloaded here if you want to try it:

Repo URL:
https://github.com/HongPong/broken-link-checkerPlease take a look at the issues I wrote up which illustrates good ideas that can be applied to this plugin:
https://github.com/HongPong/broken-link-checker/issuesNote this repo URL is subject to change – if i have to fork it i will change the URL. I already have a “cool name” in mind.
I have requested to take over managing this plugin:

If you support this, you can chime in there! Thanks for the vigilance ??
