@ravanh Sorry about the delay, I don’t get email notifications about these support requests for some reason, regardless of how many times I try to subscribe to them.

Anyway, I saw your issue on my end, too, so I got it fixed. Please update to version 1.1.3.4 now.

Let me know if you have any further issues or need anything else. You can also reach out Discord for a faster response. The link is on the plugin description.

Hi @supertrooper2 , sorry about not seeing this. The WP plugin support forum doesn’t like to send me notifications for some reason. Anyway, the only way to stop the scans in the background is to go into the Broken Link Notifier > Settings > “Enable Multi-Scan for these post types”, and uncheck any post types you don’t want to scan automatically. The auto scan feature is kind of the point of the plugin, so I didn’t add a button to turn it off. It will auto scan after the page loads so that you get notified when they are found rather than manually scanning them. Hope that answers your question.

@supertrooper2 , this was very nice to wake up to this morning; thank you very much! I’m glad you like it. ??

Thank you so much for the positive review! ?? Glad it helps!

@photokitchen , I already mentioned this in my FAQs:

If the link works fine and it’s still being flagged as broken, then it is likely either redirecting to another page or there is an issue with the page’s response headers, and there’s nothing we can do about it. If it is a redirect on your own site due to permalink modification, then it’s better to fix the link instead of unnecessarily redirecting. You may use the Omit option to omit false positives from future scans as well. If you are seeing a pattern with multiple links from the same domain, you can go to?Broken Link Notifier > Omitted Links?to add a domain with a wildcard (*), which will omit all links starting with that domain.

Every link checker will flag some links as broken when they are not at some point.

If you are having specific issues that don’t seem right, you can let me know what they are and I can look into it further.

@oddmonster

Alright, let’s clarify. I am understanding that you are on the Broken Link Notifier > Results page. Under the Source column, it shows you the page where the broken link is found. If you hover your mouse over the table row, you will see a list of action links: View | Omit | Scan Page | Edit. When you click on the Edit link, you are seeing the error: Not Found, The requested URL /wp-admin/post.php was not found on this server. The Edit link (not the View link) is supposed to go to edit the page that the link is on, but it gives you the error instead.

In order for me to fix that error, I need to know what your post edit screen path actually is. To get that, ignore the links on the Broken Link Notifier Results page; I am not asking for the edit link that shows up there. In your admin dashboard of your website, go to either the Posts or Pages section. Then edit any post or page. This is your actual edit screen. Copy the URL of that screen from your browser. It should end with something like /post.php?post=12345&action=edit. I am guessing that your path does not actually use /wp-admin/, but I could be wrong.

Now, separate from all this is the View link on the Broken Link Notifier Results page under the Source column, which is supposed to take you to the front-end of the site where you can view (not edit) where the link is at. That link has the query string parameter ?blink=.... When I go to this page using the domain you gave me before you changed it to a generic one, I do not see a problem. I see the page where the broken link is at, and the broken link is there on the page blinking yellow. It is under HOME & FAMILY > Family Support. I’m not sure what this has to do with the Edit link. That View link is only supposed to show you where it is located; it does not allow you to edit it. They are two completely separate things.

Unfortunately I cannot share screenshots here. It is much easier for me to discuss this on Discord if you are able to get on there. https://discord.gg/3HnzNEJVnR

Hi @oddmonster , I can’t help you unless you tell me what the link should look like. I need to know the path to the post edit screen. Go to Posts and edit any post, then copy the URL to that edit screen and send it to me (masking the domain of course).

@oddmonster , it sounds like the Edit link is working now? That link you are sharing goes to the page that the broken link is on, and if it’s visible on the page it will highlight as it does in your example. You will see it highlighted and glowing under HOME & FAMILY > Family Support . When you click on the Family Support link it takes you to a page that says the link is broken. When looking at your console, I see the link is showing as <a href="_wp_link_placeholder">Family Support</a>.

@oddmonster , yeah I have it installed on a multi-site installation as well, so that shouldn’t be an issue. If you go to the page that the link was found on to edit it, what does the URL path look like?

By the way, I’d recommend replacing your domain in the link above to an a fake one like “mydomain.com” or “example.com” since this forum is public.

Also, I just noticed if I go to your sites without going to the admin, I get this message:

"If you are a member of the general public: The fact that you are seeing this page indicates that the website you just visited is either experiencing problems, or is undergoing routine maintenance."

Hi @oddmonster , I apologize that I am just seeing this. I’m looking at it now, and don’t get the same problem. I am on the Broken Link Notifier > Results page, looking at the Source column. The Edit link should look something like this: https://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=1950&action=edit. If you go to edit the actual page, can you confirm that the URL path matches this link? I’m guessing that is mismatched and that is where the problem lies.

Thank you so much for the positive review, Nathan! Glad it is helpful to you and your clients. ??

Hi @nshower, thanks for bringing it to my attention. I have fixed the issue and pushed a new update (v1.3.5.4) a minute ago. ?? Please update the plugin and let me know if you continue to have any issues.

I do appreciate you looking into the source of the problem and pointing me in the direction of what needs to be fixed. It helped save me a lot of time debugging it. ??

Also thanks for the kind remarks. Glad you like it! ??

Same here, but I don’t have Gravity Forms – Gravity Wiz.
