Thanks for this excellent plugin!

I’m using version 0.8 and see that “rewrite=>with_front” is supported for custom post types.

Can I inquire as to why support was not added for setting with_front on custom taxonomies? I’ve temporarily patched the version on my site.

Patch Broken Link Checker custom fields

I have this working, but it requires a pretty big patch:

I’m fighting with similar issues and have tracked down some of the cause. BLC does not assume that we’re putting arbitrary HTML into custom fields. It only looks at the first line of a custom field.

Comment from the metadata.php file:

If this is a multiline metadata field take only the first line (workaround for the ‘enclosure’ field).

I’ve never used “enclosure” fields, so I’m not certain exactly how to patch this without breaking them. Overall, I’d rather have BLC run the regular HTML check on my custom fields. The current custom field check is clearly causing people issues.

That’s exactly what I did. BLC is checking the custom fields, but is not reporting the broken links correctly (just as you describe).

I’m also having this issue. After entering the names of my custom fields in the BLC admin panel, BLC does find broken links in those custom fields.

However, it does not correctly determine the URL which is broken (when visiting the “View Broken Links” admin menu. It also fails to style the URLs as broken on the page (via CSS).

As an example, let’s say I have a broken link in a custom field on this page:
https://www.example.com/power-and-cooling-single-computer-installations/

The custom field has a value of:

<ul>
<li>Test broken <a href="https://www.example.com/404-error-no-exist-testing">link</a></li>
</ul>

On the “View Broken Links” page, the broken URL is reported as:
https://www.example.com/power-and-cooling-single-computer-installations/<ul>

Have you looked at this other recent thread? I was having this issue and got it working:
