# showing links broken instead of going to homepage

 * Hi there-
 * I wanted to know how to make it so that when a link is no good, it will get a
   broken link error. I want to do this because I have a plugin to scan broken links.
   If I would scan my links it would show the ones that are no longer good instead
   of appearing to be ok when the link goes to my homepage.
 * Is there a setting for that?
 * Thanks
