# Can't edit Link URL

 * Link Checker found several broken links. I found the correct links, copied and
   pasted into the “Edit URL” field and clicked “Update” on all 10. Then selected
   them all and selected “Recheck” from the drop down menu and “Apply”.
 * The URLs were not updated. They returned to their original format. How do I fix
   this problem. Your help is appreciated.
 * Thanks.

 * All of the broken links found by this plugin report as “404 not found” in the
   status column. What does this mean and how is it fixed?
 * Thanks.

 * When you clicked “Update”, did the displayed URLs and status change? Normally
   they will change once the update actually happens. If they don’t, either the 
   update is still in progress, or it failed due to a bug (check your PHP error 
   log).
 * Also, you don’t need to manually flag edited links for rechecking; the plugin
   will do that automatically.
