    Hello,

    I am using Redirection WordPress plugin and now I have about 1000 redirects (301 redirects)

    I am also using Broken Link Checker plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/broken-link-checker/) , but I don’t know how to configure Cutom fileds to check all destination URLs of Redirection Plugin

    Custom fields | Configure
Enter the names of custom fields you want to check (one per line). If a field contains HTML code, prefix its name with html:. For example, html:field_name.

    Does anyone know how to do this?

    Thanks in advance

    Are you sure Redirection actually stores redirects in custom fields? As far as I can tell, it uses a bunch of custom database tables instead. Though I didn’t examine the plugin in detail.

    Hi Janis,

    you are right! I have overlooked that fact, redirections are stored in custom database tables instead of custom fields.

    But is there any way to make your plugin check those database tables?

    Redirections are stored in “your_WP_DB_name”_redirection_item
    Columns: action_data

    Thank you

    Unfortunately, no – at least not without writing additional code. The plugin doesn’t have the ability to parse arbitrary database tables for links.
