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:
http://www.example.com/power-and-cooling-single-computer-installations/
The custom field has a value of:
<ul>
<li>Test broken <a href="http://www.example.com/404-error-no-exist-testing">link</a></li>
</ul>
On the “View Broken Links” page, the broken URL is reported as:
http://www.example.com/power-and-cooling-single-computer-installations/<ul>
eliot.eshelman, Just add the name of any field in your plugin settings Look For Links In > Custom fields | Configure
That’s exactly what I did. BLC is checking the custom fields, but is not reporting the broken links correctly (just as you describe).
