Could you post a few examples? Also, what error message does the plugin show for these comments?
All posts are automatically added to Facebook accounts. Comments on the Facebook post for the website post are then imported back to the website, using the “Social” plug-in. This all used to work fine.
Now the comments coming back to the website all get 404 Not Found errors:

Hope that helps!
This is the post that the Facebook comment above is posted to.

There are quite a lot of Facebook comments from 1 month ago. The one from the details above still shows as a broken link ….. it is the seventh comment down. The clickthrough to Facebook from the comment works fine – the link is not broken!
Okay it seems that the Facebook comments are being added to the original post on the website. And the link back to Facebook works just fine. But they are still listed as Broken Links in the Broken Link Checker.
The details above are for this post on the website :

The comment in question is the seventh one down. And the link on the comment clicks through to Facebook without a problem

Actually, that link doesn’t work when I click it. I get a “Content Not Found” page that says this:
This content is currently unavailable
The page you requested cannot be displayed right now. It may be temporarily unavailable, the link you clicked on may have expired, or you may not have permission to view this page.
Perhaps the link only works if you’re logged into Facebook?
You do have to be logged into Facebook for the link to work. Is that why Broken Links Checker thinks the link is broken – although I ran a recheck when I was logged into Facebook. Anyway to get rid of the (not really) broken links. I tried telling one it was a valid link. I tried dismissing the message, but it comes back on the next check.

Yes, most likely. Whether you’re logged in or not does not affect the plugin – it runs on the server, not in your browser.
Anyway to get rid of the (not really) broken links.
You could use the “exclusion list” setting under Settings -> Link Checker -> Which Links To Check. Try adding this line to the text box:
facebook.com/profile.php
That should prevent BLC from checking Facebook profile links.
