I think I found a minor bug in Broken Link checker. It is falsely reporting a broken link on a dynamic href parameter.

This is page: https://www.photomodeler.com/
This is the href:

This is the broken link checker message:
Link text :
Link URL : https://www.photomodeler.com/%5Btcb_post_the_permalink%5D

This is not a broken link. The actual link in the href=”” is fine.

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

Broken Link checker looks at your posts’ code, not the resulting HTML output by PHP. So if your posts contain shortcodes for a plugin to parse, you can’t really expect BLC to understand and check these links. Just the way things work I’m afraid.
