Hi @pnilz
I hope you’re well today!
THe “fix redirect” option is supposed to replace the detected URL with the one it redirects to – within that specific source (so post, page etc) where it was detected.
However, I’m not quite sure what do you mean by “these redirects were set up automatically by the plugin”. Are you referring to Broken Link Checker itself?
It shouldn’t be setting any redirects on its own, it only reports if and URL it’s checking is redirecting it to some other URL but it does not create/add any links or redirects on its own.
Since you mentioned that it seems to create them, could you please describe the case a bit more? How did you found out it’s the plugin adding them? Could you share some example URLs (original and redirect)?
Best regards,
Adam

Ok, thanks.
I have another question: I have over 100 links listed on the “redirected links” page, which refers to images. How do I fix these?

Hi @pnilz
I hope you are doing well.
This is a native WordPress function.
You can find more on:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/redirect_canonical/
The Broken Link Checker will only report the URLs not create the redirect.
Let us know if you have any further help on this.
