I have done some more tests and found only one small problem. As you can see in the image, the “Status” field is not correct. However, in the “Response headers” register the value is correct. (Note: open the image in a new tab to view it correctly)
// Redirects don't work when safe mode or open_basedir is enabled.
if ( ! blcUtility::is_safe_mode() && ! blcUtility::is_open_basedir() ) {
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true );
} else {
$log .= "[Warning] Could't follow the redirect URL (if any) because safemode or open base dir enabled\n";
}
I have removed the conditional so that it does not evaluate “safe_mode” and “open_basedir” and the plugin works fine.
I have tested and the redirects work even if safe mode or open_basedir is enabled. Therefore, the conditional would not be necessary, at least on my server.
I have looked through the previous discussions and found that three years ago I consulted on the same (or similar) problem. After that query I never had the problem again. I don’t remember if I made any changes to the server or if there was an update of the plugin.
There are also problems when the status is 301 and we encounter “cloudflare”, “cloudfront”, “myracloud” or similar applications. The plugin detects the status correctly (301), but the “Redirection URL” field is wrong.
I disagree. With one or two links it is impossible for the plugin developers to draw valid conclusions. That’s why I listed many links. This is not spam.
I’m not going to argue with you about the usefulness of this plugin. It works quite well and helps a lot to keep my site clean from broken links.
There are 302501 URLs on my site and only a small percentage have any errors. I am convinced that this is a server type related problem and most likely has no simple solution.
I will do as I said: I will prepare a text document with the affected links and upload it. Afterwards, it will be up to the plugin developers to decide if this information is relevant.
All my posts have been deleted. It is impossible, therefore, for you to look for any link in the missing links. In the next few days, I will compile more links and upload a text file. If you analyse those links, maybe some common element will appear.
And since my answers have been deleted, I remind you that the problem is
The plugin detects the 301 redirect. This works fine. It is a redirect because when I click on the link it takes me to a page whose URL is different from the one stored.
The value in “Redirect URL” is incorrect. It does not show the new URL but the same URL as in the “URL” field.
