Best regards. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Broken Link Checker] Large log file](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/large-log-file-3/) * [Biplav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bplv/) * (@bplv) * [5 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/large-log-file-3/#post-13022868) * Hello [@sunflowermom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sunflowermom/) , The log file is for debugging purpose and you can disable it if you didn’t turn it on deliberately. Also if you decide to leave it turned on, the latest version of BLC there’s the option to clear log-file on a select time interval. You can find this setting on `Settings->Link Checker->Advanced->Log file clear schedule` * Hope this helps.

I have updated the changelog and added the credits there. Thank you for taking out your time to report the issue and helping us out with it we really appreciate that. * Best regards, Biplav. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Broken Link Checker] Error 416 Requested Range not Safe](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-416-requested-range-not-safe/) * [Biplav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bplv/) * (@bplv) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-416-requested-range-not-safe/#post-12964584) * Hello [@dpartridge](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpartridge/) * Can I get the link that is responding with that particular error code? I don’t recall any changes on the current version that could have caused the error you explained. * Can you also try and rollback to the 1.11.12 on the site that is recording this error to see if the issue still persists just so we can make sure the issue is with version 1.11.13? * Best regards, Biplav * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Broken Link Checker] Use archive.org for broken links?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/use-archive-org-for-broken-links/) * [Biplav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bplv/) * (@bplv) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/use-archive-org-for-broken-links/#post-12958505) * Hello [@larsmagne23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/larsmagne23/) * When editing those broken links you will be able to see the archive.org suggestions if there are any. * Best reagrds, Biplav. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Broken Link Checker] Error with 1.11.13 and other get_posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-1-11-13-and-other-get_posts/) * [Biplav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bplv/) * (@bplv) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-1-11-13-and-other-get_posts/#post-12937858) * Hello [@gaambo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gaambo/) , Thank you for taking the time to report the issue, You’re right we are removing the `SQL query` and added a `WP_Query` to fetch posts on the plugin this update because that’s more optimized and convenient way of fetching the posts. * For the `pre_get_posts` that was a really nice catch, but I think the plugin you’re using can do a better job at identifying when the use that hook and when it should be just ignored. However, we’ll check if we can fix those on the plugin as well. If I find any quick fix after a detail review of the plugin I’ll post it as well. * Best regards, Biplav. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Broken Link Checker] What action to press](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-action-to-press/) * [Biplav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bplv/) * (@bplv) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-action-to-press/#post-12924315) * Hello [@dan00neuffer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dan00neuffer/) I hope you’re doing good today. * To answer your first question, `Not broken` is the best way to mark false positives. * For the actual link fixes if you edit the link on the plugin’s link checker dashboard itself it will show on the dashboard immediately, if you directly edited it on the source it might need some time to run the check again, or you can use the force recheck on the `Settings->link checker->Advanced->Re-check` * Hope this helps, Best regards. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Broken Link Checker] Custom role use](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-role-use/) * [Biplav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bplv/) * (@bplv) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-role-use/#post-12916972) * Hello [@colinsp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/colinsp/) , Yeah that is possible to you’ll have to add the `edit_others_posts` to your custom user role. You can do that via the User Role Editor plugin or you can add the following code on your child theme or a custom plugin. Just make sure you change the role slug and replace it with your actual role slug. * ``` function wpmudev_simple_role_caps() { $role = get_role( 'sample_role' ); $role->add_cap( 'edit_others_posts', true ); } add_action( 'init', 'wpmudev_simple_role_caps', 11 ); ``` * Hope this helps. Best regards, Biplav. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Broken Link Checker] Update and error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-and-error/) * [Biplav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bplv/) * (@bplv) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-and-error/#post-12916586) * Hello [@almendron](https://wordpress.org/support/users/almendron/) , Thank you for reporting this, we’ve seen this issue with GoDaddy hosting where WordPress installations there have mixed collations of database. They don’t respect the default collations and use their own set collations while creating default tables( in this case `utf8mb4_unicode_ci` ) and when creating the custom tables they use WP’s collation ( in this case `utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci` ) which is causing this error. We have tried to fix this from the plugin but unfortunately we couldn’t. Furthermore, this may also be causing errors with other plugins that rely on the post table or make changes to it. You’ll probably have to check in with your hosting about this and see if they could use the standard charset for this? * Best regards, Biplav. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Broken Link Checker] Accidentally hit ‘not broken’](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accidentally-hit-not-broken/) * [Biplav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bplv/) * (@bplv) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/accidentally-hit-not-broken/#post-12913371) * Hello [@kalynbrooke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kalynbrooke/) , If you’ve marked the link as unbroken it will still be available at the `All` tab and if you recheck the link again it’ll show the links status again. Please let me know if that helps.

We’re aware of the plugin making expensive queries and we’re trying to fix that on the upcoming updates. Unfortunately we don’t have any ETAs and this is going to be a gradual change but the future updates will certainly look to optimize this. * Best regards, Biplav. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Broken Link Checker] db migration run to often](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/db-migration-run-to-often/) * [Biplav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bplv/) * (@bplv) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/db-migration-run-to-often/#post-12902487) * Hello [@archon810](https://wordpress.org/support/users/archon810/) Yeah it’s true we tried to run the DB queries again because of the issue that was reported here just to optimize them and make them a little better, this is just a foundation for the next future updates where are trying to stop running these expensive queries. * Thank you for your patience. Kind regards, Biplav. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Broken Link Checker] Update 1.11.13 broke the site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-1-11-13-broke-the-site/) * [Biplav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bplv/) * (@bplv) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-1-11-13-broke-the-site/#post-12902485) * [@blogodisea](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blogodisea/) Glad that’s working for you. I don’t think you’ll face those issues now since the table is already updated. But if you do please let us know. * [@archon810](https://wordpress.org/support/users/archon810/) Yeah that’s where the whole process started, we’re trying to fix that but that’s a long process and with trying to do it safely for all our users. I’ve replied on the tread with more details and how we’re handling these more on the future updates. * We’re really sorry for any inconvenience caused, Best regards. Biplav. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Broken Link Checker] All links broken](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/all-links-broken-7/) * [Biplav](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bplv/) * (@bplv) * [6 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/all-links-broken-7/#post-12902323) * Hello [@igramnet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/igramnet/) , The error you’re getting is because of the `open_basedir` module enabled which blocks following the redirect URL while curling a site. It’s nothing to worry if your URL is not redirecting to anything but I must warn you that if your URL is redirecting the plugin won’t be able to check properly. * The log just pops up if you have that module enabled and is just kept for debugging purposes. * We are trying to make the plugin compatible with the module in the future updates but unfortunately we don’t have any ETAs for that. I will keep updating the thread if we make any progress there but for now you can ignore that warning. 🙂 * Best regards, Biplav.
