Hi Jim

Thank you very much for your review and your input during the development process of the new feature. I’m glad that the CSV export function fulfills your needs.

Best regards and have a nice time

Hi Toby

Thank you for your review. Unfortunate to hear that the Link Checker does not work out for you.

A function to remove broken links directly will not be implemented anytime soon for the Link Checker. Mainly because I belief that just removing broken links is not a good solution in the most cases. In many situations it is necessary to rewrite or restructure the content.

Such a function would also come with a high risk because the HTML code that you see in the wild is often invalid or badly formatted and this makes manipulation very hard and error-prone. So it’s necessary to recheck each automatic correction manually anyway.

What I consider implementing are helper functions to edit the links. For example highlighting of the broken links on the live site with an overlay or quick links to switch to the editor.

One of the advantages of the Link Checker compared to the Broken Link Checker is that it checks your complete site and not just posts, pages, comments, the blogroll, and custom fields.

To further strengthen this advantage I’m planning to add full JavaScript support in the near future.

Best regards and further much success
Marco

Hi valsc

Thank you very much for your review. I’m glad that the Link Checker helped you to improve your site.

I’m aware of the false positives, but it is sadly very hard to reduce the number of false positives because many sites block small crawlers and do not respond in a uniform and appropriate way. Some respond with a custom status code, some just return a status code 404 or others return 403 (forbidden) if the crawler is blocked. Also some plugins like Wordfence make trouble.

However, improving the quality of the results is my main focus for the next months after I have worked mainly on usability the last few months.

Some weeks ago I have implemented a “Mark as fixed on all pages” button which is especially useful to mark false positives and get cleaner results.

Best regards and have a nice evening

Hi murryg81

I had a look at the issue and you have made a small mistake in the purchase form. In the purchase form, you inserted the domain with the protocol and without www (https://musingsfromaredhead.com) instead of just the domain (musingsfromaredhead.com). Under these circumstances the token verification works stricter than normal and fails if you try the Link Checker from your admin panel when you are logged in via https://www.musingsfromaredhead.com (with www).

I have just fixed this and the Link Checker is now more tolerant and will detect such situations in the future. I will publish the new version on the server (no new plugin version) this night.

Please write me a short email to email@marcobeierer.com and I will send you new token as a little excuse for the trouble you had. The new token would be valid for 180 days instead of the 30 days purchased.

Best regards
Marco

Hi Eiko

Thank you for using the Sitemap Generator and your report.

I had a quick look, but found nothing suspicious. The Sitemap Generator is up and running. Could you maybe try to use the Sitemap Generator again? Maybe it was just a temporary problem.

I will also investigate this later if there could be any issue with the IPv6 connection.

Best regards
Marco

Thank you for all the work you have done.
