In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] WP 4.6 compatible?Hi
Unfortunately no support of this plugin in at least the last 6 weeks. So the only solution right now is to test this yourself on 4.6 RC…I had to downgrade to a previous version due to unaddressed bugs in the latest version.

In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Missing Images – Not WorkingHi Chris,
I’m not the plugin developer, just trying to help.
This plugin does detect missing images: it scans your posts and pages looking at all links, including image links. If your photo was embedded in a post and it’s now missing the plugin will eventually detect it.
Has it already performed a scan thru *all* your posts? This can take a long while.V 1.10.9 has been running fine for the last few hours. I compared code between this version and the current and there quite a few changes. I suspect the main change came with V 1.11.1 with the:
“Major performance improvement. Database queries reduced up to 10x in some cases.”
It could be worth checking 1.10.11 to see if it’s working as well.That’s great info. I will try this as well. Thanks.
Be patient with the developers. This is a free tool and a lot of work went into it: they will fix things eventually. The code is really well written.
During the night I had another idea on how to fix this plugin. I will give it a shot and report here.

In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Stuck at X URLs in the work queueOK,
Same problem again: this time after only 500 out of 7000 links it stopped: the process is still running and recording in the log (apparently successfully, ie, lines are updated) but nothing gets updated in wp_blc_links.This is a major bug in an otherwise excellent plugin. Unfortunately it renders the plugin useless until the developer is able to fix it. Despite my best efforts I have not found the reason why the UPDATE no longer works after a while.
I had given this plugin a 5 star rating, but will be degrading this until this is fixed. I sincerely wish good luck to the developers (it’s strong programming so it should be quite easy for them)

In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Stuck at X URLs in the work queueI’ve checked the UPDATE function in links.php and cannot see anything wrong despite the fact that it obvisouly is not updating the wp_blc_links table.
Here’s what’s happening: the plugin keeps scanning the same 30 or so links continually, but does not write in the database that it has scanned those links. That’s why at each cycle, when it checks the database for the next links to be scanned, that it scans the same ones again, and again, and again…
I have used the nuclear reset (which completely drops the blc_links table and rescans the site) with debug log turned on from the start. This way I will be able to see what happens once blc_links is no longer updated.
But given the size of my site this could take half a day before we get there.

In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Stuck at X URLs in the work queueYes: the UPDATE query is adding \ before each field and just before the closing apostrophe of each field. This is breaking the update.
So the plugin is running, but the blc_links table does not get updated.
I’ll see if I can find what’s causing this. Ideally at this point the plugin developer would step up 🙂
EDIT: it seems it’s the debug that’s add_slashing, not the actual query.

In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Stuck at X URLs in the work queueI installed and started running the plugin this morning. All was well, but now I am getting a similar behavior than yours. Let me be precise as perhaps we don’t have the exact same problem:
– in the dashboard the queue does not move
– I have log enabled, and I see that the plugin is executing regularly: it’s even writing to the database
– I checked the blc_links table and an hour or 2 ago it started writing incomplete lines in the table: only link_id and url are filled. All other variables, including last_check, last_check_attenpt, final_url… are empty.
There are thousands of such lines. This is a problem.
– the log also shows the UPDATE sql query. I’m investigating into this query as clearly it’s not writing correctly the the table.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Stuck at X URLs in the work queueWait.
Before doing this check in advanced settings the 3 variables: execution time, server limit, resource usage limit.Execution time: move to 60 seconds
Server charge: leave empty (for our test)
Resource usage: increase thisActivate the log.
Then check your log that it runs.It could be that the plugin never runs because your server is too weak for your settings.

In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Stuck at X URLs in the work queue2015?! OK, you have a problem 🙂
In your shoes I would:
– delete the plugin (not only desactivate, really delete)
– check that the 4 tables this plugin installs are gone (wp_blc_instances, blc_links, blc_synch and blc_filters. If not delete these tables thru phpmyadmin.
– re-install a fresh versionForum: Plugins
In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Stuck at X URLs in the work queueSue and co: if you are using the default wp-cron on a dev site with no traffic this could explain the problem. You need to trigger wp-cron regularly.
Just brainstorming here while we wait for the “official” support: I believe the batch is triggered by CRON. And you know WP’s CRON is by default triggered by users navigating the site: so if you have no traffic then the cron never gets triggered.
You could (and should IMHO) move to an automatic CRON (ie, an external process that triggers wp-cron every 2 minutes).Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Stuck at X URLs in the work queueHave you enabled the log? Perhaps there is some hint in the log file of what’s going on?

In reply to: [Post Ender] This is how to fix the Deprecated Error Notice in post_enderI’m getting another deprecated warning in post-ender.php and I was unable to fix this with the method above. If anybody has a solution for this I’m a taker.
