You could try installing the development version. It includes some bugfixes that haven't been pushed to the "official" release yet. If that doesn't solve it, send me a few examples of the problematic links (i.e. the relevant HTML from the page editor) and I'll try to figure out the bug.

The plugin activated fine & found a TON of broken links. When I hit the broken links tab & try to edit the URL – it looks like it saves fine but the link is not updated on the page. Any idea what is going on here?

I moved my blog from the root of my domain to example.com/wordpress and am trying to update all of my links from example.com/wp-content/… to example.com/wordpress/wp-content/… If this plugin will work – HUGE help.

Have you tried deactivating the plugin to see if they come back?

It looks like I just received an automatic broken link checker update and suddenly all my 3000 comments are missing, spam too!
Losing hair fast, please help,
thanks

Thanks again for a great plugin. I’ve made a slight amendment, so that it adds ‘rel=”nofollow”‘ to broken links as well as ‘class=”broken_link”‘. This instructs search engines not to follow the broken link.

As for future improvements, I think you’re right to put cron support top of the list, but comment links should be a close second.

Many blogs are conversations and comments can be as valuable as the original post. If you don’t value comments enough to look after them, why have comments at all?

My first impulse is to say the site is doing it wrong – the 201 code is definitely not intended for reporting errors – and so there’s nothing for me to fix. However, I have plans for eventually adding a new filter (or something similar) that would let you sort links by response code, so that might help once it’s implemented.

Hi there I love the idea of this plugin, however it is not detecting all my broken links. There is a site that I frequently link to that uses 201 error pages (I think…the broken links all end with 201) and it is imperative to the nature of my site that I am able to find these broken links and remove the posts when they are no longer valid links. Can you provide any help?

Thank you soooo much! I didn’t really expect to get an answer, that’s so kind of you! Have a great day!

You can view & download old versions here. Any of the 0.4.x releases should be compatible with WP 2.6.1.
