    Hello,

    I have some troubles during migration from one website to another. After importing some posts, I get more then 100 error messages from Broken Link Checker.

    There is some troubles between upper and lower case. For Linux it is a different and therefore I see the error messages from Broken Link Checker.

    The import of the media from the old wordpress website produces url with lower case, but the import of the posts still have a lot of url with upper case. If I change that one by one, it will fix the problem, but there really to much of them to do a manually fix for all…

    Therefore my question, if Broken Link Checker is able to do mass transfer of the url from upper to lower case? The most times, it is only one upper letter like “big_Image.jpg” which need to be “big_image.jpg”. Please for help.

    best regards
    Andyt

    Additional information…

    I was able to do a trick with Notepad++
    Search for: (“https://domain.com/wp-content/%5B^”]*”)
    Change to: \L\1

    After that, I got a xml-file for import. All this with corrected (lower case) url for internal links.

    Hello @andyt8,

    I’m sorry that the plugin did not help you achieve what you wanted.

    Search replace has not been the feature of the plugin. Also, this one is pretty specific. I checked the same with our development team they said it would be difficult to come up with such a feature to make the needed change.

    Should you have any doubts or need any help, feel free to reply in the thread here and we would be happy to help!

    Hello,

    Sorry, but I was busy the whole week and according to my second message I already fixed it. It is still bad to hear, that it is not possible to do a mass replace for broken links in that way. According to your first message that isn’t the feature of the plugin and the developer team said it is difficult to integrate. So it would be no help for me, if the problem would be still there… – didn’t thought it will bring much to ask for the same again…

    In my case the bad url was produced because of importing from wordpress xml file. Therefore it was possible to do a different way by changing xml file and import the xml file a second time.

    However, it is still possible that several urls will fail in the future and until now it is not possible to do an easy mass fix for broken links. Normally new broken links appear not in large numbers. And in the most cases there where a change in the url structure and not a problem between upper case and lower case. Therefore the lack of the function is usually not a problem.
