    Hello everybody,

    I have a wordpress website with a lot of links located in forms.

    The forms are created by contactform7 and visitors can provide links in the contactform and it will directly submitted on the webpage.
    See example on https://www.alans.nl/checkpage/

    I use broken link checker to check the site on broken links but it is not seeing the links in the form on the website.

    The maker of the plugin “broken links” said: Broken Link Checker doesn’t scan the site in “front-end” (like e.g. search engine crawler would) so if these links/tables are only available on front-end when the site is already rendered it won’t be able to see them.

    Does anybody have an idea how to solve this?`

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    ?? No link is seen in the form, and this topic seems to have nothing to do with the contact form plugin?

    Hello Takayuki,

    Thank you for your reply.
    You are right but not totally in my opinion.

    The contactform creates an output what is not seen by the plugin in the back-end. My question is how to make the output from the form in a way that the plugin is able to check the links.

    You write there are no links in the form. Yes there are if you look on the example website I made.

    That’s the output of submitted contact 7 form. I like the urls to be seen by the plugin.

    Kind regards
    Alan

    Possibly in the genertaed table, you should add to the url objects that YOU create as link, using the CF7 input, as processed by you.

    Hello Ziegel,

    thank you for your reply.

    I’m no really an expert with this.

    Do you mind to be a little bit more specific?

    Regards Alan
