Fails to scrape links with relative URL’s

  • Hi,

    Firstly, thanks for a great plugin. Currently considering whether to purchase pro version for our needs.

    One issue I have encountered: the plugin seems to fail to scrape/import links that contain relative URL’s from external websites.

    For example, in attempting to scrape content from https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/ – it grabs links with full URL’s fine, but not ones using relative URL’s (eg: links in the main content boxes in the above website).

    I have tried all possible combinations of settings (ie: unchecked ‘Only text and images’, unchecked ‘remove links’) – but no difference.

    This seems like a bug. Can it be fixed?

    Many thanks

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

    Hello,
    After inspecting the site , the problem isn’t the relative URL’s but the html surrounding them. this is something I will look into and add to a future update.
    Thank you
