links inside acf fields not getting marking

    I found recently that I have a few broken links in some created ACF fields.

    I was able to get the search to find those broken links and they do in fact appear in the report on the dashboard.

    I’m having an issue with the links do not get the strike-through when they get reported as broken.

    When I have broken links in my normal content area they get marked up as expected with a strikethrough.

    I would like that same strike through on the ACF fields as its an indicator to users to let us know that there is a problem with the link

    hopefully, I’m not asking too much :D. thanks!

    Hi @josheprovoedu

    I hope you are doing good today.

    We do not have future plans for updates at the moment. When it comes to strike-through in frontend side we use it only for
    the_content(); where <?php the_field('your_field_name'); ?> will be always outside of that.

    Solution:
    1. Settings -> Link Checker -> Look for links in -> enable Custom fields (not Acf fields) and add
    html:field_name
    where field_name is your field name
    and save.

    2. Navigate to Tools -> Broken Links and you should see all broken links from ACF field called “field_name”

    You can enter the names of custom fields you want to check (one per line) in Settings -> Link Checker -> Look for links in -> Custom fields

    Kind Regards,
    Kris

    wasn’t exactly the solution I was after, but my question is answered.

    thanks!
