Unable to check site.

Hi Penny,

Thank you for trying the Link Checker.

The error message you get means that the backend of the Link Checker could not reach your website.

Is it possible that the website is not online yet? If it is already online, could you send me the link to your website? Then I could have a closer look.

Best regards,
Marco

Thanks Marco!

The URL is https://www.shannarawiki.net/.

Hi Penny,

I had a quick look and the origin of the issue is that you have set a wrong site URL in your WordPress configuration.

The Sitemap Generator uses the default URL which you have set in the WordPress configuration. For your site this is currently “https://www.shannarawiki.net/wp/”. If I open this URL, I just get an error.

Is is possible that you moved your site from this URL to https://www.shannarawiki.net/ recently?

If so, then you have to adjust the configuration. You find the option in the general WordPress settings. I currently have no English WordPress installation, so I could not tell you how it is named exactly, but it should be something like “Settings” -> “General” -> “Site URL”… Please let me know if you have trouble to find it.

Best regards,
Marco

Hi Marco

That is correct, I have moved the site recently. Since I have WordPress installed in a different folder to the site’s home page, the “Site Address URL” has to be different to the “WordPress address URL”.

Thanks,
Penny.

Hi Penny,

Thank you for your feedback.

I had a closer look and the cause for the error you get is a bug in the Link Checker. The Link Checker currently uses the siteurl variable, which I thought refers to the “Site Address URL”, but as it turned out, this variable refers to the “WordPress address URL”. The naming is a bit misleading ??

I will fix this issue in a few hours and upload a new version of the Link Checker in the evening. I would be happy if you try the fixed version later.

Best regards,
Marco

Awesome. It’s nearly 23.00 here, so hopefully it will all be fixed when I get up in the morning! ??

I now have updated the Link Checker and the new version 1.2.1 is available. Hope it is ready on time ?? May you try the new version?

Thanks Marco – that has fixed it. ??

Hi Penny,

Thank you for testing the Link Checker again. I’m glad that works now.

If you like to also check the images on your site, please feel free to contact me by email for a free token for the professional version as a little reward for your help and endurance.

You could then also use the scheduler for automatic daily checks.

Best regards,
Marco
