Website Links are working but shows 403 error.

  • Hi,

    After clicking on the link you will see a resources page of my website. When you scroll down you will see that Creative Market and Canva are lined (an overwritten line on them). It is caused because of links. Same thing happened to all the buttons and etc on which I have used those links.

    When I clicked on them it worked normal and when I checked on broken link checker it appeared that that is a 403 error.

    The problem is I want the line on them to disappear. Please help me fix this.

    Thanks,
    Ekta

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

  • The line is just a css style You can get rid of it with the css listed below. 

    .broken_link, a.broken_link {
    text-decoration: none;
}

    The links seem to work for me. When I click on them they take me to the canvas site.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for responding to my request.

    Actually I have created the page on Elementor so I am not quite sure where should I put the code. Can you tell me where I do it?

    I’m not familiar with Elementor, but CSS customizations placed in APPEARANCE => CUSTOMIZE => ADDITIONAL CSS box should (almost) always work… unless your theme or plugin is specifically going out of its way to prevent this.

    The thing to bear in mind though about the solution offered is that this will completely disable this broken link indicator provided by the plugin. Again, I’m not familiar with Elementor, but my guess is that at some point these links were indeed broken on the page, which made the plugin add the “broken_link” class so you can easily see your link is broken and fix it. But somehow the “broken_kink” class isn’t getting removed after the broken link is fixed.

    My preferred approach would be to find out how to manually remove this “broken_link” class from your links, or even how to make Elementor automatically remove this class after a broken link has been fixed. This way, you can still have the plugin warn as you build the page should you have a broken link.

    Thank you @gappiah @mrtom414 my problem is solved and the line is disappeared. But I don’t know what you mean when you said the “broken_link” feature will not work.

    I use a plugin “broken link checker” to manually check any broken links on my site (where exactly I found about the 403 error) and Elementor is another plugin that I used to create pages.

    @gappiah you were saying that the plugin “broken link checker” will not be able to indicate me broken links to my site?
