    The plugin doesn’t report any dead links and the error logs on the server fill up until it crashes the admin console:

    PHP message: WordPress database error COLLATION ‘utf8_general_ci’ is not valid for CHARACTER SET ‘utf8mb4’ for query

    Hello @confmanager

    I hope you’re well today and thank you for reporting this.

    I came across similar report today and I have already passed it over to our developers for further investigation. We’ve been dealing with some database issues recently but that needs to be checked again.

    They’ll look into it and, I believe, will be able to release a fix soon.

    Meanwhile, could you try installing previous version and then upgrading it to the recent one to see if that helps?

    You’ll find previous releases here (at the bottom of the page):

    Could you also let me know, please, if you’re using mySQL or MariaDB (or another database) and in what version?

    Best regards,
    Adam
