Thanks, Mikko, that was very helpful. I kind of thought it was just bots running terms into the search field, but when I tried doing a search on one of them myself, yup, got results–virtually every page in the site came up. Even though searching page source on a few turned up nothing. But in light of your last suggestion I entered a search on my own fake url https://www.fakeurl.com, and got the same result! So yeah, must be that it’s just matching on any url whatsoever, not just the suspicious looking ones. I’ll probably just go into the Relevanssi database table and delete them manually as there aren’t that many.

Marking this as resolved.

Yup–under deadline and couldn’t figure out how to get SpeakOut to work, so I went with Civist. I’d still be interested in a solution though, as SpeakOut has more options. Basically seems like an issue where the page isn’t getting linked to the necessary assets–in particular CSS and JS–in the plugin. Not sure what could block that. I can reactivate the plugin and post another test page and follow up with a link in an hour or two, though I don’t know if that will show anything other than it’s not connecting to what it needs to function…

I have this problem too, and was able to isolate it to the Pods Framework plugin on my site. I left notes on their support forum and blog notifying them of this WP4.9 incompatibility–hopefully they’ll release an update soon.

Having this problem too. I wanted to make sure the plugin was working so I deliberately created a bad link in a page on my dev site. I went to Settings > Advanced and hit “Recheck all pages and I still get “No broken links found.” But maybe there’s something wrong with my installation because I also get this:

No URLs in the work queue.
No links detected.

“No links detected”? Does this mean what it says–it’s not detecting any links at all?

Thanks Tara. At the moment the problem seems to have cleared up. I’ll give it a try if/when it crops up again.

I second this request. As it stands, it’s hard to make much use of the information when there’s so much noise relative to signal. Opportunity for an add-on or a new plugin here.

Found the answer here:

See the hack provided by ShanghaiTimes. Fixed the problem.

I tried poseso’s hack: after the final line in wp-config.php–

/** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');

I added:

if(is_admin()) {
add_filter('filesystem_method', create_function('$a', 'return "direct";' ));
define( 'FS_CHMOD_DIR', 0751 );
}

It seems to do something: instead of “could not create directory” and having the backend lock up in maintenance mode, as it was doing before, I just get “plugin failed to update.” So I guess that’s an improvement but I still can’t update my plugins. Hope that WP update with the bug fix comes along soon…

Not sure this is the right forum for this question so I’m reposting it in Troubleshooting.
