Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Archivarix Broken Links Recovery

When a broken link is found, the plugin builds a Wayback Machine URL using the original URL and the post publication date as the timestamp. The Web Archive automatically finds the closest available snapshot.

No. All scanning and checking runs in the background using WP Background Processing. Your site visitors are not affected.

This plugin only checks <a href> links. For broken images, use our companion plugin Archivarix External Images Importer.

Whitelisted links are marked as "ignore" and skipped during future scans. Useful when you know a link is temporarily down or has intermittent issues. You can remove links from the whitelist at any time.

Yes. In Settings → Exclusions, list domains (one per line) to skip entirely. Excluded links are never collected or checked, which speeds up scanning, and a domain also covers its subdomains. This differs from Whitelist (which ignores individual links that were already found): exclusions keep whole domains out of the scan from the start — handy for sites you know are fine or that cause false positives.

Yes. The plugin can check internal links using a hybrid approach: first it tries to resolve them via the WordPress database (fast), then falls back to HTTP verification for unresolved URLs.

Some links cannot be reliably checked due to bot protection, rate limiting, or strict security policies (common on .gov/.edu domains). These are marked as "uncheckable" so you can review them manually.

Yes. The plugin scans Elementor content stored in _elementor_data post meta and can fix broken links within Elementor widgets.

Yes. The plugin registers a wp ablr command so you can scan and fix links from the command line without logging into wp-admin: wp ablr scan — run a full scan (extract, check, and auto-fix if automatic mode is enabled) wp ablr status — show the current scan state and link statistics wp ablr list --status=broken — list links (supports --format=table|csv|json|count) wp ablr fix <id> --action=wayback|custom|remove_link|remove_text — fix a single link wp ablr clear --yes — delete all scan data Unlike the admin UI, the CLI runs the scan synchronously in the current process, so it works even where loopback HTTP requests are unavailable.

Yes. Activate it per site or network-wide; each site keeps its own settings and broken-links list. When network-activated, the plugin sets up its tables on every existing site and automatically on any site added later, and cleans them up when a site is deleted. To scan sites without logging into each one, use WP-CLI: wp ablr scan --url=site.example.com for a single site, or wp ablr scan --network to scan every site in the network in one run.
