Dragon Broken Links – Comprobador de enlaces rotos y corrector de errores 404

Registro de cambios

1.2.0

• New: email alerts. Switch them on under Settings to get one email listing the links that have newly become broken when a scan finishes. They go to the site admin email or to the addresses you enter, and nothing is sent when nothing new broke.
• New: scheduled full re-scan. Every post is read again in the background, weekly by default (daily or off under Settings), so links added without the post being saved are found. It uses the existing background re-check, a little at a time.
• New: optional scanning of public custom fields and approved comments (off by default). A post is read again when one of its comments is approved, edited or removed.
• New: a Bulk tools tab with site-wide domain find-and-replace across broken, suspected and needs-review links (pages built with Elementor, Beaver Builder or Bricks are skipped and named), a button to dismiss every needs-review link, and a CSV export of the findings.
• The plugin no longer links to Dragon Broken Links Pro: the features above are now built in. If the Pro add-on is installed, deactivate it; the built-in versions stay off while it is active. Its settings are not carried over, so turn on email alerts and custom field or comment scanning under Settings afterwards. Webhook and Slack alerts and the scan history chart are not part of the plugin.

1.1.13

• Fixed: Edit URL and Remove link no longer report success on pages built with Elementor, Beaver Builder or Bricks, where the change could not reach the live page. The report now says to fix the link in the builder and opens the builder for you.
• Fixed: removing the link from a button keeps the button and its text instead of making the button disappear.
• Fixed: short phone, SMS and fax numbers (such as tel:911) are no longer reported as broken pages. Rows already reported for them clear on the next scan.
• Faster scanning when many links point to one website: links to other websites are no longer held up behind them, and background checks continue every couple of minutes until the queue is clear, still checking each website politely.
• On sites with WP-Cron turned off, the report explains that background re-checks need a server cron job.
• Uninstall removes the plugin’s scheduled checks on every site, and so does network deactivation (on very large networks, uninstall does it).
• The FAQ no longer promises a revision for post types that keep none, such as WooCommerce products.

1.1.12

• Every report action (scan, re-check, edit, unlink, dismiss, restore, create redirect) checks its security token and your permission itself.
• Fixed: a malformed edit or redirect request gets a clear error instead of a server error.
• Fixed: uninstall deletes data only when the opt-in is clearly on (1, true, yes or on), not for a value set to «false» or «no».

1.1.11

• Fixed: re-reading a post no longer resets its links’ history, so confirmed broken links stay broken and alerts do not repeat.
• Fixed: a one-time error on the first request after some upgrades.
• Links caught by a redirect show as redirected, and Create redirect re-checks the link straight away.
• A link whose host changes (for example after moving from staging) is re-classified and checked again.
• Tab counts match the listed rows. On subdirectory multisite, links to sibling sites are no longer reported as broken.
• Uninstall runs per site on multisite.

1.1.10

• Internal links and images are no longer held to the per-host limit meant for external sites, so large sites are checked much faster.
• Links inside synced patterns are found inside layout blocks, and can be fixed from the report.
• Excluded links are reviewed again when an exclusion rule is lifted, and links no post contains any more are removed.
• Tab counts now match the listed links.

1.1.9

• Every screen, email and alert is now translatable, so community translations from translate.wordpress.org cover the whole plugin. Counts use proper plural forms, and numbers and dates follow your site’s language.
• Scan progress reads naturally in every language.

1.1.8

• Corrected the readme: Dragon Broken Links Pro is an annual licence, not a one-time purchase. No code changes.

1.1.7

• An «Upgrade to Pro» link on the Plugins screen, a one-line pointer at the foot of the plugin’s own screens, and a single dismissible note once the plugin has done its job. All three disappear when the Pro add-on is active; nothing in the free plugin is locked or changed.
• The Pro card on the settings screen is hidden once Pro is active.

1.1.6

• Fixed: when a redirect chain sets a #fragment on one hop and a later hop has none, the fragment is now carried to the final address as RFC 9110 requires (/start redirected to /middle#new and then to /target is recorded as /target#new). Fragments are never sent to the server.
• Thanks to Mike Kuketz (kuketz-blog.de) for the report.

1.1.5

• Fixed: Edit link and Remove link only touch real href and src attributes. Attributes such as data-href, data-src and xlink:href were also matched and could be changed.
• Fixed: Edit link and Remove link match the URL value case-sensitively. Two links differing only in letter case are no longer both changed when only one was chosen.
• Fixed: relative redirect targets (Location headers such as ?x=1, #section, ./page or ../page) are resolved per RFC 3986, so the redirect is followed to the right address.
• Fixed: when WordPress refuses to save the updated post, the fix is reported as failed instead of as done.
• Thanks to Mike Kuketz (kuketz-blog.de) for reporting all four.

1.1.4

• Asks for a WordPress.org review once, only on the Broken Links screen and only after a scan has finished or a link has been fixed. «Maybe later» snoozes it for a month and «No thanks» is permanent.
• Listing title, description and tags now say what the plugin does, so it is easier to find in the plugin directory.

1.1.3

• New: every public post type is scanned – WooCommerce products and custom post types included – with a checklist under Settings to narrow it down.
• New: the background re-check cadence is a setting: daily, weekly, monthly or never.
• Changed: sites updating from 1.1.2 re-read all content on the next scan so the newly covered post types are picked up.

1.1.2

• Copy: plainer punctuation throughout the report, settings and documentation.

1.1.1

• Report: the status key is now three labelled pills instead of a paragraph, so Broken / Suspected / Needs review are recognisable at a glance.
• Report: dismissed and not-yet-checked rows get a neutral pill.

1.1.0

• Corregido: editar o quitar un enlace podía dañar los demás bloques de esa entrada (los escapes JSON de los atributos de bloque, como &, -- o las barras invertidas, perdían su barra invertida al guardar). Ahora cada corrección se guarda exactamente como lo haría el editor.
• Fixed: dismissed links (including those imported from Broken Link Checker) were forgotten when the post containing them was next edited.
• Fixed: a link to a domain that no longer exists was reported as «needs review» instead of broken.
• Fixed: «Remove link» did nothing for URLs containing a query string.
• Fixed: «Create redirect» on a query-style link (/?p=123) would have redirected the homepage; such links now explain why they cannot be redirected.
• Fixed: switching the weekly re-check back on after turning it off left every already-checked link never re-checked.
• New: internal links to deleted, trashed, draft or renamed pages are now detected (old slugs are followed), and internal images missing from the uploads folder are flagged – all from the database, with no requests to your own site.
• New: iframes, video, audio, embeds and reusable (synced) patterns are scanned.
• New: Dismissed view with a Restore action; the report shows counts per view, a plain-English reason for every link, a status legend and a proper first-run message.
• Improved: background re-checks now run every 15 minutes within a fixed time budget, so sites with many thousands of links get through them in about a week; «Scan now» always re-reads every post, never runs two scans at once, and shows which phase it is in.
• Improved: servers that refuse HEAD get a body-free GET before the answer counts, reducing false «needs review» results.
• Security: the connection is pinned to the address that passed the private-network check, closing a DNS-rebinding window; multicast, NAT64, 6to4, Teredo, documentation and benchmark ranges are refused; a redirect back onto your own site is never followed; no more than 64 KB of any response is read.
• Housekeeping: the manual scan stays inside PHP’s time limit; the uninstall opt-in now removes every trace; the cron event self-heals on sites that never ran the activation hook.

1.0.8

• Critical fix: the admin area could show a fatal error on sites running 1.0.4–1.0.7 because the Broken Link Checker import helper was not being loaded. Every admin screen now loads correctly. Please update straight away.

1.0.7

• Reliability: the background re-check now stops within a fixed time budget so a large backlog can never overrun a single cron run.

1.0.6

• Compatibility: tested up to WordPress 7.1.
• Housekeeping: corrected the contributor name in the plugin readme.

1.0.5

• Documentation: clarified that link checking requests external URLs from your server while using no third-party service.

1.0.4

• Data safety: uninstalling the plugin no longer deletes its data unless you explicitly opt in first (new setting under Settings) – a reinstall now picks up exactly where you left off.
• New: one-click import of your dismissed links from Broken Link Checker, so a site switching over does not have to re-triage.

1.0.3

• Polish: one-row toolbar (scan, status, filters and search together), always-visible row actions, segmented filter control, more breathing room under the admin bar, and severity markers that now survive WordPress core’s last-row style. Grammar fix in the scan summary.

1.0.2

• New look: the report and settings now wear the Dragon design system – clearer status pills with reason codes, severity markers on rows, monospace URLs, and a consistent Dragon Core header. No behaviour changes.

1.0.1

• Added a filter so Dragon Broken Links Pro can scan additional content sources such as custom fields and comments.

1.0.0

• Initial release.
