This is because the path we are linking to is no longer valid for whatever reason but the site still exists. In the example above the link to Stringfield Photography is saying it is a 404 not found error. In many cases the url path may have simply changed. I recommend going through the links one by one and double checking to make sure they are actually broken. If you have broken links, you will see something like this: Here you can view, modify or delete the broken links found on your site. Now that you have the Broken Link Checker plugin setup let’s go find some broken links! To find your broken links go to the “Tools” tab in your WordPress dashboard and choose “Broken Links” from the drop down. I would leave the “Protocols and API’s” tab to the default setting unless you know what you are doing. You can thumb through the rest of the options and make adjustments as you please. If you want email notification any time a broken link is found you can specify that here. I recommend you remove the “apply custom formatting to broken links” check mark as this will put a line through any broken links. Here you can setup how you would like the plugin to work for you. Once activated, go to “Settings” and then choose the “Link Checker” Option.
