Hi @charbonnier
I hope you’re well today and thank you for contacting us!
I tried to replicate that but I didn’t notice any issues on my end so far. I suppose I might be missing some step or misunderstanding the case so let’s make sure we’re on the same side.
I understand that to experience this I should:
– let plugin check site to detect some broken links (preferably make sure to actually have broken links there)
– do a search and save it as filter (is there any specific search? I tried with just “404” link status, what did you search form?)
– add some new posts with links and let Broken Link Checker test them or just force re-check
– and as a result only links from these new posts would be reported if they match the filter
Is that about right?
Best regards,
Adam
I got 2K+ posts and it works like that:
– In posts I have some text copied from Wikipedia.
– I created a filter to check link to page not exists on wikipedia like that way: “index.php?”
– If I save or update a post I got results on filter, than I can remove link.
– If I have old posts like one or two years ago filter don’t find anything, but if I update post it found it.
Hello @charbonnier ,
– If I have old posts like one or two years ago filter don’t find anything, but if I update post it found it.
The filter works only for links that are already on a list of all the links that Checker found. So if those links are not visible on All, then it won’t show up in your custom Search.
Can you confirm that those links that are not showing in your filter do show on the All links list?
kind regards,
Kasia
I confirm those links are not showing in “all links” but I have no doubt about links exists yet on old posts. Maybe scanning not work properly?
Hi @charbonnier,
Could you try opening couple of those old pages as a visitor and see if the All links filter updates with the links from the pages you have visited?
Cheers,
Predrag
Hi, i visit in private mode some old pages which have some of these links (eg. https://www.ruicardo.com/musica/suggestions/radiodervish-lesigenza/ with Mauro Andreolli hyperlink with link in the filter) but all links section and filter section didn’t find it. For sure if i update the post it will find it.
Hello @charbonnier ,
It looks like something is blocking our plugin from doing its job. In this case, I suggest performing plugin conflict test.
To perform a conflict test please follow the steps from the flowchart:

If you have access to a staging site it is better to perform that test there (if there is no staging, make sure to make a backup of your site before doing any changes).
kind regards,
Kasia
