WordPress Multisite network-wide activation
This plugin does not support network-wide activation for WordPress Multisite, so in case of multisite installs it needs to be activated per each blog individually. Also it is recommended to run only one scan per blog at the same time to prevent server performance issues.
Troubleshooting
There are links not checked
Note that this plugin works only with the editable content of your posts, pages or post types, it does not scan the entire HTML page, it just extract the links and images from the entry content (the content you usually edit via the WP Editor for posts and pages).
Firewall plugins
If you are using the Wordfence plugin, in order to work properly you need to deactivate their Firewall module (even temporarily). Go to the Wordfence menu Firewall, and from the Firewall Status pick Disabled and click the save button. After the scan is complete, you can activate the firewall again.
In the same way, we have detected a conflict with All In One WP Security & Firewall plugin and its Brute Force module, so it is necessary to deactivate these options before play this plugin.
Another issue detected with the WP Secure plugin, you need to deactivate this plugin in order to run the scan properly.
Hosting restrictions
Some users have reported issues for GoDaddy hosting due restrictions for sites with HTTPS enabled and the cURL module (an internal server module used to make HTTP requests to check the links) for some hosting configurations. It seems that GoDaddy applies limits for this module via proxy or similar. For this case it is a hosting-level problem, so this plugin have nothing to do to solve it. Please try the demo before buying to ensure your hosting compatibility.
