Hi @svends
I hope you’re well today!
I understand the issue but currently there’s not much that could be done here. Broken Link Checker checks links as if it was just a regular “browser visit”, basically making a “simulated browser request” to given link.
It would need to be able to login to the site as a user in some way to overcome that and there’s no feature for it. Adding it would require quite a lot of complex custom coding, even assuming that there’s no any additional complex security (like Two Factor Authentication or similar).
A workaround could be possible if there is some way to “bypass” login requirement on site via some special URL (or rather – query var). I mean:
if for example
site.com/something URL cannot be visited without loggin-in but
site.com/something/?temporary_access=true (that’s just example) can be used
then it could be possible to come up with some custom code snippet to make use of it, I believe.
But if there’s no such access then at the moment the only way to check those links would be to temporarily disable login protection for them (to make them public).
Kind regards,
Adam
Hi Adam
Thanks for your answer.
Until now I have marked pages as not dead.
I will see what else I can do.
