Archivarix Broken Links Recovery

Automatic mode: Replaces broken links with Web Archive copies using the post date as timestamp. Falls back to removing links when archive is unavailable.

Manual mode: Full control — review each broken link and choose the action:

Internal link checking: Validates internal links against WordPress database and HTTP verification.

Background processing: Scans run in the background without blocking your site.

Scan sources: Posts, pages, custom post types, comments, custom fields, widgets, Elementor content.

Proxy support: Configure HTTP proxies for external link checking to avoid rate limiting.

Detailed logs: Every check and action is logged for review.

Bulk actions: Fix multiple links at once.

WP-CLI & multisite: Scan and fix from the command line (wp ablr scan), and across a multisite network without logging into each site (wp ablr scan --network).

AI-ready (WordPress 7.0): Scan, list and fix operations are registered with the Abilities API and available over REST and MCP, so custom dashboards and AI agents can drive the plugin.

Works great with Archivarix External Images Importer — this plugin handles links, that plugin handles images.

This plugin connects to external services to check link availability and find archived copies of broken pages. No personal user data is ever sent — only the URLs found in your WordPress content are transmitted to these services during scans initiated by the site administrator.

Used to check if an archived copy of a broken page exists and to build replacement URLs.

Used to verify whether a YouTube video is still available.

Used to verify whether a Vimeo video is still available.

Used to verify whether a TikTok video is still available.

Used to verify whether a Pinterest pin or board is still available.

The plugin makes HTTP GET requests to social network URLs found in your content to verify they are still accessible. No API keys or authentication tokens are used — only standard browser-like HTTP requests. No data is sent beyond the URL itself.

Platforms checked: Twitter/X (x.com), LinkedIn (linkedin.com), Instagram (instagram.com), Facebook (facebook.com).

During scans, the plugin makes HTTP GET requests to all external URLs found in your WordPress content (posts, pages, comments, widgets, custom fields) to verify their HTTP status. Only the URL itself is requested — no personal data, cookies, or authentication information is transmitted.

Used solely to test proxy connectivity when the administrator configures proxies in plugin settings.
