 * Hello everybody,
 * I have a wordpress website with a lot of links located in forms.
 * The forms are created by contactform7 and visitors can provide links in the contactform
   and it will directly submitted on the webpage.
    See example on [https://www.alans.nl/checkpage/](https://www.alans.nl/checkpage/)
 * I use broken link checker to check the site on broken links but it is not seeing
   the links in the form on the website.
 * The maker of the plugin “broken links” said: Broken Link Checker doesn’t scan
   the site in “front-end” (like e.g. search engine crawler would) so if these links/
   tables are only available on front-end when the site is already rendered it won’t
   be able to see them.
 * Does anybody have an idea how to solve this?`
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcheck-broken-links-in-forms%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * ?? No link is seen in the form, and this topic seems to have nothing to do with
   the contact form plugin?

 * Hello Takayuki,
 * Thank you for your reply.
    You are right but not totally in my opinion.
 * The contactform creates an output what is not seen by the plugin in the back-
   end. My question is how to make the output from the form in a way that the plugin
   is able to check the links.
 * You write there are no links in the form. Yes there are if you look on the example
   website I made.
 * That’s the output of submitted contact 7 form. I like the urls to be seen by 
   the plugin.
 * Kind regards
    Alan

 *  to the url objects that YOU create as link, using the CF7 input, as processed
   by you.

 * Hello Ziegel,
 * thank you for your reply.
 * I’m no really an expert with this.
 * Do you mind to be a little bit more specific?
 * Regards Alan
