 * This plug-in flags broken links on pages that are not published but are set to
   draft, which is very annoying and makes this plug-in useless for me 90% of the
   time.
 * Please provide an option for your link checker to ignore posts that are not actually
   published (or in our case, have expired and been set to draft).

 * Unchecking the Drafts should resolve the issue. Please do check and see whether
   the above helps.
