Title: Errors with BLC 2.0 Last modified: March 23, 2023 --- # Errors with BLC 2.0 * Resolved [byothe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/byothe/) * (@byothe) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-with-blc-2-0/) * I was very happy to be able to test Broken Link Checker 2 because I had abandoned the previous version which was too greedy in resources. Unfortunately I launched a scan from the hub and at the end of the scan nothing happened… after having scanned about 250 000 links the tool shows me that there are 0 links and 0 broken links.I get the message “API Error: Crawling in progress”…In short, it’s quite disappointing. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferrors-with-blc-2-0%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [boredbat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lh1999/) * (@lh1999) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-with-blc-2-0/#post-16587804) * Same here, it is really disappointing. Tried BLC 1.0 and it doesnt find all the custom post meta links, and BLC 2.0 stops at like 70,000 something links lol. It takes a long time for it to fully run. * Plugin Support [Jair – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudevsupport15/) * (@wpmudevsupport15) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-with-blc-2-0/#post-16587949) * Hi [@byothe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/byothe/), * I hope you are doing well today! * Have you already added BLC IP to the allow list on your server and try again?

I tried to use v1 this weekend and it’s also having problems… * It looks as if it can only scan new blog posts… * I was using v1 a few months ago and it was working fine… I stopped using it due to it’s heavy ressources consumption… * [Kris – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudevsupport13/) * (@wpmudevsupport13) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-with-blc-2-0/#post-16604413) * Hi [@byothe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/byothe/) * Are you able to disable temporary Cloudflare, run new scan and see if this helps? We had a case where even with Cloudflare settings where BLC was whitelisted scan was not able to run and give results. * Kind Regards, Kris - This reply was modified 3 years, 2 months ago by [Kris - WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudevsupport13/). * Thread Starter [byothe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/byothe/) * (@byothe) * [3 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/errors-with-blc-2-0/#post-16604903) * Hello [@wpmudevsupport13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudevsupport13/) * thank you for the answer… I have decided to remove the plugin for now.
