# Link marked as broken without https

 * When I have the “Apply custom formatting to broken links” setting enabled, it
   marks a link that works as broken. I believe this is because the link is http
   and not https.
 * The issue is occuring on this page: [https://paratext.org/paratext-help-and-support](https://paratext.org/paratext-help-and-support),
   in the “Scripture Markup USFM Help” section.
 * I disabled the “Apply custom formatting to broken links” for now, but you can
   see this screenshot for exactly where the issue occured: [https://www.screencast.com/t/pLpTET74y](https://www.screencast.com/t/pLpTET74y).
   If you click the “Scripture Markup USFM Help” link, you will see that it is actually
   working and not broken.
 * Thank you,
 * James

 * Hi [@jamesthepost](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesthepost/)
 * I hope you’re well today!
 * I’ve put that URL on my own test site and run link check. It did detect that 
   link but reported it as correct.
 * I understand that the URL of this link is to a sub-site (may it be sub-site as
   in Multisite install or just a separate website under subdomain) of your site
   and you have full control over that site, right?
 * I think there may be some “under the hood” reason for the issue so first thing
   to do would be to check why Broken Link Checker “thinks” this link is broken.
 * Please go to the list of broken links then and find that link there. Then hover
   over the “Status” for that link and a “Details” link will show up so click on
   it.
 * In a right column you’ll see the “Log” section so please copy and share with 
   us here entire information form there (both “Response headers” and “Request headers”.
 * Hopefully this will give some additional insight into the case.
 * Best regards,
    Adam

 * Hello [@jamesthepost](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesthepost/) ,
 * We haven’t heard from you for several days now, so it looks like you don’t have
   any more questions for us.
 * Feel free to re-open this ticket if needed.
 * Kind regards
    Kasia
