* Hi, First of all thank you for this great plugin. I have a table with urls I
want to check. But Linkchecker seems to skip tables. I activated all search areas
but he don’t find those urls. Is there a solution for this?
* regards Alan

* I forgot to give an url to see the table.
It is just a testpage to show the
problem [https://www.alans.nl/checkpage/](https://www.alans.nl/checkpage/)
* I’m willing to pay for a solution if needed.
* Kind regards Alan

* Hi [@alansod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alansod/)
* I hope you’re well today!
* This table seems to be created by some sort of shortcode, is that right?
* 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.
* However, that also depends on the shorcode itself or, rather, where does it take
data to display from and how that data is stored on site.
* Can you tell me how this part (the table) is created then? Is it some separate
plugin (if so, what is it) and where/how the links are defined?
* Kind regards,
Adam

* Hi Adam,
* thank you so much for your reply, very appreciated.
* Let me explain what I want to create.
* I have a seperate website with a lot of links.
This website is not a wordpress
site so there is no option to run your plugin there.
* I made a form where I can fill in all the links used on the other website.
If
your plugin finds a broken link then I know I have to change that link on the
other website.
* So this wordpress site is only used to report broken links.
To make it easy
to add the links in the wordpress site I use the plugins Contact7 and Contactic.
The plugins create the submitted links in the contactform to display on the webpage.
As you can see here: [https://www.alans.nl/checkpage/](https://www.alans.nl/checkpage/)
* The shortcode created is the following:
`[cfdb-table form="Link Checker Invulformulier"
show="naam-cursus,naam-hoofdstuk,naam-pagina,url-367,text" headers="naam-cursus
=naam cursus,naam-hoofdstuk=naam hoofdstuk,naam-pagina=naam pagina,url-367=url,
text=url in tekst"]`
* I really hope you have a solution for this and if I need to pay for your work
then that is not a problem.
* Kind regards Alan

* I forgot some information what might be important.
* To make the links clickable i use this code
* ```
(function ($) {
$('td[title="url-367"] div').each(
function () {
$(this).html('' + $(this).html() + '');
})
})(jQuery);
```

* Hi Adam,
you did not replied me anymore and I’m a bit lost now.
* I tried other forms without like WP forms instead of contactform7 but it has
all the same problem that your plugin don’t see the urls in the form. i also
tried embed excel files, word and pdf files to see if your plugin will see the
links but all not detected.
* Is there any workaround it as it is very important for me to get it working.
* As I mentioned before if I need to pay something to get it working I have no
problem with it.
* Regards Alan

* Hi [@alansod](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alansod/)
* Sorry for the delay here.
* We are having an issue receiving notification of the tickets reply.
* The issue seems related to the JS function:
* ```
(function ($) {
$('td[title="url-367"] div').each(
function () {
$(this).html('' + $(this).html() + '');
})
})(jQuery);
```
* This generates the link in the fly on the Browser Dom side and the Broken Link
checker check the database content.
* You can try to enable the Settings > Which Link to Check > Plaintext URLs in
case it generates a Plaintext from the shortcode, however, in some cases it won’t
work either.
* Can you share a working URL again and we can check the form and maybe suggest
an alternative?
* Best Regards
Patrick Freitas
