 * Can you give me a few examples? Also, what does the checker log say (click in
   the “Status” column to open the log)?

   or [Test](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-broken-link-checker-perma-link-checking/article-test-one?output_format=md)
 * but now its working. dont know why. maybe some conflict with other plugins (i
   have link indication now activ)
 * and: safe mode is on… but i didnt change that.
    edit: no. it tells me about 230
   broken links. they allare working links in browser. when i have a link to ?page_id
   =12 ist working. but those pretty seo links dont work.

 * Hmm, are any of those links redirects – e.g. do those SEO’d links redirect to
   the ?page_id=xyz version, or something like that? Safe mode is known to cause
   problems with checking redirected links.
 * Also, does the plugin display the correct URLs for those relative links in Tools-
   > Broken Links? There were some problems with parsing relative links in one of
   the recent version, though they should be fixed now.

 * dont understand your first question…
    the plugin display the correct URLs. edit:
   i found something. i hat wp maintenance plugin installed from [http://bueltge.de/wp-wartungsmodus-plugin/101/](http://bueltge.de/wp-wartungsmodus-plugin/101/)
   after deactivating maintenance mode plugin shows correct 404 errors. befor it
   shows only 503-error. this is because there is a login screen and this plugin
   dont use wordpress adminlogin to check links!

 * Yes, this plugin can’t check links that ask you to log in. It only works for 
   links that don’t require authentication. This is not easily fixable.
