Title: Plugin does not delete broken links Last modified: April 22, 2021 --- # Plugin does not delete broken links * Resolved [QUEERmdb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/queermdb/) * (@queermdb) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-does-not-delete-broken-links/) * When I click “Remove Link”, it no longer shows up as a broken link. But: The cross-out disappears from the link name in the post. You can still click on it and get a 404 displayed. Is this a bug? WordPress warns your plugin is not up to date.

Your plugin is still not working. Will you fix it? * Plugin Support [Patrick – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudevsupport12/) * (@wpmudevsupport12) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-does-not-delete-broken-links/#post-14476438) * Hi [@queermdb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/queermdb/) * We will work on a fix, but we can’t give an estimated time. * The issue is related to how the plugin stores the content in the database, it uses the panels_data so we need to implement a specific function for this page builder. * It also adds the content encoded which the plugin is not able to work on at this moment. * Our developers will be working on this fix, but we can’t give an estimated time, however, we create a small integration for you: * [https://gist.github.com/wpmudev-sls/2565b6a88fcb26d892bad928fb3db6f8](https://gist.github.com/wpmudev-sls/2565b6a88fcb26d892bad928fb3db6f8) * Please, make a full backup, install the code as a mu-plugin: [https://wpmudev.com/docs/using-wordpress/installing-wordpress-plugins/#installing-mu-plugins](https://wpmudev.com/docs/using-wordpress/installing-wordpress-plugins/#installing-mu-plugins) * Flush all caches like Object caching and check if the issue is gone. * Let us know the result you got.

I hardly understand what you are offering me. So I am waiting for the fix. I would be glad if you then leave me a message here, so I know that I can use the plugin again.
