# Relative links resolve to https://example.com/source-path//dest-path/

 * We’re running into an issue with the Local (old) Broken Link Checker where it
   resolves relative links to the following format:
 * [https://example.com/source-path/%22/dest-path/%22](https://example.com/source-path/%22/dest-path/%22)
 * So, for example, a link on the page `/page-1` that links to `/page-2` ends up
   like this:
 * [https://example.com/page-1/%22/page-2/%22](https://example.com/page-1/%22/page-2/%22)
 * Even `mailto:` links suffer from this issue:
 * [https://example.com/page-1/%22/mailto:user@example.com/%22](https://example.com/page-1/%22/mailto:user@example.com/%22)
 * The actual links on the page work fine, but, according to BLC, we have hundreds
   of `404` links.
 * I haven’t checked every single link, but it looks like BLC is having trouble 
   with links that are added as HTML (so `<a href="/dest-path/">...</a>`). BLC seems
   to include the quotes (“) that contain the `href` value when it resolves the 
   URL (that explains the `%22`‘s in the resolved URL)

 * Hello [@roderickgadellaabsl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/roderickgadellaabsl/)
 * I trust you are well and safe.
 * It appears you have a plugin conflict issue as I couldn’t replicate this problem
   in my lab site, it detects all the links correctly using the local (old) version.
 * I suggest running a conflict test, you can first try disabling and re-enabling
   the BLC plugin and if it wasn’t helpful disable other plugins, please take a 
   look at this document to learn more about how to run a conflict test.
    [https://wpmudev.com/docs/getting-started/getting-support/#conflict-test](https://wpmudev.com/docs/getting-started/getting-support/#conflict-test)
 * If you still have issues after running the conflict test please share a screenshot
   of your links and your site address to take a closer look, you can upload the
   screenshot to a free storage like Google Drive and share the link with us.
 * Best Regards,
    Amin
