It isn’t solved !
I remain VERY surprised that there isn’t a plug in which just allows access (for packing staff etc) to JUST the Woo commerce section. In fact, it is so irrational (that all staff have access to the back end of the website) that when the chap who is helping me with the WordPress site told me no such system was available I thought he was misinformed and possibly didn’t know quite as much as he thought he did !
It isn’t just about restricting access to a load of potentially confusing stuff, it should be possible for staff to JUST log into Woo commerce.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Missing a broken link to an anchorI found it and worked out how to use it, I think….
However, despite me selecting “Parse DOM after hashtag”, Check my links did not find the deliberately broken link to an anchor on this page :https://www.aerialsandtv.com/atvtransmittermap.html
The link of the word “polarity” has been deliberately broken to go to :
https://www.aerialsandtv.com/aerials.html#aerialpolarisationsX
when it should go to :
https://www.aerialsandtv.com/aerials.html#aerialpolarisations
Am I doing something wrong ? ! ?

In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Missing a broken link to an anchorThanks for that Adam.
I couldn’t find “Check my links” in eth list of “add ons” in Chrome. How do I get it ?Incidentally, I’m not an IT expert, what does “parsing DOM after hashtag” mean ? !?
I know anchors come after a hashtag, but hat’s about it ! More to the point do I have to do anything with the add on other than just run it ?Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Missing a broken link to an anchorIn the meantime, does anyone know of a link checker (for an online website) which checks links down to anchor level ? I deliberately broke a link to an anchor on my current Webplus site (which was picked up by the Webplus link checker) but Xenu didn’t find it.
The W3C link checker did find it but took an absolute age to check just one relatively short page….Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Broken Link Checker] Missing a broken link to an anchorHello Jorge.
The WordPress version of the site isn’t live yet, it’s still the Webplus version at the moment. I’m waiting till I have completely migrated all the content and links (which is taking literally months…….) before the WordPress version will takeover. That link I put on (Page top link to “Signal meters” on Basic aerial facts) is to remind me which link I have deliberately broken.Essentially the problem appears to be that the link checker only checks links to pages, not links to anchors on pages, it that how it’s supposed to work ? Either that or I`m doing something wrong !
I have deliberately spelt the anchor wrong in the link so it then doesn’t work (the actual anchor is #cheap-signal-meters, but I spelt it #cheap-meters in the link). But the link checker does not pick up the problem and reports :No broken links found.
No URLs in the work queue.
Detected 317 unique URLs in 676 links.Why this is important is, by the time I’ve finished there’ll be literally hundreds of anchors and thousands of links…..

In reply to: Adding, then finding and using, anchors in WordPressThanks for all your ideas, the WordPress “plug in” link checker is defn worth getting.
But, basically, apart from that, it’s not good news at all is it ! Adding these links is taking for ever, I reckon it’ll take weeks (literally).
I just have to look on the positive side, and the only positive I can think of is it’s so time consuming to add links to anchors that it’s unlikely anyone would bother, particularly on a large website with loads of links, thus my site will be the best and probably remain so !
It’d be quite annoying if a plug in (to easily add links to anchors) came out just after I’d finished doing them all manually, so that’s probably what will happen ! ! !- This reply was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by justinaerial.

In reply to: Adding, then finding and using, anchors in WordPressThank you for your answers, I’ll try to get the link checker plug in.
However, they main problem is still how to find the anchors and put in the link to the anchor when I want to put a new link in to an anchor, bear in mind there will be over a thousand anchors.
As an example, I want to put in a link to aerial-polarisations from another page, possibly a new page I may add a year or two down the line. How can I put the link in without having to search out the anchor (and copy and paste it) or copy and paste it from a separate database ? Is there any plug in which will bring up all the anchors available for a particular page ? That’s how Webplus worked, you`d highlight the link text, click link, it’d ask you if you wanted an external link, or to link to a site page page, or to an anchor on a site page. If you clicked the latter it’d bring up a list of all the anchors on that page, you’d click the relevant one and bingo it’s done. The fact it was so easy is partly why my site has so many links, which partly explains why it was so popular !- This reply was modified 6 years, 8 months ago by justinaerial.
