pigmonkey

I’m using Role Scoper inside its normal scope, as well. Having the ability to assign the user editing capabilities on top of everything else would just make life a little easier. But it isn’t critical for the site.

Thanks for the reply!

Popular posts are being outputted down at the bottom, above the footer. Here’s the line:
<li><a href="http://pig-monkey.com/2009/12/02/k-m-match-case/" title="K & a m p; M Match Case"><span class="wpp-post-title">K & M Match Case</span></a> </li>

(Spaces in the amp; bit so that the forum doesn’t translate it)

the a title="" bit is escaped properly, the actual link text is not.

Could you give me an example or two?

Apparently not! I hadn’t logged into WordPress since my above post. Just today I went in to get some examples for you, but all the false positives seem to be gone. There were only ~150 broken links listed, and all of them seem to be accurate. Huh. That’s weird. I was under the impression that once a link makes it into the broken link list, the plugin will ignore it until the user does something with it. But I guess it must continue to recheck those links.

Anyway, that’s my kind of bug fix!

I have noticed two other minor issues with the plugin. The first is that it’s picking up broken links in comments. I guess that makes sense, but it was unexpected for me. I don’t really care if a comment author puts in a broken link as their website when submitting a comment. An option for the plugin to automatically ignore comment author links would be nice.

The other problem is that the plugin is picking up nonexistent links in code examples. I have posts with example code in them. The example code might have a line like <img src="exampleimage.jpg" alt="My Example Photo" />. Exampleimage.jpg doesn’t exist, so the broken link checker comes to it and marks it as broken. Kinda annoying. I’m not sure what the best fix for this would be. Maybe having the plugin ignore everything within pre tags?
