Description
This plugin will monitor your blog looking for broken links and let you know if any are found.
Features
- Monitors links in your posts, pages, comments, the blogroll, and custom fields (optional).
- Detects links that don’t work, missing images and redirects.
- Notifies you either via the Dashboard or by email.
- Makes broken links display differently in posts (optional).
- Prevents search engines from following broken links (optional).
- You can search and filter links by URL, anchor text and so on.
- Links can be edited directly from the plugin’s page, without manually updating each post.
- Highly configurable.
Basic Usage
Once installed, the plugin will begin parsing your posts, bookmarks (AKA blogroll) and other content and looking for links. Depending on the size of your site this can take from a few minutes up to an hour or more. When parsing is complete, the plugin will start checking each link to see if it works. Again, how long this takes depends on how big your site is and how many links there are. You can monitor the progress and tweak various link checking options in Settings -> Link Checker.
The broken links, if any are found, will show up in a new tab of the WP admin panel – Tools -> Broken Links. A notification will also appear in the “Broken Link Checker” widget on the Dashboard. To save display space, you can keep the widget closed and configure it to expand automatically when problematic links are detected. E-mail notifications need to be enabled separately (in Settings -> Link Checker).
What Is LINQ And Why Do I Want To Use It?
LINQ or Language Integrate Query is a component of Visual Studio developed by Microsoft and introduced in 2007. It simplifies the creation and execution of query expressions.
.. It can also help you with more complicated queries such as finding customers in a certain state,that have bought a certain product, from a certain store. Without LINQ, you would have to iterate over the set with a series of nested and complicated for each loops.The syntax that LINQ uses is easier to create, read and maintain.
