Hide Broken Link Checker Notifications
Agencies often struggle with Broken Link Checker because of constant link check alerts. Here is how to fix it.
The Problem with Broken Link Checker for Clients
While Broken Link Checker is a powerful tool, it often presents too many options to the end-user. Clients logging in to manage their site are often overwhelmed by the sheer number of menu items and settings. This leads to:
- Confusion about where to go to perform simple tasks.
- "I broke the site" support tickets.
- A perception that WordPress is "clunky" or "hard to use".
The Manual Way (Hard)
You could try to use custom code in `functions.php` to hide these menus based on user roles. This requires maintaining code snippets, updating them when the plugin changes, and risking breaking the backend if you make a syntax error.
The Client Calm Way (Easy)
Broken Link Checker sends email notifications and dashboard alerts for every broken link it finds. That's useful for you, anxiety-inducing for clients. Quarantine these notifications and fix links on your schedule.
With Client Calm, you just:
- Install the plugin.
- Go to the Menu Manager.
- Toggle off the Broken Link Checker menus you want to hide.
It's that simple. No code, no maintenance.
