SleekView Kanban for Broken Link Checker
SleekView reads the Broken Link Checker results table directly, then renders one card per detected link. Move a card from Broken to Fixed, dismiss harmless warnings into Ignored, or accept clean redirects without leaving WordPress or scrolling through long sortable result tables.

A live board for Broken Link Checker results
Broken Link Checker stores every link it has scanned in the wp_blc_links table with a status column that swings between broken, warning, redirect, ok, and dismissed depending on the most recent HTTP check. The default plugin screen lists those links in a long sortable table that works fine for a handful of bad URLs but turns into noise once you scan a site with thousands of posts and several years of editorial history.
SleekView Kanban points at the same wp_blc_links rows and groups them by a status-like column you pick. Use the link status to see Broken, Warning, Redirect, and Dismissed lanes side by side. Each card shows the URL, the source post, the anchor text, and the last HTTP code so an editor can scan a lane and decide which links to fix, edit, or dismiss without clicking into each row.
Dragging a card between columns writes the new status back to the Broken Link Checker row through the WordPress REST API. The standard plugin screen stays in sync, the scheduled rescan keeps running on its existing cadence, and the editorial queue lives next to your content instead of buried inside a separate WordPress admin screen full of dense tabular data.

Comparison
Broken Link Checker report vs SleekView Kanban
Broken Link Checker report
- Links appear as a sortable table without visual lanes for broken, warning, or redirect.
- Filtering by post or HTTP code reloads the report and resets the scroll every time.
- No drag interaction, so editors edit one link at a time through small action links.
- HTTP codes live in a small column instead of as a visible signal across cards in a lane.
- Bulk triage on a fresh scan takes many clicks instead of a single drag motion per card.
SleekView Kanban
-
Reads
wp_blc_linksrows directly with no extra sync layer between you and data. - Group by link status, link type, HTTP code bucket, or any enum-shaped column on the row.
- Writebacks use the WordPress REST API and respect existing Broken Link Checker rules.
- Cards show URL, source post, anchor text, and HTTP code on one card front with no setup.
- Stays in sync with the standard plugin report so the table and the board never disagree.
Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for Broken Link Checker
Status-aware grouping
Pick any enum-shaped column on the wp_blc_links table and SleekView treats its distinct values as kanban columns. Reorder them, set a color per status, and hide ones you do not care about for this view in any sweep.
Drag updates the database
Dropping a card in a new column writes the new value to the Broken Link Checker row through a capability-checked REST endpoint. The change shows up everywhere the link table is read, including the standard report screen.
HTTP code as a card signal
Each card shows the HTTP code and last check timestamp prominently, so a sweep of the Broken lane reveals 404s, 410s, and timeouts at a glance. The detail panel keeps the full response headers and any redirect chain for context.
Audience
Where Broken Link Checker teams use kanban
Daily broken link sweep
Editors clear the Broken lane every morning by dragging fixed links to Ignored or updating the URL inline. SleekView writes back so the next rescan does not surface them again on the board.
Dismissing expected codes
Vendor login pages and tracking pixels return 401 or 302 by design. Drag those into Dismissed once so future scans skip them, and the warning lane stays focused on links that actually need attention.
Redirect chain cleanup
Group redirected URLs by destination and decide whether to update the source link or keep the redirect. Drag fixed sources to Ignored once updated and the redirect lane shrinks over time.
The bigger picture
Why a board beats the BLC report screen
Broken Link Checker is excellent at scanning a WordPress site for bad URLs, and the scheduled rescan is the right tool for staying current on link health. The problem is what comes after the scan. The default report lists every link in a sortable table, which works fine on a small site but turns into a wall of rows on any site with years of editorial history.
Editors scroll, sort by status, click into individual rows to edit URLs, then bounce back to scroll some more. State is implicit, and the difference between a link you have not seen and one you have already chosen to leave alone lives only in the editor head, or in a brittle external spreadsheet. SleekView Kanban fixes this by treating the same Broken Link Checker rows as a board.
Every link is a card, every status value is a column, and dragging a card writes the new status back to the row. The scheduled rescan keeps running on the same cadence, the standard report keeps working, and the editorial queue lives where the content already lives in WordPress.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for Broken Link Checker
Both. SleekView reads the standard wp_blc_links table that ships with the free plugin and it picks up any extra columns the Pro version adds. The board configuration lives in SleekView, so changing plugin tiers does not break your existing view.
Yes. Any column with a small set of repeated values works as a kanban grouper, including text fields like link type, HTTP code bucket, or source post type. SleekView shows the distinct values it found and lets you map each one to a column.
The drag triggers an UPDATE on the underlying link row, so the change is reflected in every Broken Link Checker view, including the standard report and the scheduled rescan. There is no shadow state to keep in sync between the board and the plugin reports.
Yes. Writebacks go through a WordPress REST endpoint that checks the manage_options capability by default, and you can swap that for a custom capability in the view editor. Users without permission see the board as read-only and cannot drag any cards.
No. The board queries are paginated and indexed on the status column you pick. We tested with link tables of one hundred thousand rows and the initial render stays under 200 ms, with subsequent column scrolls served from a cached page slice that refreshes.
Yes. Create one view per workflow. A daily broken sweep board, a redirect cleanup board, and a warning lane focused on TLS errors can all live side by side, each with its own column set, card field selection, and filter set on the same site.
Yes. SleekView re-reads the table schema on every render, so any new column Broken Link Checker Pro adds appears in the card field picker and in the group-by picker without requiring a view rebuild. The schema is read live every render.
Yes. The view header has an export button that returns the current filter and column state as a CSV, including the kanban column each row belongs to. The export respects any filters you applied in the view editor on the board.
