A simple, one-click way for visitors to report broken links directly from your posts.
Kreativ Report Broken Link adds a simple “Report broken links on this page” button to your selected post types. When a visitor clicks it, a report is saved in your dashboard so you can fix broken URLs faster. The report button is added automatically — no shortcodes or configuration required.
Key features
* One-click reporting (no forms)
* Admin dashboard list with status actions (Resolve / Ignore / Reopen)
* Filters + pagination
* CSV export (AJAX, no page reload)
* Duplicate protection (1 report per post per IP per 24h)
* Optional email notifications

Does this plugin slow down my site?
No. Unlike other broken link tools, this plugin does not crawl your site. It only loads a tiny script and a button, making it one of the most lightweight maintenance tools available.
Can I customize the button style?
Yes! The button uses the ‘.krbl-report-btn’ class. You can easily override the colors and fonts in your theme’s CSS or the Customizer.
Where are the reports saved?
Reports are saved in a custom table in your WordPress database and are accessible via the “Kreativ Broken Links” menu in your admin dashboard.
Does this plugin use a shortcode?
No. The “Report Broken Link” button is automatically added to supported post types, so no shortcode or manual placement is required.
Can I choose where the button appears?
The button is automatically displayed on enabled post types. Additional placement options may be considered in future versions.
Which post types are supported?
Posts and pages are supported. You can enable or disable them from the plugin settings.
Does this plugin automatically scan for broken links?
No. This plugin allows visitors to report broken links they encounter. It does not perform automatic site-wide link scanning.
Will visitors see admin-only data?
No. Visitors can only submit reports. All management actions are available only in the WordPress admin dashboard.
Is the plugin open source?
Yes. The plugin is open source and maintained on GitHub:
