What’s this all about?
This plugin creates a shortlink (stored in the post meta table) for each post that can be used in sharing buttons, etc.
What is YOURLS?
YOURLS is a self-hosted PHP based application that allows you to make your own custom shortlinks, similar to bit.ly and j.mp. Learn more about it here
How do I use the template tag?
Place the following code in your theme file (usually single.php) <?php yourls_display_box(); ?>
The delete function doesn’t remove the short URL from my YOURLS installation
This is a limitation with the YOURLS API, as there is not a method yet to delete a link. The delete function has been added to the plugin to allow users to get the updated URL that they may have changed in the YOURLS admin panel
