Important Update

We have built a new plugin URL Shortify and encourage everyone to migrate to this plugin. As we will not maintain this plugin further and all the active development will take place on URL Shortify.

We have already added import process in URL Shortify using which you can easily import all your short links from this plugin to URL Shortify in one click.

Your article (including custom type) may have a short url hosted by your own domain.

Replace the internal function of wordpress wp_get_shortlink() by a bit.ly like url.

Instead of having a short link like http://www.yourdomain.com/?p=3564, your short link will be http://www.yourdomain.com/NgH5z (for instance).

You can configure:

  • the length of the short link,
  • if the link is prefixed with a static word,
  • the characters used for the short link.

Moreover, you can manage external links with this plugin. The links in your posts will be automatically replace by the short one if available.

This plugin is under GPL licence.

Multisite – WordPress MU

This plugin is compatible with multisite installation. Each blog may manage their own list of links.

Features of the framework

This plugin uses the SL framework. This framework eases the creation of new plugins by providing tools and frames (see dev-toolbox plugin for more info).

You may easily translate the text of the plugin and submit it to the developer, send a feedback, or choose the location of the plugin in the admin panel.

Have fun !
