This plugin is a work in progress; development is ongoing.

A WordPress dashboard interface for managing a self-hosted Shlink URL shortener instance.

  • Create and edit Shlinks short links from a manager interface
  • Optionally generate new short URLs upon saving new posts
  • Manage multiple short URL domains, with an assigned default
  • Automatically tag each short link, configurable with a filter hook
  • Customize long URLs automatically using a filter hook (e.g., to add query arguments)
  • Integrates with WordPress Sentry plugin, if installed

Filter hooks

  • smol_links_tags – assigns tags to each saved short link (default: ["smol-links-server:$hostname", "smol-links-user:$username"])
  • smol_links_long_url – automatically adjust the long URL redirect
