WP-Short.io is the easiest way to generate short links for your WordPress posts. It is a timesaving integration since you don't need to copy a long link and manually shorten it on Short.io.<\/p>\n\n

Specify an API key (you'll find it in your Short.io account), identify the post types to create short links for, and forget about it! WP-Short.io automatically shortens URLs for WordPress posts.<\/p>\n\n

After you finish writing a striking post, share it with your friends on social media.<\/p>\n\n

Now, instead of a long URL, a short and automatically generated link is already waiting for you. Just copy and send it!<\/p>\n\n

Feature Requests are welcome via https:\/\/feedback.short.cm\/<\/p>\n\n\n

Add New Plugin<\/h4>\n\n
    \n

  1. From the WordPress Dashboard, opt for Plugins > Add.<\/p><\/li>\n

  2. Search for WP-Short.io in the search bar.<\/p><\/li>\n

  3. Select Install > OK > Activate Plugin.<\/p><\/li>\n

  4. This will return you to the WordPress Plugins page. Find WP-Short.io in the list and click Settings to configure.<\/p><\/li>\n

  5. Enter your API key. For this, go to your Short.io account, choose \"Integrations & API\" and copy the API key!<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    \n

    After installation, do I need to update all my posts for short links to be created?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    No. The first time a shortlink is requested for a particular post, WP Short.io will automatically generate one.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What happens if I change a posts permalink?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    WP Short.io will verify the shortlink when it's requested and update as necessary all on its own.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Can I include the shortlink directly in a post?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Sure can! Just use our handy dandy shortcode [wpshortcm]<\/code> and shazam! The shortcode accepts all the same arguments as the_shortlink(). You can also set \"post_id\" directly if you wish.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    How do I include a shortlink using PHP?<\/h3><\/dt>\n
    \n\n

    (You don't have to include the php comment, but you can if you want.)<\/em><\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
