Description
Short URL allows you to create shorter links from long winding ones and can also keep track of how many times a link has been clicked. It’s useful for managing downloads, keeping track of outbound links and for masking URL’s. Clicking the Clear All Clicks button will reset the count for each entry.
Support
You may obtain support for this plugin from the support centre.
Advanced configuration: Custom variables
You may pass a custom variable into the plugin by including $2 in the Link URL setting.
For example:
I want a short URL that goes to our plugin pages but I don’t want to create a seperate short URL for every single page I’ve created. So I could set-up the plugin as below.
Settings
Htaccess links: ON
Link URL: u/$1/$2
Then I’d add a link like this: http://www.craftycoding.com/products/wordpress-plugins/$2.
The ShortURL would be: http://www.craftycoding.com/u/1/$2
The ShortURL would match:
http://www.craftycoding.com/u/1/short-url-plugin => http://www.craftycoding.com/products/wordpress-plugins/
http://www.craftycoding.com/u/1/short-url-plugin => http://www.craftycoding.com/products/wordpress-plugins/short-url-plugin
http://www.craftycoding.com/u/1/interlinks => http://www.craftycoding.com/products/wordpress-plugins/interlinks
Pagination
When links exceed a certain amount the results are paginated.
Nice links
The links can be customised using .htaccess. You may also customise the style of the link from the settings page.
