ClassicPress Plugins Available From azurecurve | Development in 2023: URL Shortener

In this series of articles, I am going to introduce each of the plugins I have developed for ClassicPress, a hard-fork of WordPress, which was originally created to provide an alternative, yet compatible, CMS without the Gutenberg block editor.

The 52nd plugin is URL Shortener.

Create your own fully integrated URL shortener for your posts, pages and custom post types.

Shortcode or function azrcrv_urls_get_custom_shortlink can be called from themes or other plugins to retrieve the custom short URL.

Example shortcode usage:

echo do_shortcode('');

Example function usage:

if (function_exists('azrcrv_urls_get_custom_shortlink')){
	printf(' %s', ''.'Shortlink'.'');
}

Settings page allows options for short URL generation to be configured.

This plugin is multisite compatible; each site will need settings to be configured in the admin dashboard.

Download

The current release of the plugin can be downloaded from GitHub
