Description
As of WordPress 4.4, the Get Shortlink button is hidden by default. This plugin brings it back. Yay.
Please note that the button does not exist at all in a Block Editor context. It will only show up when using the Classic Editor, for example, when editing a single attachment.
Installation
This plugin requires PHP 7.0.
- Upload the
bring-back-the-get-shortlink-buttonfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory on your web server. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
- Find the Get Shortlink button just where it was before WordPress 4.4.

Works well with version 4.7.2, Thanks
Does what it says on the box, no trouble or complication.
Does what it says perfectly, that’s all you can ask for in a plug-in.
Thanks Thorsten!
Ok, fixing the rating as I was mistaken.
If you have Jetpack it also keeps your short link button.
Sorry to say that not updates are fine in Wordpress …
Short url is one of those things that will be helpful in making a link from another website without having a broken link when the page title changes for Seo reasons or …
With this plugin the short url works again!
Thanks!
