Description
This plugin will add new settings to your Settings -> Permalinks screen for you to
specify your blog’s shortlink structure. By default WordPress shortlinks look like
https://yrnxt.com/?p=153. Using this plugin you can specify every other structure
you like, e.g. https://yrnxt.com/~153.
Specifying new shortlink structures will never break WordPress’ default. Also when
changing the shortlink structure again afterwards old structures won’t break until you
explicitly remove them.
Take a look at the screenshots.

Installation
- Visit your WordPress Administration interface and go to Plugins -> Add New
- Search for “Custom Shortlink Structure“, and click “Install Now” below the plugin’s name
- When the installation finished, click “Activate Plugin“
Now visit Settings -> Permalinks and specify your own shortlink structure. Changes here won’t
break WordPress default ?p=%post_id% structure.
FAQ
- When visiting a shortlink defined using the plugin I just get redirected to home?
-
Some other plugins might interfere with redirections. Using WordPress SEO’s Redirect ugly URL’s to clean permalinks setting for example will break this plugin.
- I specified a custom shortlink structure but get a “Not Found” error on load
-
The plugin only works when pretty permalinks are enabled. Under Settings -> Permalinks
specify a permalink structure other then default.
