Hello, is there a way to export links in a csv or excel file?

Hi I was using this plugin for time ago but now I having this error when try to add a new link:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function show_navigation() on null in /home/abogados/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mts-url-shortener/admin/views/url-shortener-edit.php:35 Stack trace: #0 /home/abogados/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mts-url-shortener/admin/class-url-shortener-admin.php(537): include_once() #1 /home/abogados/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(308): MTS_URL_Shortener_Admin->link_edit_page_content(”) #2 /home/abogados/public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(332): WP_Hook->apply_filters(”, Array) #3 /home/abogados/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(517): WP_Hook->do_action(Array) #4 /home/abogados/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php(259): do_action(‘enlaces-cortos_…’) #5 {main} thrown in?/home/abogados/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mts-url-shortener/admin/views/url-shortener-edit.php?on line?35

Hello,

Wordfence recently sent an email stating URL Shortener?had a security vulnerability. I’m wondering if the developers are working to fix the glitch?

https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/wordpress-plugins/mts-url-shortener/url-shortener-by-mythemeshop-1016-missing-authorization

Thank you!

I installed the plugin and was using it for a while, but it crashed the website. I had to rename the plugin to regain access, which worked immediately. I use Elementor Pro and Kadence Theme. Any suggested steps I can take to see what the compatibility issue is?

I just installed your plugin to find out it is totally useless unless the only links I want to shorten are future links and I am willing to manually create them using a form in the admin area. To be useful please update your plugins so that it can scan all existing posts for external links and shorten them automatically.

one of the good feature in the plugin is click stats, but we do not need this for every link, and for the sake of saving db space, sometimes we want to disable or clear the stats (to 0) for links, but there is no way for that.
could you make the clicks count optional? and an option for the reset link click count please?

If I add: my-new-page
This works: https://www.mydomain.org/my-new-page
This does not: https://www.mydomain.org/my-new-page/

WordPress uses the training slash, and so should the plugin.

Good afternoon,

our indexing site allows users to create their own mini profile page – however the url is quite ugly i.e.:

mainsite.com/subsite/listing/company-name/

could we have it so as soon as a page is created it makes a url such as:

mainsite.com/company-name

Thank you for your time,
Jason

Hi,

Product detail said the plugin has “Hooks for Developers”, what are the hooks? are there have documents?

thank you
hqin

On the “Short Links” page, when looking at the list of links, there is the “Clicks” column, that shows how many times a shortlink has been used.

I cannot figure out how to clear/reset that to ‘0’ (other than going into MySQL to do it.) Am I missing something?

I see this plugin throws a big error while activating on WordPress latest version with php 8.
It would be nice if plugin developer would be really serious about updating this plugin to make it compatible.
Also, if I look over the development section, no any serious update done in the past few years. It reflects that developer just wanna keep this plugin alive on WordPress without working for it!

Hi there,

I thought I wrote you before, but I don’t think I did.

I have some links from a video platform that put the apostrophe in the URL when the title has the word “can’t” in it or something.

I’ve tried to remember to remove it, but sometimes I forgot & your plugin doesn’t work when there’s an apostrophe in there.

Can you please fix it. It’s caused all sorts of problems b/c I put the link on videos & I can’t change the video URL so it works.

It says page not found. Here’s an example –

https://ourfreesociety.com/Cant-Catch-Virus

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for this plugin, looks interesting …

Will this work in a Wp’s custom field?

I post to twitter and the url is long and ugly (affiliate link), so I’m looking to see how I can set a shortner to replace such on posting.

But I do not want to replace urls in my posts (learned a hard lesson not to do that with the thirstyaffiliates plugin)

Many Thanks ??

Thank you for the great plugin.
However, when I specify a Japanese word as Replace Keyword in Replacements, it is not converted.
I checked the code and found that

class-url-shortener-public.php

$pattern = '#(?! <. *?) (\b'.preg_quote($keyword).' \b)(?! [^<>]*? >)#si';

If this \b is present, the Japanese will not match. If remove it, it will match.　I modified the code as follows and it is working fine.

if ( strlen( $keyword ) != mb_strlen( $keyword, 'utf8' ) ) {
	// have multibyte language
	$pattern = '#(?!<.*?)(' . preg_quote( $keyword ) . ')(?![^<>]*?>)#si';
} else {
	// have not multibyte language
	$pattern = '#(?!<.*?)(\b' . preg_quote( $keyword ) . '\b)(?![^<>]*?>)#si';
}

Thanks.

Hello

I am trying to check how the plugin is working, for that, I enabled MySQL logs. I see that the plugin is search for almost all received URLs to check whether they are short links or not. To do that, it searches in the DB in the table wp_short_links. Example
SELECT * FROM wp_short_links WHERE link_name = ‘n/4956’ << Real short link
SELECT * FROM wp_short_links WHERE link_name = ‘wp-content/uploads/2020/10/9102020pm-v-3.jpg’ <<< Not a short link

I see that the table wp_short_links has no index on the column link_name
The plugin has no cache, it always searches for the link even if it has searched for it before.

Do you believe that could impact the performance of my website if I have around 10-20 concurrent users?

Hello

We have install your plugin and it is working fine however we want to know if is possible that the shortlink works without https, right now if we remove this and we use just everson.org/talkseries take us to 404 page.

thannks for your help

Hello, love this plugin, but we are hitting a wall as after some digging and confirmed by OptimizePress developers, the URL Shortner, breaks the OptimizePress 3 Global Elements editor in as much as it prevents the editor from loading.
Deactivating URL Shortner resolves the issue and allows the global editor to load as expected.
However, whereas flipping plugins on/off/on is less than ideal, is it possible for the plugin to be written in such a manner so as not to conflict with OptimizePress 3.0s built-in overrides?

Is there a way to set the link to expire after a set time?

Looks like issues with WP5.6 as I can no longer add a redirect after upgrading.

On the add screen, the add redirect box is missing. You can still add a keyword link though.

Guessing it’s the jquery changes with 5.6

Hello,

I use this plugin for example to share short urls to redirect to very long url like google form ones. My website is in https, I have avada theme, wordfence, iThemeSecurity, Redirection plugin, and some more.

So When I create for example mydomain.tld/form, when I just type mydomain.tld/form it redirects to mydomain.tld/ (my website home page)

For the url to work properly I have to literally write the entire url : https://www.mydomain.tld/form which is counter intuitive.

Can someone help me plz ?

Hello,

I am looking for a plugin that would allow me to give me a shortened url for each post?
For instance, if my main domaine is : thisismydomain.com and that I bought timd.com, the plugin would give allow me to get the shortened post url while writing it

Is that something that this plugin offers?

Can create automatically shortlink when insert any external link in any post?

If No. you can work on this feedback.

Q2: Can different author create shortlink and view their own link stats?

Thanks.

When opening https://site_url/wp-admin/admin.php?page=url_shortener_add
I’m getting the following error:

Mixed Content: The page at 'site_link' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure stylesheet 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/themes/base/jquery-ui.css?ver=5.5'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

I’ve enabled mixed content and the error is gone but I still get two other errors:

Uncaught ReferenceError: wp is not defined at load-scripts.php

and

Uncaught TypeError: $(...).wpColorPicker is not a function

It was working before I updated to WP 5.5, anyone else experiencing this error?

The auto link feature is breaking the blurb module in Divi

hi there,

i am currently using your pro version.

May i know if there are any templates that i can refer to bulk import shortlinks into the plugin?

i have no development background and need assistance.

It would be great if i could upload using CSV.

Thank you.

Hello,

Happy New Year 2020! Wishing you health, happiness and good luck. I’ve been using the plugin to shorten links for quite some time. I’m very pleased with him. Since the last WordPress update, I can’t add magnet links to my posts. I tried to shorten them with a plugin but failed. Can I have a bit more information on how to shorten magnet link with a plugin? Thank you in advance for your time!

If you register as an ordinary user to write comments, the userprofile shows
“Advanced Stats, Cloaking, 3 new Redirection Methods and much more – Upgrade to URL Shortener Pro”

No, I don’t want to upgrade to a PRO version of a tool that creates a security issue, by explaining every idiot on the planet which plugins I have installed and confuses my users with messages in languages they probably don’t understand.

May I ask to spam only the Administrator or Authors with your begging for buy, please?

I’m looking for a shortener that I can use a second domain with.
For example, if my website’s URL is https://www.DingbatsGreatWidgets.com
and I also own https://www.DGW.com
Is there an option to create short links using the alternative https://www.DGW.com domain?

Thanks!
