Allow blank link prefix

  • Hi. I’m testing various URL shortener plugins. Most are bloated and filled with ad notifications.

    I like Easy Affiliate Links better. It is not as pushy (but includes/admin/class-eafl-marketing.php doesn’t make me happy) and is affordable.

    However, the client requires no link prefix. (I know this can cause link conflicts.) If I set a blank shortlink slug in the settings it automatically uses foo.com/easy_affiliate_link/slug.

    Is it possible to use a blank prefix?

    It is the only thing keeping me from using this plugin. Otherwise I’ll have to use BetterLinks or similar and write a function to silence the constant ads, upsells, and forced unusable PRO-only sidebar panels.

    We don’t have that option built into EAFL at the moment, since it can indeed lead to some unexpected link conflicts. In combination with a plugin like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/permalink-manager/ you should be able to set it up the way you want though.

    And yes, we do a little bit of marketing for the Premium plugin. If no one was purchasing that, the free version wouldn’t be able to stay around and supported either.

    I try to keep things unobtrusive though. We add a dismissible banner when we’re having a sale (so that you’re aware of the discount) but limit that banner to our own section of the admin area only.
