WP Bitly removes Jetpack's "Get Shortlink" on draft

WP Bitly deactivates Jetpack so that the two don’t compete; it’s assumed that if you install WP Bitly side by side with Jetpack it’s intended to be the priority shortlink generator (as it does nothing else).

You could experiment with editing the array of allowed post types. If you open /wp-bitly/includes/functions.php and go to line 111, you’ll see:

if (!in_array(get_post_type($post_id), $wpbitly->get_option('post_types')) ||
        !in_array(get_post_status($post_id), array('publish', 'future', 'private')))
        return;

Change it to the following:

if (!in_array(get_post_type($post_id), $wpbitly->get_option('post_types')) ||
        !in_array(get_post_status($post_id), array('publish', 'draft', 'future', 'private')))
        return;

If that does what you want, I’ll add a filter to the code so you can modify the list of allowed post status’ from your themes functions.php instead of editing the plugin directly.

Thanks for the fast reply, Mark!

I made that change and it works perfectly ??

There’s a wpbitly_allowed_post_status filter in the development branch that will be available for use in the next release. I’ll post back here with instructions on how to use it when I ship the next version, and until then I’m going to sticky this as a reminder for myself.

Thanks fantastic. I really appreciate that you’re continuing to make/keep this plugin great. Thanks so much, and I’ll be on the look out for the update.
