Fixed it. The title tag wasn’t showing for some reason after the update, so I re-installed the plugin and now it works fine.

Any fix yet?

Please let me know when the issues is resolved so I can start using the plugin again ?? Thanks

LovePS – Try this: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/how-to-clear-bitly-links?replies=2#post-6729675

Just use this:

<?php echo wp_get_shortlink(); ?>

Looks like the site is in maintenance so I can’t take a look. Sounds like you will need to edit your sharing options php to use the wp bitly code. Post back here and I can help you out.

Hi Jennifer, I get what you are saying now.

I can’t say 100% for sure if it will recognise current bitly links, I have used this plugin from the beginning. The only way to know for sure is to try it out.

You may want to think about long term though if it does create new bitly links. This plugin is great and easy enough to implement it into your site how you want, so it would be better to get it all setup now before your site gets even bigger ??

I checked some of the posts and I can’t see which ones are already using shortlinks. All the social sharing options use the full URL.

I’m pretty sure you can try 1 of these 2 things:

1. Go to Settings > Permalinks and just hit Save changes.
2. Go to each post individually that uses the old tdod.ca domain and hit update.

The shortlink is automatically generated by Bitly.com – You can however login to your Bitly account and customise the shortlink manually. Just remember that the shortlink cannot be the same as any other shortlink in Bitly’s database. Finding a unique one is not too easy nowadays, so I tend to just leave it auto generated (plus it’s a lot faster)

The plugin turns your default wordpress post/pages shortlinks into bitly shortlinks.

If you go to edit a post in the admin you will see the option for a shortlink just below the title. If you want to turn a link inside a post into a shortlink then just login to bitly and add the link there.

Fixed it.

I did try using the standard WP shortlink function as well as the plugin shortlink code (see first post) but that wasn’t working either. I decided to have another look at it today and notice I forgot something in the code (duh!) I missed the “echo” to call the function.

This works:
<?php echo wp_get_shortlink(); ?>

Bump.

Yes I know that.

I am talking about the shortlink code provided with the plugin. It is at the bottom of the FAQ.

When adding the shortlink using the php code, it doesn’t display a shortlink.

Any support here?
