Using short URLs with Strattic

Tutorial on setting up the Shorten URL plugin

A shortened URL takes up less space, is more memorable, and keeps your text tidy.

Eg:

https://www.domainname.com/pages/ourteam/janedoe/ 
to
https://www.domainname.com/juyft

Most short URL plugins for posts should work in Strattic, so long as they hook into the WordPress short URL API and donโ€™t rely on query variables.

In this document, we will look at setting up the Shorten URL plugin.

Step 1:

Install Shorten URL and activate the plugin. After installation, the plugin will automatically generate Short URLs for all your pages.

Please leave default domain as-is in the Shorten URL settings. Both these settings should be disabled/unchecked:

Step 2:

To review the generated short URLs or to change the plugin settings go to SL PLUGINS > SHORT URL from your left-hand menu.

Step 3:

In your Strattic settings (Strattic > Settings > Advanced), the checkbox next to “Shortlinks” should be checked/enabled

Step 4:

Since you’ve just installed the plugin, you’ll need to do a Full Publish on your site first, but any time after that if you’re just adding a new page or post a Quick Publish will suffice.
