Publishpress Shortlinks Pro

PublishPress Shortlinks Pro is an essential URL management and sharing extension designed for editorial teams, digital publishers, content marketers, and social media managers. It automatically creates short, memorable permalinks for any published or scheduled WordPress content—including WooCommerce products and custom post types—using your domain or custom short domain services. Integated directly into the WordPress post editor, Gutenberg block editor, and editorial screens, PublishPress Shortlinks Pro makes copying and distributing shortened URLs to email newsletters, social networks, and affiliate campaigns effortless. It also supports custom link structures, automatic shortlink generation rules, and third-party link shortener integrations (such as Bitly or Rebrandly) while maintaining clean database performance.
