Add Ability to Create Custom Shortened Links

Open davidbitton opened this issue 5 years ago • 5 comments

I'd like to be able to create a custom link when using Rebrandly. So, instead of mbp.io/Hnjsljdlj it can be mbp.io/edits w/o having to go to Rebrandly to change it.

Dear @davidbitton which version plugin you use? Custom domains already supported (v1.8.1), all you need to use your own Rebrandly API key, add a custom domain to rebrandly, setup DNS, and final step add a custom domain to Advanced settings of the plugin.

Let me know if you still have issue.

I'm talking about the shortened link being custom, not the domain.

@davidbitton 🤔 looks like Rebrandly API accept it, will take a look in next release

In looking at the way the Rebrandly chrome extension works, there are suggested slugs too. I have been using the WP page slug as the short url. So, for page "https://megbittonlive.com/course/xxyyzz/" became "http://mbp.io/xxyyzz". This seems easy to do.

@davidbitton sounds like idea for absolutly new plugin ;) BCS all you looking for to have a shorl links for your pages, without any UTM params, actualy with bit.ly dashboard or rebrandly dashboard you not need have UTM params, becoase they already track all your short links
