Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about kURL – Short URL Manager for YOURLS

The “k” stands for kurz, the German word for “short”. So kURL means “short URL”.
You need a self-hosted YOURLS installation with API access enabled and a valid signature token.
Log in to your YOURLS admin area, open Tools, and look for the secure passwordless API call section.
Yes. You can choose which public post types are enabled in kURL → Settings.
Yes. When a kURL short URL is saved for a post, the plugin filters WordPress shortlink output so the saved YOURLS URL can be used as the WordPress shortlink.
Yes. The dashboard includes a manual shortener where you can create or update a short URL for any target URL.
Only if the optional kURL Helper extension is installed on your YOURLS server. Without it, kURL can unlink the short URL locally in WordPress, but it cannot delete the original entry from YOURLS.
Yes. kURL includes migration tools for importing existing Better YOURLS data. Import first, verify a few posts, and only delete the old Better YOURLS data once everything looks correct.
They let you compare WordPress content with YOURLS, import matching short URLs into WordPress, and clean stale local meta data. On larger sites, create a database backup before applying reconciliation changes.
