Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about The 9 Dollar URLnip

LITE (free) gives you everything you need: create, edit, delete, export as CSV/TXT, live search, sortable columns, click counting, one-click copy, and bulk delete. PRO adds more: - Bulk import — upload CSV/TXT files with hundreds of links. Duplicate handling is configurable - Reset click counters — individual with bulk reset - Priority support — faster help when you need it Everything else is identical. No hidden paywalls, no crippleware.

No, and that's intentional. Slugs are auto-generated as 5-character alphanumeric strings (like aB3xY). Why? Because letting everyone pick custom slugs leads to: - Slug collisions (someone already took /deal) - People picking terrible, hard-to-type slugs - You spending time thinking about what to name a link With auto-slugs, you just create and go. No decisions, no delays.

Inside a JSON file located at /wp-content/uploads/t9pURLnip/redirects.json. The directory is automatically protected with .htaccess rules that block direct web access. No database tables are created — your wp_options stays clean.

Yes, completely. URLnip stores only: - The target URL - The short slug - An optional description - A click counter (just a number) No personal user data. No IP addresses. No cookies. No tracking. If you use it for your own links (not user-submitted), there's zero GDPR exposure.

Shortlinks stop working immediately — WordPress won't process the redirects anymore. However, your data file remains safe in /wp-content/uploads/t9pURLnip/. Reactivate the plugin, and everything is back exactly as you left it. No data loss, no re-importing.

By default, the JSON data file stays on your server (just in case). If you want to remove everything, you'll need to delete the t9pURLnip folder manually from /wp-content/uploads/. The plugin does not auto-delete your data on uninstall — because that would be rude.

The JSON format is surprisingly robust. You can easily handle 100,000+ shortlinks without any performance issues. If you have more links than that, you're either a massive enterprise or you need a hobby. 😄

Very fast. Here's why: - JSON file is smaller and simpler than a database query - No complex SQL joins or indexes - Direct file read with file_get_contents() - PHP array lookup by slug is O(n) but with 100k entries still takes <50ms on average hosting For comparison: a database query has connection overhead, query parsing, and execution. JSON is just file I/O and a quick array scan.

Yes — but only with PRO. You can upload CSV or TXT files. The plugin validates each row, skips invalid URLs, and shows you exactly what was skipped and why. Example import files are available directly in the plugin admin page.

Yes. Any valid URL works — including affiliate links, long tracking URLs, or ugly ?utm_source=... monstrosities. URLnip makes them pretty.
