Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about short.io

No. The first time a shortlink is requested for a particular post, WP Short.io will automatically generate one.
WP Short.io will verify the shortlink when it's requested and update as necessary all on its own.
Sure can! Just use our handy dandy shortcode [wpshortcm] and shazam! The shortcode accepts all the same arguments as the_shortlink(). You can also set "post_id" directly if you wish.
(You don't have to include the php comment, but you can if you want.)
