Shortlink & File URL Column

Description

If you like working with shortlinks, then this plugin is for you!

  • Creates an extra column displaying shortlinks in the main post, page, categories and media list screens; for the media list screen it also adds the file URL info.
  • Adds an optional button next to each shortlink. When this button is clicked the shortlink is automatically copied to the clipboard.
  • Adds an inner post/page shortlink button, just as it was for WordPress versions earlier then 4.4.
  • Works for built in and custom post types and taxonomies.
  • Provides settings page to customise basic appearance/functionality features.

Unless you have Javascript disabled, the auto-copy function is supported by all major browsers, apart from Safari, which does not support the execCommand copy function of Javascript.

This is a very quick way to get the shortlinks, easier than the standard wordpress button in the post. Thanks!
