Description

Changes the Short URL and the Twitter Tools URL for each post on your site using a custom, shortened domain and a base-36 encode of the post ID.

  1. Buy a short domain
  2. Upload jb-shortener.php to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  4. Update the “Short URL” in Options->General

If you’re running a multisite configuration, copy sunrise.php to the wp-content folder and set define('SUNRISE', 'on'); in wp-config.php.

Why would I want this Plugin?

You can use a custom, shorter url for the short urls in WordPress and with Twitter Tools.

Does it work with Multisite enabled?

Yes, but you have to copy the sunrise.php file into the wp_content folder.
