Description

Linkylinkerton adds a column to the table view of all post types that displays slug links that will work for this specific post including ID link and any old slugs.
Why? I ran into situations where I posted stuff and submitted it to facebook and during submission found an error. Once the error was corrected on FB I found they had cached the URL so I needed to provide a new one to update.
You can probably think of better ways to use this though.

Standard installation instructions. Y’know…use the repository.

  1. Here's a Screenshot of how LinkyLinkerton adds a new column to your posts view.  If you create multiple titles you will have multiple links listed.

I wrote this...and I find it useful. It seems that many places cache URL content (oembeddy stuff) (well...facebook does). And when I post to FB I always find an error in the excerpt they use
But...when I fix it and reuse the URL, FB wants to use the previous excerpt that it cached. How to fix? how about just giving facebook an alternative slug...because I probably played with 4 titles first anyway...and even if I didn't I can use the post ID.

If you do something actually useful with this...I'd be curious to hear about it.
