<h3>Usage</h3>
<h3>Global Settings</h3>
<ol>
<li>Go to Custom Link Shortener <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Settings</li>
<li>Customize your Global Base Slug (e.g., <code>link</code>, <code>out</code>, or leave blank)</li>
<li>Set your Alert Email for Click Goals</li>
<li>Toggle default behaviors for Native App Deep Linking and UTM tracking</li>
</ol>
<h3>Creating Short Links</h3>
<ol>

<li>Enter your preferred alias and Destination URL(s)</li>
<li>Optional: Set Click Goals, Expiration Dates, Fallback URLs, or Passwords</li>
<li>Click “Create Short Link”</li>
</ol>
<h3>Viewing Analytics & Dashboard</h3>
<ol>

<li>Generate QR codes, Pause active links, or Export data as CSV directly from the table</li>
</ol>
<h3>Advanced Features</h3>
<h3>Instant QR Codes</h3>
<p>Click the “QR Code” button next to any link in your dashboard to instantly generate a scannable, downloadable QR code. Perfect for bridging offline marketing (flyers, business cards, presentations) directly to your tracked short links.</p>
<h3>Click Goals & Alerts</h3>
<p>Set a target number of clicks for any link. Once that threshold is reached, the plugin will automatically dispatch a notification email to your designated admin address.</p>
<h3>Native App Deep Linking</h3>
<p>When enabled in Settings, the plugin attempts to force links opened inside social media platforms (like TikTok, Instagram, or Pinterest) to break out of the restrictive in-app browser and open in the user’s native browser or native destination app.</p>
<h3>UTM Tracking & Pass-Through</h3>
<p>The plugin automatically catches incoming UTM parameters (<code>utm_source</code>, <code>utm_medium</code>, <code>utm_campaign</code>), logs them into your local WordPress database for easy viewing alongside device data, and seamlessly forwards them to your final destination URL so external tools like Google Analytics (GA4) can still track them.</p>
<h3>REST API Integration</h3>
<p>Manage links headlessly via the WordPress REST API:<br />
– <code>GET /wp-json/wpcs/v1/links</code>: Retrieve all links<br />
– <code>GET /wp-json/wpcs/v1/links/{id}</code>: Retrieve a specific link<br />
– <code>POST /wp-json/wpcs/v1/links</code>: Create a new link (requires authentication)</p>
<h3>URL Rotation & Random Posts</h3>
<ul>
<li>Enter multiple URLs to randomize destinations on every click (A/B Testing)</li>
<li>Use the Random Post feature to route visitors to a random published article on your site</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin uses external services for enhanced functionality:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>ipapi.co</strong> (Location Tracking)</li>
</ol>
<p>– Sends: Visitor’s IP address (only when a link is clicked)<br />
– Terms: https://ipapi.co/terms/<br />
– Privacy: https://ipapi.co/privacy/</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>goqr.me / qrserver.com</strong> (QR Generation)</li>
</ol>
<p>– Sends: The short URL string to generate the image<br />
– Terms: https://goqr.me/api/</p>
<h3>Can I use custom slugs?</h3>
<p>Yes! You can choose any alphanumeric slug. You can also customize the base slug (e.g., change <code>/go/</code> to something else) in the Settings tab.</p>
<h3>Does UTM tracking conflict with Google Analytics?</h3>
<p>No! The UTM Pass-Through feature ensures that GA4 receives the exact same tracking data, while giving you a resilient, server-side backup inside your WordPress dashboard that defeats ad-blockers.</p>
<h3>How do I pause a link?</h3>
<p>Simply toggle the switch in the Analytics overview table. Paused links will immediately stop redirecting traffic and display an inactive message to visitors.</p>
