<p>Shortlinks allows you to easily retrieve the shortlink for your WordPress posts, pages, categories, post_tags, attachments, custom post types, and custom taxonmies.</p>
<p>By default, WordPress uses links a query string ( ie: http://blog.aizatto.com/?page_id=3565 ) to load up your posts, pages, categories, etc. But when you enable permalinks, the query string is hidden by the WordPress rewrite rules. Having pretty urls is great, but also makes the website less flexible. For example, changing a posts published date will change the URL.</p>
<p>While we can’t control how other people will link to our site, we can control how we link to our internal sites.</p>
<p>By default, with permalinks enabled, when visiting WordPress with a shortlink, WordPress will redirect you to the permalink URL.</p>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>Shortlinks hooks into the WordPress filter <code>get_shortlink</code> to enable shortlinks for all WordPress types.</p>
<p>You can use Shortlinks in your own theme or plugin.</p>
<p>To return the shortlink for a post, page, or custom post type, where $id represents the ID:
  </p>
<p>To return the shortlink for a category, where $id represents the category id:
  </p>
<p>To return the shortlinks for custom taxonomy, where $id represents the term id, and $taxonomy represents the custom taxonomy:
  </p>
<h3>Why I Created It</h3>
<p>WordPress supports shortlinks by default, but only allows the user to get the shortlink for a post. Finding it unacceptable, I created a plugin to get shortlinks for all content types.</p>

<p>Shortlinks By Path hooks into the WordPress filter <code>get_shortlink</code> to only return the path for a shortlink. This makes it easier to retrieve the shortlink url with an absolute path minus the domain name.</p>
<p>By default WordPress returns the full path to your post when clicking “Get Shortlink”. Shortlinks By Path returns only the path. For example, by default WordPress would return <code>http://blog.aizatto.com/?p=3565</code> , with Shortlinks By Path enabled WordPress returns <code>/?p=3565</code> .</p>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>Shortlinks By Path hooks into the WordPress filter <code>get_shortlink</code> to only return the path for a shortlink.</p>
<h3>Why I Created It</h3>
<p>I needed WordPress to return the path for a given post because it was easier to migrate WordPress installations across different domains, as there would be no broken internal links. For example, migrating from a development internal site, to a production live site.</p>
