<ul>
<li>Namespace: <code>Melk\\UrlShortenerByMelk</code>.</li>
<li>Unique prefix: all functions, options, meta keys and hooks use the <code>urlshbym_</code> prefix, following the WordPress Plugin Handbook recommendations to avoid naming collisions.</li>
<li>Options stored in the database:
<ul>
<li><code>urlshbym_enabled_post_types</code></li>
<li><code>urlshbym_enabled_taxonomies</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Meta keys:
<ul>
<li><code>_urlshbym_short_code</code> on posts</li>
<li><code>_urlshbym_short_code</code> on terms (taxonomies)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Database table: <code>{$wpdb->prefix}urlshbym_short_urls</code> is created on activation to store the mapping between short codes and objects.</li>
<li>Main hook:
<ul>
<li><code>urlshbym_short_url_clicked</code> — fired whenever a short URL is accessed, receiving the short code and the internal record ID.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Rewrite rules: short URLs are handled through a rewrite rule that maps patterns like <code>/abc12</code> to <code>index.php?urlshbym_short=abc12</code>.</li>
</ul>

WP-Short.io is the easiest way to generate short links for your WordPress posts. It is a timesaving integration since you don’t need to copy a long link and manually shorten it on Short.io.
Specify an API key (you’ll find it in your Short.io account), identify the post types to create short links for, and forget about it! WP-Short.io automatically shortens URLs for WordPress posts.
After you finish writing a striking post, share it with your friends on social media.
Now, instead of a long URL, a short and automatically generated link is already waiting for you. Just copy and send it!
