Shortlink & File URL Column Plugin
Adds a shortlink column in post/page, taxonomy and media manage screens. Also retrieves inner post shortlink button as for WP earlier than 4.4.
If you like working with shortlinks, then this plugin is for you!
- Creates an extra column displaying shortlinks in the main post, page, categories and media list screens; for the media list screen it also adds the file URL info.
- Adds an optional button next to each shortlink. When this button is clicked the shortlink is automatically copied to the clipboard.
- Adds an inner post/page shortlink button, just as it was for WordPress versions earlier then 4.4.
- Works for built in and custom post types and taxonomies.
- Provides settings page to customise basic appearance/functionality features.
Unless you have Javascript disabled, the auto-copy function is supported by all major browsers, apart from Safari, which does not support the execCommand copy function of Javascript.
