## Description

[YOURLS](http://yourls.org/) is a free URL shortener service you can run on your
webhost to have your own personal Bitly.

This plugin is a bridge between [YOURLS](http://yourls.org/) and your blog: when
you’ll submit a new post or page, your blog will tap into YOURLS to generate a short
URL for it.

This plugin also features BuddyPress support. Short URLs can be generated automatically
for each member and each group, and are customizable if permitted by the BuddyPress
administrator.

Requires PHP 5.

_Note_: this plugin should still work but is no longer maintained. See http://yourls.
org/#More#wordpress
