@pepe the YOURLS API returns the link, whether it’s a new one or existing. the request from the plugin itself is the same. however, I am seeing that YOURS treats a URL with a trailing slash and without a trailing slash as separate links, so that would be why it’s returning a new one.
I am working on a bulk sync option now that should allow you to get the links imported into WP all at once, but there’s not a way to have YOURLS treat both links (with or without a slash) as the same.

I’m using Yoast’s SEO plugin with the option to add a slash to all URLs checked. So yes, all my URLs do include the slash (also on the Edit Post script, the slug is shown with the slash at the end). I haven’t looked at your code, but could it be that you are explicitely stripping that trailing slash?

OK, so you are stripping the slash because the second parameter to YOURLSCreator_Helper::prepare_api_link is always left at the default, true. I suggest that you either add an option or at least a filter for that. In addition, you could also check for the Yoast option directly – I think the plugin is widespread enough to justify such a “special case” handling.
I also use Yoast however i dont think this is my problem.
503 means out of action, however i can login into yourls admin just fine and generate links.
Will check my Yoast settings also
@pepe the previous versions (pre 2.0) did not consistently have the slash included, which is why I set it this way in 2.0.4. So prior to last night’s update, the links would have been sent with a slash. I can add a filter (which is what I’m doing now).
@rikk03 – please stop commenting on other threads that are unrelated to your problem.
@pepe I’ve added the filter and changed the default to be false on stripping the URL. I’ve also got the bulk import which should handle old items.

Thank you. I’ve identified another problem regarding canonical URLs (SSL vs non-SSL), but I’ll post a separate issue for that.
