Concerning your questions, I’ve finally found the muse to create some screenshots: 1. I could imagine setting up a mirror of the site for debugging purposes to allow Admin access. 2. I couldn’t create any external links, as the Add new URL Button would submit to a URI ending at `id,%20$_SERVER[" REQUEST_URI"])?>` 3. I suppose automatic link creation is on by default. * The site itself is heavily plugin loaded, thus it could be an interference with other modules. * Screenshots: [https://www.diigo.com/user/almereyda/shorturl](https://www.diigo.com/user/almereyda/shorturl) * What do you think how to proceed? * Thanks in advance, as I like the UI of your plugin more ;), * Jon * [Sed Lex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sedlex/) * (@sedlex) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/external-link-creation-and-admin-ui/#post-4185344) * The point 1 may be useful. * For the point 3, there is a difference between the option “_Do you want to automatically shorten links **in **article?_” which is not activated by default and the default behaviour of the plugin that shorten link **of** the article. * But I believe that according to your screenshots that no shorten links **in ** article is activated. * I definitely do not know the problem. An admin access even in a dev website would be useful. * Did you try to deactivate other plugin to see if there is a conflict ? * [Sed Lex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sedlex/) * (@sedlex) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/external-link-creation-and-admin-ui/#post-4185377) * No update ? * Thread Starter [almereyda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/almereyda/) * (@almereyda) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/external-link-creation-and-admin-ui/#post-4185378) * Hi, I have been thinking about the issue. * The last time I’ve tried it (~ 2 months) the failure persisted. * I will have to check again. * Thanks for following-up, * Jon * [Sed Lex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sedlex/) * (@sedlex) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/external-link-creation-and-admin-ui/#post-4185379) * Actually I believe that the new version is correct … The error was due to the fact that the code indicated `
