 * Hi,
 * I am forcing SSL on all the links on my domain and I was wondering if it is possible
   for the links created by this plugin. When I create them, it is http and not 
   https. I was wondering if I can force an https on the created shortlinks also.
   I would appreciate any help on this.

 * Also, does it mess up with the redirect if I manually add https:// to the shortlink
   when I add that in my content ?

 * Hi [@gynecoma](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gynecoma/),
 * Is the URL in your Settings->General page also https? If not, change those to
   https if you’re using it across the whole site and it should return the https
   version when inserting links into content.
 * We use the get_permalinks function that WordPress provides and WP actually handles
   the creation of the URLs via the custom post type so it’s not something we directly
   control.
 * HTTPS is just a protocol so it shouldn’t mess anything up.
 * Cheers,
    Josh
