 * My tweet this plugin is not using the shortlink for the post even though I have
   the “use shortlink” option checked. I’ve discovered that it’s a conflict with
   a shortlink plugin I’m using [https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortnit/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortnit/)
 * I want to be able to use both plugins.
 * What happens when I have the shortnit plugin activated is that your plugin uses
   my entire post URL, even though I have your “use shortlinks” option checked.
 * When I deactivate the shortnit plugin, your plugin will use the default wp shortlink.

 * Hello,
 * Shortn.It seems to handle shortlinks differently than most other plugins, however,
   its developer has made it easy to make it work too.
 * I have finished an update which will integrate Tweet This with Shortn.It and 
   allow it to detect and use its shortlinks. I need to finish up error and bug 
   checking, then push out the release. The update should be available within the
   next few hours.
 * An important note about how this plugin will integrate with Shortn.It:
 * Tweet This’ shortcode creator dialog box will use a placeholder shortlink until
   a post gets its first “Save Draft” or publishing. This is because Shortn.It doesn’t
   generate its final shortlink until after a post is saved/published for the first
   time. This is purely cosmetic within the shortcode creator. The final post will
   have the correct URL.
 * This happens with many shortlink plugins, but most will generate a warning in
   the shortcode creator. The different shortlink extraction method doesn’t facilitate
   detecting placeholders the same way however.
 * If I find a way to make the warning show appropriately, I will implement it. 
   But, as I said, its purely a cosmetic issue.

 * Wonderful! Works like a charm. I appreciate you addressing this so quickly. I’m
   very impressed!
