 * Sorry for the long delay, Mike! I had to get the site backed up; I also updated
   to WP 5.9.
 * I ran the test you described above, and it didn’t change the URL-Shortify symptom.(
   It did, however, break all the links from other web sites to our pages, of course.)
 * If the json file is OK and changing the permalink structure doesn’t fix the problem,
   what’s the next thing to check?

 * I’m not exactly sure what you mean. Do you mean you want me to change our permalink
   Custom Structure from:
 * /index.php/%post_id%/%postname%/
 * to:
 * /%postname%/
 * and try URL-Shortify again?

 * We use a Custom Structure of:
    /index.php/%post_id%/%postname%/
 * That’s the only setting on Settings > Permalinks

 * The json file seems to be OK. I deleted it and tried again, but I still get the
   404 error page. I added a new “test” link and it appeared in the json file OK,
   but like all the other links it only gives me the 404 error.
 * If the json file appears to be functioning properly, what would be the next thing
   to check?

 * I’m just starting to use Shortify, so I’ve only got three links; none are working,
   neither when I type the short link into my browser nor when I click the little
   arrow icon on the Links page of Shortify. Same symptom in both cases.
 * A list of what things to check, and in what order, would be very helpful. I’m
   sure I can track this down myself, but if you could share a bit of your expertise,
   I’m sure I can track it down more quickly.
 * Thanks!

 * Thank you, Pramod. Using the latest update I was able to successfully authorize
   my FB app.
 * Next I try to use Facebook Publish to send some posts from WP to FB. I will let
   you know if I have any further trouble.
 * Thank you very much for the latest update!

 * Hello, Pramod. I would be interested in trying the beta version, but only if 
   you are actively trying to get it ready for release.
 * I think Facebook Publish is worth saving because it appears to be the only free
   WP to FB publish plugin that lets you stay on the Edit Post page and decide if
   you want to publish this post to FB, and schedule it all without leaving the 
   Edit Post page.
 * If I’m right about that and if I can help you save Facebook Publish, then I’d
   like to help with the beta.
 * Let me know your thoughts on the subject.

 * Thanks very much for implementing my suggestion, Rolf. It makes me feel like 
   I’ve contributed something!

 * AWESOME! This will be very useful to me and to many other people, too.
 * I set it to 90 days, and it knocked the size of the database backup for our three-
   year-old Web site from 54.8 MB down to 20.1 MB. All the revisions for posts older
   than 90 days seem to be gone (the log says 12,557 revisions deleted) but each
   post itself still seems to be there. The whole operation took 13 seconds.
 * That’s certainly not exhaustive testing, but it certainly appears to work.
 * Thanks, Rolf! This is great.

 * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tinymce-custom-button-with-ajax/#post-6084679)
 * With some help from my friends Woody Hayday and Jake Brown, I think I’ve got 
   it working:
 *     ```
       ( function() {
           // This code belongs in /wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/beacon_clean/plugin.js
           tinymce.PluginManager.add( 'fb_test', function( editor, url ) { 
   
               // Add a button
               editor.addButton( 'fb_test_button_key', { 
   
                   text: 'Test Button -',
                   icon: false,
                   onclick: beacon_clean_AJAX
   
       	} ); // editor.addButton
           } ); // pluginManager
       } )(); // containing function
   
       function beacon_clean_AJAX ($) {
   
           jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
               data = {
               	action: 'aad_get_results',
       	    	data_passed: 'Hello World'
               };
               $.post(ajaxurl, data, function (response) {
       			alert('Got this from the server: ' + response);
       		    });
               return false;
           }) // jQuery.ready function
   
       } // beacon_clean_AJAX function
       ```
   
 * On the server, it needs this PHP code:
 *     ```
       // Process whatever AJAX sends us
       function aad_process_ajax() {
       	$data_passed = $_POST['data_passed'];
       	echo $data_passed . ' -- GOT IT!';
       	// After processing AJAX, this PHP function must die
       	wp_die();
       }
       add_action('wp_ajax_aad_get_results', 'aad_process_ajax');
       ```
   
 * Very, very tricky stuff, but it seems to work. I now have proof-of-concept for
   a button in the TinyMCE editor that uses AJAX to send/receive data to/from the
   server when the user clicks the button. Woo-hoo!
