That’s great! Thanks, Jeremy. So I just add in my old permalink structure, like so?
function jp_sd_custshortlink_enable(http://moviefail.com/2014/10/01/sample-post/)
I guess I’m not sure what to do from there. I’m definitely a PHP novice!
Thanks! It turns out I had that plugin installed already. Now that it’s activated, how can I create a filter to affect old and new posts?
Thanks for the reply, Jeremy! It seems like this solution only works to prevent loss of social counts in the future? It doesn’t work retroactively to restore older links, in other words.
Also, some sites (Reddit most especially) won’t take shortlink submissions of any kind, so this solution is also limited in that regard.
