there isn’t a shortcode display, but there is a function to output the URL anywhere you want. if you call get_yourls_shortlink with the post ID, it will return the shortlink if one exists. you can pass a second parameter of true and it will echo out instead of returning. does that help?

no problem at all. and yeah, YOURLS needs to be it’s own install, since it’s on a separate URL and has it’s own database and logins and whatnot.

By default, the plugin only recognizes posts and pages. There is a filter cun_content_types to modify that. Example below.

function rkv_add_cun_type( $types ) {

	// Check for the post type, then add it.
	if ( ! in_array( 'your-post-type', $types ) ) {
		$types[] = 'your-post-type';
	}

	// Return the post type array.
	return $types;
}

add_filter( 'cun_content_types', 'rkv_add_cun_type' );

the plugin isn’t built to store multiple links, or links for external sites. you would need to create the links in YOURLS directly and enter it into your custom field.

fantastic! in the admin.php file of the plugin, there is an action called yourls_after_url_save which passes the post ID and the newly generated short URL. That should cover all your use cases for using the shortlink and passing it to whatever other functions you’ve got.

That is my understanding, yes

If you network activate it, it will be on every site.
