FAQ

How to get the short link of a post?

Use the get_wbitly_short_url() function in your theme or plugin:

$link = get_wbitly_short_url($post_id); // Returns short URL or false

If no post ID is provided, it will use the current post in the loop:

$link = get_wbitly_short_url(); // Uses current post

How to use the Gutenberg block?

  1. In the block editor, search for “Bitly Share Icons” block
  2. Add the block to your post or page
  3. Customize which social icons to display (Facebook, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, Telegram, WhatsApp)
  4. Adjust icon size and styling as needed

How to generate short links via WP-CLI?

The plugin includes WP-CLI support. Use the following commands:

wp wbitly generate --all - Generate shortlinks for all published posts
wp wbitly generate --ids=1,2,3 - Generate for specific post IDs
wp wbitly generate --first=10 - Generate for first 10 posts
wp wbitly generate --all --post_type=page - Generate for all pages

How to use the REST API?

The plugin provides REST API endpoints:

  • POST /wp-json/wbitly/v1/generate/{post_id} – Generate short URL for a post
  • GET /wp-json/wbitly/v1/meta/{post_id} – Get existing short URL for a post

Both endpoints require authentication and appropriate permissions. You need to:
* Be logged in as a user with edit_posts capability
* Include a valid WordPress nonce in the request header (X-WP-Nonce)

I installed this plugin in every blog, without this plugin I don’t know how can I save my time. Thanks, developer.

Great plugin, and great communication with the developer

27 de Setembro, 2020
The Plugin is extremely useful for us as a media company, and works as expected and needed. Initially, the functionality for custom post types wasn’t there so I reached out to the developer to see if they had any plans to introduce this in the future. To my surprise, I received an email from the developer today saying they were looking into it – and a short while later, there was an update available with the functionality added! Great service! 100% recommend for your shortlink needs!

Great plugin
