Description
This plugin integrates multiple URL Shortening service with your WordPress.org installation bringing a similar functionality to that of WordPress.com's WP.me shortlinks feature but using 3rd party URL Shorteners.
The Short URL generated during post/page publishing is cache and thus generated only once. Furthermore, as it uses the post ID to generate, changing the site permalinks will not break the Short URL.
You can also create your own short url using the WordPress Post ID (for eg: http://yoursite/POST-ID ). It provides two method of redirection, namely, wp_rewrite redirect and template_redirection (template redirect).
To show the generated links in your template just include this function within the loop:
<?php fts_show_shorturl($post); ?>
As of Version 1.5, I've added an on-demand shortening function for use in the templates:
<?php fts_shorturl('http://www.google.com', 'supr'); ?>
- Latest: Version 2.0 now supports bulk editing and generation of Short URLs
Currently supported services:
- tinyurl
- is.gd
- su.pr
- bit.ly
- tr.im
- short.ie
- snipurl (aka Snurl / Snipr / Sn.im)
- cl.gs
- short.to
- ping.fm
- chilp.it
- smsh (aka sm00sh)
- u.nu

Addon Module
Version 1.7 allows the inclusion of a addon module which provides bonus services and beta services which are not available in the main URL Shortener Plugin.
URL Shortening Services or other functions included in this addon are mostly undergoing testing and may be moved to the main URL Shortener Plugin at a later date. The main purpose of this addon module is enable interested users to test out services which are not yet fully supported.

Notes
- About WP.me Shortlinks: Currently WP.me has been made available to self-hosted WordPress via the WordPress.com stats plugin. Once a public API has been released, I will integrate the WP.me service to this plugin as well.
