## Beschrijving

Love WordPress? Love Bitly? After installing this plugin, you’ll be able to shorten
a link and view clicks right from WordPress. Your new links will be saved to Bitly
for reference and deeper analysis.

_To do that, you must have a Bitly account to use the plugin. Your account is where
you store, edit, and view metrics for your links. Register at bitly.com._

No matter the type of site you own (from a personal blog to an ecommerce store and
everything in between) Bitly makes it easy to create shorter links and keep an eye
on your clicks. Whether you share your links on social, SMS, or email, a short link
is easier to manage and remember.

## Installatie

Installing the plugin

You must have a Bitly account to connect to. You can create one at bitly.com. Your
account is where you store, edit, and view metrics for your links.
 If you’re familiar
with adding a plugin to WordPress directly, you can download the ZIP file and upload
it to /wp-content/plugins/ after step 2. Otherwise, follow these steps: 1. Go to
your WordPress plugins settings. 2. Click Add New. 3. Search for Bitly’s WordPress
Plugin. 4. Click Install Now. 5. Click Activate. 6. Scroll down the list of your
installed plugins, find Bitly, and click Settings. 7. Now you’ll connect the plugin
to your Bitly account. Scroll down to Bitly’s WordPress Plugin and click Authorize.
8. Sign in to Bitly, if necessary, and click Allow. The plugin will retrieve an 
authorization from Bitly and update the Bitly OAuth Token field. 9. Scroll down 
and click Save Changes. 10. Select which types of entries you’ll be creating short
links for. 11. If your Bitly account has more than one group, select a group. This
is the group where your short links will be saved in Bitly. 12. If your Bitly account
has more than one custom domain, select a domain. This is the domain that will be
used for your short links. 13. Click Save Changes.

Now you can shorten links when you create a new post!

Creating a short link

After publishing a page or post, you’ll see the Bitly’s WordPress Plugin option 
in the settings. Click Get Shortlink to create a link to the current content. The
link will be saved in your Bitly account, and you’ll be able to view the number 
of clicks it receives right from this setting.

Viewing a link’s click data

Click metrics for a short link will appear in the post’s or page’s settings. They
include the number of clicks today, the total number clicks over time, and a graph
of the number of clicks over the last 7 days.

## FAQ

### Moet ik na de installatie al mijn berichten bijwerken om korte links te kunnen maken?

Nee. De eerste keer dat een short link wordt aangevraagd voor een bepaald bericht,
zal de plugin er automatisch een genereren.

 [TheMarque](https://profiles.wordpress.org/themarque/) 25 juli 2023

This plugin just no longer works and it starts to create critical errors with other
plugins on the website. Seems it is no longer supported, developed, or recommended.
Please remove from Wordpress Plugin directory.

 [Gabor Lippert](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lunule/) 9 maart 2022 1 reactie

Just like the previous reviewer said: The plugin does not work. After clicking on
the Authorize button, logging in to the bit.ly account and allowing access, the 
message ‘ERROR: Failed to retrieve access token.’ will be displayed. Btw, the whole
service is like a bad joke. Documentation is practically non-existent, the WP plugin
is not maintained and doesn’t work.

ta mais que provado que é um site bom, as vezes temos que pedir para pessoas encurtar
um link, uma TAG, ou uma campanha de publicidade, para mim está aprovado..

 [Yann Gourvennec](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ygourvennec/) 21 juni 2021

It’s taken me a while to understand the “generate short link” command does replace
the plain vanilla wp.me short-link. Well done Bitly, glad to see you and my vanity
url back in the console.

In addition to generate short URLs of your posts, I would like to do it also with
external URL without leaving the WordPress console.
