PublishPress Shortlinks v1.8: Say Hello to Reports
The PublishPress Shortlinks v1.8.0 is available now. The headline addition is a new “Reports” feature, so you can easily see which links are being used.

Shortlinks Reports
This feature is available via the “Reports” link in your admin menu. You can now see your shortlink performance data on this new screen. This makes it easier to understand which links are getting attention. You can how many people are clicking on your links during a specific time period, and which links they’re clicking on.
More highlights
- Post type controls: Choose which post types can use shortlinks, including posts, pages, or supported custom post types. You can find this option in Shortlinks > Settings > Post types.
- Redesigned settings: You can now manage Shortlinks options from a cleaner settings interface that is easier to scan and configure.
- Migration tools: It’s easier to move your existing shortlink data into the plugin when moving from another plugin.
Other improvements and fixes
- Shortlink page fix: Resolved a 404 error that could appear on the shortlink page when Shortlinks was active.
- Cleaner shortlink records: Prevented WordPress auto drafts from creating shortlink entries before real content exists.
- Contributor documentation: Added pull request template documentation to improve the project workflow.
