## Àpèjúwe

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.

 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 youÌtumọ̀ 
Yorùbá: ’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 BitlyÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’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 youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’ll connect the plugin to your Bitly account. Scroll down
to BitlyÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’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 youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’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 BitlyÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’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

### After installation, do I need to update all my posts for short links to be created?

No. The first time a short link is requested for a particular post, the plugin will
automatically generate one.

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.

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 doesnÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’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..

ItÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’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.
