📢 Introducing Tiny URL Manager for WordPress

Need clean, trackable short links within your WordPress site? Meet Tiny URL Manager, a lightweight plugin that lets you create, manage, and track short URLs right from your WordPress admin panel. Whether you want to shorten custom URLs or redirect to specific posts/pages, this plugin makes it easy — with click tracking built-in!

🔧 What is Tiny URL Manager?

Tiny URL Manager is a custom WordPress plugin that allows you to:

• Create short URLs like yourdomain.com/tiny/sale
• Redirect users to any custom long URL or a WordPress post/page by its ID
• Track clicks with IP address, timestamp, and user-agent
• Manage everything from a user-friendly admin interface

This is great for:

• Sharing links on social media
• Internal redirects
• Marketing campaigns
• Custom landing page URLs
• Tracking link performance

🚀 Key Features

✅ Shorten any long URL
✅ Use numeric short URLs to link to WordPress post/page by ID
✅ Track each visit (IP, browser, date/time)
✅ Admin UI to manage links and logs
✅ Redirects via /tiny/{short}
✅ Works out of the box – no external service needed

🧩 How It Works

1. Custom Redirect Structure

All short URLs follow this structure:
https://yourdomain.com/tiny/{short}

Examples:

• https://example.com/tiny/blackfriday → redirects to your full landing page URL
• https://example.com/tiny/123 → redirects to the WordPress post/page with ID 123

2. Click Tracking

Each time a short link is accessed, the plugin logs:

• Short URL used
• Visitor’s IP address
• Browser/User-Agent
• Date and time

These logs are available in the admin panel.

📥 Installation

Step 1: Upload the Plugin

1. Download or create the plugin file tiny-url-manager.php
2. Upload to your site’s wp-content/plugins/ folder
3. Or, zip the plugin and upload it via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin

Step 2: Activate the Plugin

• Go to Plugins in your WordPress dashboard
• Click Activate on Tiny URL Manager

Step 3: Flush Permalinks (If Needed)

If the /tiny/{short} path gives a 404:

• Go to Settings > Permalinks
• Click Save Changes (even without changes)

This resets WordPress rewrite rules.

🛠 How to Create a Short URL
