WP-Bitly 2.2.8 gives unwanted short URLs

    I switched from the official Bitly WP plugin to WP-Bitly because the official plugin resulted in different plugins using short URLs for internal links.

    The 2.2.8 update, changed WP-Bitly to match this unwanted behavior.
    Added post_link and post_type_link filters to provide shortlinks to plugins that are calling get_permalink instead of wp_get_shortlink

    Smart Archives Reloaded lists all posts with short URLs for my site’s archives page.

    TW Recent Posts widgets lists URLs of current posts with the current page URL.

    Is it possible for a future version to disable the new functionality introduced in WP-Bitly 2.2.8 for greater compatibility?

    I had a sinking feeling that it might be overreaching. Maybe moving forward what needs to be done is to include a list of plugins that it’s permitted to override, and maybe even make it configurable from the dashboard…

    If you feel up to editing, you can comment out lines 213 and 214 of wp-content/plugins/wp-bitly/wp-bitly.php. If not, and completely understandable that you probably don’t want to, I’ll get an update out tonight after I get home from the office.

    Yes I agree it needs to be configurable to specific plugins or just an on and off toggle. My Yoast SEO plugin is displaying the shortlink in the meta description, which is unwanted. I do like the idea of forcing get_permalink to use wp_get_shortlink instead, I just don’t want my meta description to use it. It will definitely be nice to have when using social share buttons that grab the get_permalink rather than the wp_get_shortlink but needs the ability to turn off on some plugins. I do appreciate your dedicated development on this plugin and your quick response to the issue. Keep up the good work.

    I commented out the lines and got my site back to working normally.

    Thanks for looking into the issue.

    Reverted in 2.2.9 — I’ll go back to the drawing board on how to approach this particular issue, and hopefully have a better solution for 2.3
