    Hey there,

    thank you for this plugin, it does exactly what i needed.

    But – if you shorten an URL in “external Redirections” you missed including the pictures for the arrows ??

    For all who want to fix it on their own. You need 1 up arrow, 1 down arrow and 2 states – regular and selected. If you have this 4 pictures, save them in “wp-content/plugins/shorten-url/core/img” as arrow_down.png / arrow_down_s.png / arrow_up.png / arrow_up_s.png (or change the pic name in the source).

    One thing I would like to see on the roadmap – how about additional catefories for the links?
    For example:

    Category A – News
    Category B – Documents

    And if these would have their own prefix it would be perfect.

    Thank you !

    Gosh that is fast ??

    The category option for the Links would allow you to customize it a bit more than you already can. I will give you a few examples to make it more visible.

    1. You create 3 categories. Within the category you can specify if you want to use the global shortening option or if you want a specific prefix for that category.

    You end up with:
    – category 1 – “Wikipedia” – prefix “” (no prefix)
    – category 2 – “Advertising” – prefix “ads”
    – category 3 – “IMDB” – prefix “IMDB”

    2. Depending on the chosen category for your external links you will end up with:

    – category 1 – https://theidea.net/3463728
    – category 2 – https://theidea.net/ads/3463728
    – category 3 – https://theidea.net/imdb/3463728

    Main arguments for it – it gives you a better overview of the URLs if you have a lot of external links. Like this you could sort the links by category (even if the do not a prefix).
    One could argue that it defies the matter of “shortening” because it makes the URLs longer again. In my opinion .. its true, but if you are not setting up a new “bit.ly” your domain usually will be longer any way. With the additional prefixes you could gain “fancy short external” links which benefits the User who wants to click on it. He already will know that the category 3 link will lead him to imdb.com for example.

    But its just a suggestion, if you do not like it, I still will be happy with you plugin ??
