Can't get shortlink working

    Hi,

    On my site I have options to share post on twitter etc. This is the current code:

    <?php if ($tz_enable_twitter == "true") { ?>
<li class="tweet"><a title="Tweet this post" href="https://twitter.com/home/?status=<?php the_title(); ?>?-?<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Tweet this post</a></li>
<?php } ?>

    Now I tried replacing <?php the_permalink(); ?> with <?php wpbitly_shortlink();?> and that didn’t work (no URL shows). I have also tried replacing it with <?php wp_get_shortlink();?> and that doesn’t work either.

    Anything I can do to fix it? Thanks

    Yes I know that.

    I am talking about the shortlink code provided with the plugin. It is at the bottom of the FAQ.

    When adding the shortlink using the php code, it doesn’t display a shortlink.

    Fixed it.

    I did try using the standard WP shortlink function as well as the plugin shortlink code (see first post) but that wasn’t working either. I decided to have another look at it today and notice I forgot something in the code (duh!) I missed the “echo” to call the function.

    This works:
    <?php echo wp_get_shortlink(); ?>
