Thank you for your replay.
As you can see in my first post, I did see that I can use link-shortener like bit.ly. But as I also wrote, I do use my own which is connected to the wordpress function

“wp_get_shortlink()”

I need a workaround for blog2social to make it use that. Is there no way to do so?

Best regards

Hi,
thank you for your reply. It is not quite what I want. Changing the permalinks will change the URL shown in the browser bar as well. I need to keep my URL as it is. Only when I share the content on twitter ect. I need a shorter URL.
With other PlugIns I can use the wordpress funktion

“wp_get_shortlink()”

It will show the short https://www.domain.com/p=123 form of the URL. But I cannot find any way to let blog2social use that function.
I could edit the blog2social PHP files if it is necessary. But since I did not write this plugIn, I do not know where or what to change.

Thank you for your reply.
I indeed saw the Rebrandly and Sniply settings right by the bit.ly settings. But what I would like is to use the wordpress-own [shortlink] link like https://www.domain.com/?p=123.

Is this possible?

Hi Heinz,

I had the same problem and I searched a lot for solving it (I have a free premium account with less than 1000 subs, so I did not want to bother the support team). My problem was basically the same, only I needed a bit more space above, because of a big header.
It is not possible to change this page as far as I see it. If you look into the php, the site is generated on the fly, so there is nothing to edit.
The template-solution works, but you will have to make it the standard template for every page and then, with elementor pro theme builder or something, put the original standard template to be not standard, but used with every other page. It is a bit of work though.

Another solution is to user google capture instead of the MailPoet one. This one is not shown in a extra page, but directly in the subscriber form.

Worst support of all time! You needed SOME HOURS until you updated the plugin! I think with a free plugin we would deserve a good support within minutes! ??

Ok, seriously, I love you man. This was the fastest and best solution I have ever seen for a free plugin, I will absolutely vote it 5 stars right after sending this text. The updated plugin works great, and with the possibility to insert any text after the highlighted text I am free to decide how to use it. It is even better than just enabling “quotation marks? yes/no” into the settings tab, which is what I was thinking about.

Hi Ronald,
it is a free plugin, and you give your time developing it. I think there is no need to say sorry if you don’t reply every day every time immediately ?? Thank you for your work!

Of course, I can leave a note there. I will do this right now. I don′t understand why it is better to write there instead of here, though.

Hi again,

I worked out how to modify the URL using a filter. It works fine.

But I am not good enough to see if I can modify the quoted content (adding quotationsmarks) in any way. Does somebody know this?

Thank you

This works fine. Thank you very much. I will this out .

ok I found out how to modify the “wp_get_shortlink()” function. I added a filter and called a new function witch simply changed the url. Works fine, the posted link is the short version and twitter and facebook look up the pictures and stuff because with your plug in the social networks look up the data from the new, short version of the blog.

My problem is now that the plug in works too well ?? It now shows all the links in the menu and so on with the new, short domain name. I guess this is what the plug in is supposed to do. Is there any way to tell the plug in something like “ok, use the short url when somebody from outside calles the page, but within the blog, with all links, menus, plugins and so on, always use the old, long, original domain name?”

To make the last question a bit more clear: Can I just modify the “wp_get_shortlink()” to use the new, shorter TLD? And if so – how?

allright than. thank you again ??

Hi Tracy,
well, your company solved my problem in less than 5 minutes, so, yes, I gave you a good review.
I have one additional question: I wondered why “Subscribe to Newsletter”-checkmark in the comment-integration is not displayed sometimes, than I noticed that this is when the user is already in the list. Is this on purpose or do I get something wrong?

Well, this was pretty easy. I made a backup, posted your Code into that plugin you wrote about and it works just like what I asked for. I know a little bit php, not much, but enough to understand what the code did. I also have an overview about filters now. It is explained in code.tutsplus.com and I think I have an idea whats all about.
Thank you a lot for your good support. I don′t need any of your paid plug-ins, but I will buy one anyway, maybe the Popups for Easy Forms, because a good support is the most important thing.

Hi Kevin ,

Thank you for your very fast help. No, I am not familiar with adding filter functions nor am I experienced with theme’s functions.php. But as a new user, I am willing to read, so for now I know what to google for, and also I know that this request is not regular supported by the plug in. Otherwise it would have been silly to try something like that, while the solution is “go to x, click register y, click on “pre-fill email”, click on save” ??

Thank you for your code. I will try to implement that and lean by the way what the heck a filter is.
