shorten-url

The error thrown out is: Fatal error: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported in [PATH]/wp-content/plugins/shorten-url/core/utils.class.php on line 102 site:wordpress.org Simply inactivating the plugin will also inactivate all the short urls you made. You will thus have to install a compatible alternative and recreate all the old short URLs.

I have used him for more than 4 years and it is still functioning normally Although the author has not updated in a long time

I've been using it about 3 years. It just does it job simply and perfectly. Thanks to the author.

thank you so much. this is i was searching for and finally found it. it works fine with wordpress 4.9.2

We installed this plugin a while back, it hasn't been updated since. I started looking into server performance issues and was shocked to see the errors this plugin causes.

This plugin is poorly optimized - it will slow down your server and browser page load unnecessarily. There's no reason to attempt to modify the content/excerpt if the "Automatic shorten links in article" option is disabled - this easily translates to hundreds of calls to function 'replace_by_short_link' (1 SQL query each) = SLOW SERVER. Also, a short link is created in the database for every page/post despite setting shortlink 'types' - this can easily create a very large database table unnecessarily. If not making use of displaying the short URL automatically, does not stop the CSS style from being loaded into the page header = SLOWER PAGE LOAD. The adding of a parent menu called "SL Plugins" is bloated and ugly. Finally, you do not create an instance of your class (which is best coding practice) so that I can at least remove actions/filters for better performance. Giving this 2 stars until improved.
