That sounds like you’re using an unsupported version of YOURLs; what version do you have installed?
Hmm. Well, that should be fine. That would suggest that the load of Yourls isn’t working; which would mean that the file path you have entered in your settings isn’t correct. Verify that file path and see if it’s correct.

That’s the error I get when the URL isn’t correct.
What do you mean by “URL”? If you have a URL loaded in the YOURLS settings, rather than file path, then you would be using YOURLS as a remote service, not as a local service; in which case that function shouldn’t ever be loaded at all. Can you submit a support request, so I can ask for a screenshot of your settings? (I don’t want you to share your settings in a public forum.)
Okay, just noticed that I was only supposed to fill in the local service and not both URI.
So, without posting the exact information, for my local server I point to the config file at
/home/users/web/mysiteid/mysite/yourls/user/config.php
I put in an echo to see what directory your script was looking for ‘load-yourls.php’ and it gives me this:
/home/users/web/mysiteid/mysite/y/user
However, the ‘load-yours.php’ file is actually in
/home/users/web/mysiteid/mysite/y/includes
But, even hardcoding the full path to the load-yourls.php file still gives me the error

No error message was returned.
So, there must still be something not right. But, it was never finding the ‘load-yourls.php’ file
Hi – I responded to your email, but haven’t heard back; did you get that message?
Yes. But, you said that you would look into it, so I didn’t see a need to respond at that moment. It was a busy weekend.
