    Hi guys,

    I am looking for a plugin that can help me overall on the the fact 1.
    1. I want to have the full control about referal links over the various platforms and change them in case without needing to edits multiple posts because one only link changed
    and as consequence
    2. to “short-linking” the outgoing links (something like: mydomain.com/?l=62dew78)
    3. to monitor outgoing traffic

    not needed: adding some notes to the links in order to remember me what they are without needing to explore them by clicking

    Is there anything that can help me doing so?

    Thank you and…happy Easter 🙂

    Hey @nipait!

    Happy Easter to you too!

    1. If I understand correctly, you’d like to define your links in one place and then reference them wherever needed, so that when there is a change you only need to update the main/master link. Personally I’m not aware of a plugin that does this but it seems like a great idea! We might take a look at doing this 😉

    2. You might be looking for URL shorteners. There’s quite a few here: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/search/url+shortener/. However, I see that you put mydomain.com, so your domain and server will be the one that has to read ?l=62dew78, understand it, and redirect appropriately. If you use one of the URL shorteners above, they will take care of mydomain.com and use whatever they have.

    3. Monitoring outgoing traffic is an interesting thing! If you are already using a system like Google Analytics, you can create events that track link clicks. Read more about it here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1136920?hl=en

    Hi @mmediagroup,

    thank you for your reply. I’ve checked that plugin previously but it wasn’t anything I was looking for.

    I found Linker here which does exactly what I needed.

    Thank you
