Are you looking for a way to automatically create and display the tiny URLs? While there’s probably a plugin for this, we have created a quick code snippet that you can use to create tiny URLs automatically a in WordPress.
Instructions:
All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:
function getTinyUrl($url) {
$tinyurl = file_get_contents("http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=".$url);
return $tinyurl;
}
Add this code to your theme’s single.php file.
<?php $turl = getTinyUrl(get_permalink($post->ID)); echo 'Tiny Url for this post: <a href="'.$turl.'">'.$turl.'</a>' ?>
