Description

WebCut is a WordPress plugin that lets site administrators create branded short links with a configurable prefix.

Installation

  • Copy the webcut directory into your site’s wp-content/plugins folder.
  • Activate WebCut - URL Shortener from Plugins → Installed Plugins.
  • On activation the plugin will create a wp_webcut table (prefix will adjust to your site).

Configuration

  • Navigate to Settings → WebCut to choose the prefix applied to every short URL. The default prefix is webcut.
  • The settings screen also lists every existing WebCut with options to open or delete entries.

Usage

  1. Add the [webcut] shortcode to any page or post.
  2. Visit the page while logged in with a role that can manage options (typically Administrator).
  3. Enter the long destination URL and a custom slug, then select Make WebCut.
  4. Share the generated short URL shown in the success message.

Managing WebCuts

  • Review all existing short links from Settings → WebCut.
  • Use the Delete button alongside an entry to remove it; the slug becomes available again immediately.

Notes

  • Only users with the manage_options capability can create or delete WebCuts.
  • Short URLs follow the pattern https://yoursite.com/<prefix>/<slug> and redirect with a 301 status code.
