Description
U2L AI is a modern link management platform for branded short links, QR codes, click analytics, and custom domains. This plugin brings it into your WordPress editor:
- Short link meta box — generate a branded short link for any post or page with one click; it’s stored with the post and shown in the editor sidebar.
- Auto-shorten on publish — optionally create the short link automatically the first time a post or page is published.
- Custom domains — use automatic domain placement, or pin the plugin to one of the domains connected to your U2L AI account.
You need a U2L AI account (free plan works) and an API key from your dashboard.
External services
This plugin talks to the U2L AI API (https://u2l.ai/api/v1) to create short links and validate your API key. The post’s public permalink and title are sent when you generate a short link. See the privacy policy and terms of service.
Installation
- Install and activate the plugin.
- Create an API key in your U2L AI dashboard under Settings API Keys.
- Go to Settings U2L AI, paste the key, and save. The page confirms which account is connected.
- Open any post or page — the “U2L AI Short Link” box appears in the sidebar.
FAQ
-
Do I need a paid U2L AI account?
-
No. Every plan, including the free plan, has API access. Paid plans add higher limits, more custom domains, and advanced features.
-
Where are the short links stored?
-
On your U2L AI account (they appear in your dashboard like any other link) and in the post’s meta (
_u2l_short_link) so the editor can display it. -
Does the plugin change my permalinks?
-
No. It only creates an external short link that redirects to your post’s permalink.
