  1. URL Shortify 2.7.2Latest

    • Update: Minor bug fixes and improvements.

  2. URL Shortify 2.7.1

    • New: Rebuilt the statistics screens for links, groups, tags and the dashboard. Each now opens with the figures that answer “is this link working?” – clicks, unique clicks, visitors, repeat rate and clicks per day, each carrying its change against the period immediately before it – followed by a sho…
    • New: Traffic channels. Referrers are grouped into search, social, email, other websites and direct, so you can see what kind of effort is bringing people in rather than reading a list of individual URLs. PRO
    • New: A weekday-by-hour grid showing when your audience actually clicks, in your site’s own timezone, so you can time the next share for it. PRO
    • New: Groups and tags now show a ranked table of the links inside them, with each link’s position, total clicks, unique clicks, its share of the set, and the device, browser and platform behind it. The link doing the work sits at the top and the ones doing none sit at the bottom rather than being hi…
    • New: A Top links leaderboard on the dashboard – the ten busiest links with their share, their change against the previous period and the audience behind each one. PRO
    • New: Smart Reports carry the same audience panels as the rest of the plugin – headline figures, insights, traffic channels, peak times, locations, referrers, and devices, browsers and platforms – scoped to the report’s own selection and date range. PRO
    • New: Deep link redirect type. A link set to it opens its destination in that site’s own app when the visitor is on a phone or tablet – the Amazon app for an Amazon link, YouTube for a YouTube one – and redirects normally everywhere else. It also answers links tapped inside Telegram, Instagram or Fa…
    • New: QR scan tracking. Scans of a QR code generated by the plugin are now counted as their own source of traffic, with a QR scans tile, a QR row in traffic channels and an insight line, instead of disappearing into “Direct & apps” alongside every other click with no referrer. Codes printed before t…
    • New: The share menu carries twenty networks instead of nine – Facebook, X, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Telegram, Reddit, Pinterest, Bluesky, Threads, Tumblr, LINE, Xing, Pocket, Buffer, email, SMS, VKontakte, Hacker News and the two QR code downloads. PRO
    • New: One “New” menu on the dashboard listing everything your site can create – link, group, tag, domain, UTM preset, tracking pixel, auto link keyword and smart report – in place of two loose buttons.
    • New: A copy control on every row of the group and tag link tables, so a short link can be copied without opening that link’s own page.
    • Update: Devices, browsers, platforms, locations and referrers are now horizontal bars with their icons rather than pie charts, because a share is read by comparing lengths against a shared baseline. Every bar carries the same mark the click log and the link tables use.
    • Update: Rebuilt the click log. It carried seven columns, two of which held the same value and two of which were identical down the whole page. It now reads Visitor, Source, Device and When, with the Link column back on the screens where rows span more than one link.
    • Update: The links inside a group or a tag are paged ten at a time with a search box once there are more than ten of them, so a group of 240 links no longer buries the rest of the screen. Searching keeps each link’s true standing rather than renumbering the results.
    • Update: The activity heatmap is available on every site. It always shows a year of daily rhythm, which is the only span the shape is good for, and the card now says so rather than appearing to follow the date filter.
    • Update: Export actions say what they export – “Export Links” and “Export Clicks Data” rather than “Export CSV”, which named the file format – and all of them carry an icon.
    • Update: Social sharing has been removed from the link statistics screen. Statistics are for reading what a link did; the share menu stays on the links list and the link edit form.
    • Update: The clicks CSV export includes a Source column, so QR scans can be counted outside the plugin too.
    • Fix: Every breakdown on the statistics screens reported all time whatever period you selected. Locations, referrers, devices, browsers and platforms now follow the date range, and a custom range reaches every panel instead of being silently discarded before it got there.
    • Fix: The dashboard’s period filter did nothing at all. The pills rendered and linked, but every range shared one stored result, so whichever range was viewed first was the one everybody got afterwards.
    • Fix: The click log disagreed with the figures above it, because it counted a rolling window of the last few times twenty-four hours while everything else counted calendar days. They are resolved through the same window now and agree by construction.
    • Fix: A site without a licence could ask for all time through the address bar on the dashboard, link, group and tag screens and be given it. The tag screen did not even need that – it showed everyone all time by default.
    • Fix: Group and tag statistics could render with the device, browser and platform columns missing for up to three hours after an update, because a stored page was trusted on the strength of its version suffix alone.
    • Fix: Three share links were broken or out of date. Telegram’s was malformed and used an address desktop browsers cannot open, WhatsApp’s was missing a slash, and LinkedIn used an endpoint that has been retired.
    • Fix: The device icon fell back to a broken image for any device the tracker did not recognise, including the “Others” bucket. Unknown devices now show the same neutral mark browsers and platforms already used.
    • Fix: The dashboard’s New dropdown never opened – the control had been inert – and its outside-click handler never fired.
    • Fix: Sorting the click log by a column could silently order by a different one, because the table kept its own copy of the column positions.
    • Fix: Saved Smart Reports could open on “No clicks in this range” with a goal link reading “Deleted link”.
    • Translations: Updated .POT file for new translations.
