  • Almost works in 2024

    was hoping to use this to make a new site I'm spinning up to replace an existing/old one more 'move proof' however for some reason the colon is missing in the URL that is generated with the short code. My site is using https, and the urls created are 'https//temp.domain.com' without the colon so it fails. I looked at the code a bit (not a developer) and it wasn't obvious how I might modify it to work.

  • Super simple!

    Great little plugin. You need to replace the base url by [base_url]. That's all. Works for images and for links in pages. Very small drawback: doesn't work in text widgets... Thanks! Lenneke
