DUK

How do I create a short link?

Go to Royal Links > Add New in your WordPress admin. Enter a title, destination URL, and optionally customize the slug.

What redirect type should I use?

For permanent redirects (most affiliate links), use 301. For temporary redirects or testing, use 302 or 307.

Does this work with Amazon Associates?

Yes, but Amazon requires uncloaked links. Consider uncloaking Amazon links or use the nofollow attribute only.

Can I import links from Pretty Links or ThirstyAffiliates?

Yes! Go to Royal Links > Import/Export and use the migration tool to import from other plugins.
