Description

If people respond to your posts and put a long link within their comment, it is very likely that their comment will stretch beyond the confines of you comment section.

Comment URL Compacter is a simple plugin that will shrink the anchor text of a long link, but still point the user to the correct site.

You can test it in the comments below this post if you’d like. Put a long URL (ex: a Google search query) into your comment and my plugin will do the rest!

Download

You can download the plugin here: comment-url-compacter.zip

Installation

1. Download
2. Unzip
3. Upload to the WordPress plugins folder (wp-content/plugins)
