Hi there, I’m using WordPress 4.1 and EE4 4.4.8.p Since upgrading from 4.4.6.p to 4.4.8.p the wordpress shortlink function built into the post screen no longer works. It generates the shortlink, but actual use of the shortlink simply takes the user to the homepage. I have deactivated all plugins, and reactivated and deactivated one by one to discover that the problem only exists when event espresso is activated. We use short links a lot, so this is a major problem for us, as is having event espresso deactivated. On a recent post there used to be a download link for 4.4.6.p, which we used to downgrade when there were problems with 4.4.7.p, but the link has now been removed, would you mind providing this link again, so we can downgrade again until this issue can be bottomed out? Thank you |

Hi Lorenzo, Sadly this isn’t working with 4.4.6.p either. We use short links a lot, so I’m fairly certain it used to work, the only other thing we have changed recently is the upgrade to wordpress 4.1 – it might be that, but I don’t have time to test on an earlier wordpress version. I hope that you get this fixed quickly |

Thanks Chris. I looks like this started in 4.4.6 so I will let the developers know and they will look into it in more depth (I did look for a temporary work around but was unable to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue). |
Hi Chris, You can work around the issue by adding the following code to your theme’s functions.php file or into a custom snippets plugin
