Automatically expands URLs at the following known link shorteners when you save a post:
\n* t.co
\n* bit.ly
\n* ow.ly
\n* j.mp
\n* is.gd
\n* trib.al
\n* buff.ly
\n* wp.me
\n* tmblr.co
\n* goo.gl
\n* dlvr.it
\n* fb.me
\n* qr.ae
\n* aka.ms
\n* tinyurl.com

\n","installation":"

Install the plugin and activate it. The next time you paste a supported short URL into a post, it will be updated when the post is saved.

\n","faq":"\n

\nWhat if the destination redirects to another link?\n\n

If the destination is another known URL shortener (ex. t.co pointing to bit.ly pointing to wp.me pointing to a blog post), it’ll keep going up to 8 levels (to avoid infinite loops!) or until it gets a URL that isn’t on the list.

\nHow do I add a shortener to the list?\n\n

It’s not supported yet, but I plan on adding an options page for it.

\nI’m running on a local server and this doesn’t do anything!\n\n

Most likely your system is configured to block your local webserver
\nfrom making outgoing connections. This is a sensible default for security!
\nDepending on your system, it may be blocked by a local or network firewall.
\nIf you’re running Fedora Workstation with SELinux (like I am), this will enable it:
\n sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect true

Thanks to igienger’s post on the WordPress support forums!

\nWhat about compatibility?\n\n

It should work going back to the classic editor and forward to the block editor. It even works on ClassicPress.
