In a perfect example of “answering questions that aren’t being asked,” this plugin has suddenly become bloated with tons of upsells and features we don’t need. For years, I used this plugin precisely because it did one thing… beautifully. Simple redirection and link shrinking, perfect for affiliate link management. Now, I’m bombarded with upsells for a bloated feature set I don’t need. Why not release all those features in a NEW plugin, and leave Simple URLs alone? Before forcing users into an “all-in-one” solution for affiliate marketers, it might have been wise to first determine what solution your plugin solved in the first place. Now I’ve got to figure out how to migrate hundreds of redirect links out of SimpleURLs to a new plugin. So, thanks for that.
