Devenia Canonical Shortlinks

Emit canonical permalinks for WordPress shortlink output so scanners and crawlers see the direct 200 URL instead of ?p= redirects.


What it does

WordPress can expose shortlinks such as ?p=123. Devenia Canonical Shortlinks filters shortlink output at runtime so tools see the canonical permalink instead.

When it helps

  • Sites where scanners or crawlers keep finding ?p= shortlink redirects.
  • WordPress installs that should expose stable canonical URLs.
  • Maintenance workflows where shortlink output should be predictable.

Use it safely

Install and activate the plugin. It does not add settings or public endpoints; it filters WordPress shortlink output at runtime and leaves content, slugs, redirects, and canonical tags unchanged.

Current release

Version 1.0.0 filters WordPress shortlink output to canonical post permalinks.
