I want to make a random permalink for each new post. For example when an author creat a new post, he get this kind of permalink automaticly: http://mysite.com/x5Kvy6 (like bit.ly). But i want he keep the choice to choose a keyword instead of the random key.

Someone know the way or maybe a plugin to make this?

P.S.: i don't research an url shortener plugin.

Any advice is welcome!

I built a similar feature for my personal website, that consists of a new database table, WordPress admin page and some .htaccess rewrites. Unfortunately the setup is too involved with my particular installation to be useful as a plugin, but there are plenty of URL shortener plugins available already.

A quick search yields this WP plugin but I've never tried it. You might need to try several plugins out, but I'm sure there is one available that can provide approximately the functionality you're looking for.

Yes i have tested lots of url shortener for wordpress but they don t fit to my need, they just creat another permalink who refer to the post's permalink. – wpev Jul 30 '12 at 16:17
