What is Favorite Links? How to use it in URL Shortify?

With Favorite Links in URL Shortify, you can easily mark and access your most important short links — all in one place.

Instead of searching through long lists every time, simply favorite the links you use most and find them instantly when you need them.

What Favorite Links Helps You Do:

  • 📌 Pin your most important short links for quick access
  • 🔍 Save time — no more endless scrolling
  • 📊 Stay organized — separate your top links from the rest
  • 🚀 Focus on what matters — campaigns, promotions, daily use links

Whether it’s a high-traffic campaign link, an affiliate URL, or your go-to landing page, Favorite Links keeps your key URLs right where you need them.

To add a single link to your favorites, click the empty star icon (⭐) to the left of the link title in the Links list. The star turns filled (★) immediately, confirming the link has been added to your favorites.

How It Works

Per-User Favorites

Favorites are stored per user. Each WordPress user has their own set of favorite links. If User A favorites a link, User B will not see that link as favorited in their view.

Automatic Cleanup

When a link is deleted from the system, its favorite entries are automatically removed for all users. No orphaned favorites remain in the database.

PRO Feature

Favorite Link is available in the URL Shortify PRO
