Hello. Great Script, but I am having a 500 server error whenever anyone clicks to create a new Space. After inputting the name and choosing the color then clicking on save, a 500 server error message pops up. The new Space is however created in the database, but every time you then click on the Spaces link in the user menu, you also get a 500 server error. I have to go into database and delete the newly created Space to be able to view the Spaces link in menu again. Any help would be most appreciated.

Hello abynalsk,
Hard to say without seeing the error message itself. Please right click on the icon, and click on “Open image in a new tab”, and let us know what’s being displayed there.

Hello abynalsk,
That looks like an SSL issue. Please include the full URL of the favicon, so we can see whether this is an issue on your side, or an issue with DDG’s SSL. Copy the address from your address bar, and send it over to us.
Regards,
Lunatio.
Hello abynalsk,
The SSL certificate for the indicated URL works perfectly fine, there’s something wrong with the mobile device you’re using. If you’re using a VPN, or a proxy, try disabling it and see if that fixes it.
Have a look at: https://i.imgur.com/xYmCHSX.png
Additionally, have a look at: https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=https://icons.duckduckgo.com/ip3/docs.google.com.ico

I’ve tried accessing it from two different smartphones, a MacBook, and different networks, but the icon still doesn’t appear.
Hello abynalsk,
Please send us an email at contact@lunatio.com with your website’s URL and log-in credentials, so we can have a look at this, thank you.

added this option user or guest shorten link after x month not click in url then auto removed url and added coustom splash page option to redirect custom splash page and show timer after auto redirect oreginal url
can you ans please
Hello josondoll,
Perhaps we’ll add an option to automatically delete links that never received a visit, but generally – you’d never want to remove links, this is pretty much the golden rule with URL shorteners, they should work forever.
As for the splash page, what exactly are you referring to, can you be a bit more descriptive? What would this splash page display?
Regards,
Lunatio.
Hello josondoll,
Quick update on your Splash page inquiry. At this point I can confirm that the next phpShort update will include a splash page option for Guest or Plans (that do not have the “No Ads” feature enabled), as well as add spots where you can place your ads.
Stay tuned!
Regards,
Lunatio.
Hello josondoll,
We’ve implemented Splash pages, see: https://i.imgur.com/fjYml6f.png

i want my user and gest shorten link index in google and bing now i see site:mysite. com auto not index my all link i want auto index my all shorten link
Hello josondoll,
Google recommends redirect URLs to redirect with a 301 status code, which is the industry standard: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/301-redirects
You can read more about it at: https://chatgpt.com/s/t_69c3b97fb9c481918cc29ccbc5fe4a1a
As such, our software follows this standard, and redirects all links with a 301 status code.
These URLs are not indexable, Google will index the destination URL, which is totally normal and to be expected.
If you want to change this behavior, you can do it from /app/Http/Controllers/RedirectController.php but you do this at your own risk, as it could actually hurt your SEO.

how to protect my website in spam account i see auto create account i removed lot of account but after some time i see lot of create new spam acoount see and how to fixed – https://prnt.sc/qAbbt7LlSBLl
Hello josondoll,
You did not enabled any Captcha systems on your website. Please follow the Documentation and enable a Captcha system of your preference: https://lunatio.com/phpshort/documentation#captcha
P.S. Unconfirmed accounts are automatically being deleted after 30 days.

Hi, I moved my website (files and database) to another web hosting provider, edited the DB credentials in the .env file (DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, and DB_PASSWORD), but the app has stopped working. DNS records are correct. /login and the shortened URLs are returning 404. Is there anything else I should do?
Hello pepperos,
Yes, in the database table, head over to the `domains` table, and update the default domain to have the new domain name 
Regards,
Lunatio.
Hi, the “domains” table is empty, also on the original server where the app works normally + the domain name is not changing.
Hello pepperos,
Can you show a screenshot of the “404” error you’re seeing on the new host? Is that error actually thrown by phpShort, or is it by your server?
What version of phpShort are you running?
Regards,
Lunatio.
The 404 is by my server, not by phpShort.
Where can I find the version info?
Hello pepperos,
If the 404 is from your server, then that has nothing to do with our software, it just means that your web root directory is misconfigured.
You may want to contact your hosting provider in regards to that.
The phpShort version can be found in the Admin Panel Dashboard.
Regards,
Lunatio.
OK, thank you, I’ll try it with them. FYI, the version is 1.0.0.
Hello pepperos,
Then my previous instruction does not apply. The issue in your case is with your server being misconfigured (not poiting to the proper folder).
I strongly suggest you to upgrade to v52, phpShort has received a plethora of improvements since v1. Please note that if you do decide to upgrade to phpShort v52, the Stats history will be deleted, as we’ve changed the way we’re collecting and storing Stats, so that’s something to keep in mind.
Regards,
Lunatio.
OK, I’ll do the update later, following this instruction https://lunatio.com/phpshort/documentation#update.
In the meantime, can I provide the hosting provider some instructions on how to point to the proper folder? Or would that create a problem again after updating?
Yes, you can do that – won’t create any issues when you decide to update to the latest version.
Regards,
Lunatio.
Hi, I uploaded the files from the latest version, set the document root directory to /public, but when I try to access /update, I get error 500.
Hello pepperos,
Please include screenshots of the said errors. It’s extremely hard to blind guess what could be happening without a minimum of visual information. A “500” error means an internal server error. That could be due to a plethora of issues.
Regards,
Lunatio.
I uploaded several screenshots here https://postimg.cc/gallery/ms6sRpS
Hello pepperos,
Re-upload the software and make sure there are no errors during the upload process (this generally happens when some files from the /vendor/ folder are missing).
If the issue perists, feel free to email us cPanel credentials so we can have a deeper look at this for you.
Regards,
Lunatio.
Hi,
I’m evaluating your PHPShort URL Shortener script and I would like to confirm whether it can support a specific workflow before purchasing.
My use case is slightly different from a traditional public URL shortener.
Instead of allowing completely open link creation, I want to use the platform to activate pre-generated short codes for physical devices (for example NFC cards or QR codes).
The workflow would be something like this:
I already have a list/database of predefined alphanumeric codes (for example: ABC123, X7K92A, etc.) that are printed on physical devices.
When someone visits an activation page, they will:
paste a long destination URL
enter the device code printed on the card
The system should then create a short link using that exact code.
Example:
Device code: ABC123
Destination URL: https://example.com/review-link Resulting short URL: https://domain.com/ABC123A few questions:
Is it possible to create short links using predefined custom codes like this?
Can the script validate whether a code already exists (or is allowed) before creating the link?
Is it possible to create links without requiring the user to log in (for example via a simple public activation form)?
Does the system support fast redirects for thousands of short URLs without performance issues?
Is there an API or endpoint that could be used to create short URLs programmatically?
Essentially, I want to use the system more like a controlled activation platform rather than an open public shortener.
Please let me know if this workflow is supported natively or if it would require modifications.
Thank you!
Hello gjaindel,
Thank you for reaching us.
phpShort has a fully fledged API, which you can use to programatically generate short URLs.
You can view its documentation straight on the live demo (and even test it out) at: https://phpshort.lunatio.com/developers
Wouldn’t the “Device code” act like a password in this case? phpShort has a password feature, so perhaps setting the short’s URL Password to match the Device code meet your needs?
Regards,
Lunatio.
Thanks for the reply!! See the device code can act like password as they are unique 6-7 character random alphanumeric strings. I think that should work. See right now on your site https://phpshort.lunatio.com/ people can paste long url and create a shorter one. I just want only you can create the short url if it matches the device code else will say this code does not exist or already in use.
Hello gjaindel,
That’s not posible out of the box, and never heard of an URL shortener providing such functionality out of the box. It’s a very specific use case, which requires customizing the software, or using the API to generate the URL based on specific set of conditions.
Regards,
Lunatio.
Hey Lunatio, Thanks for the reply. Some url shortners do something like what Im saying like quickcode.digital https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CM99XKg8iVs. However, that is an elaborate platform and I dont require that and I think your script is more than enough.
I hope this is achievable >Landing page -> Enter Long Url, Enter Short Url -> Activate. I dont want randomly to be created but specific characters that customer enters. Also the only reason I wanted only my codes should be created is due to spamming as I dont want bots to create thousands of unnecessary codes. However, if that can be taken care of then actually I dont even require the password/entry of my unique codes in database to start with.
Hello gjaindel,
I see what you mean now. You want unregistered users to shorten URLs, however the URLs should not become available, unless they’re confirmed via email first, using a unique URL or a manual code. This is not a feature we have, and we’ve never had such an inquiry before, sorry.
Anyway, while we do have three different captcha systems (you can either use reCaptcha, hCaptcha, or Turnstile), there’s always a chance bots will by-pass those, and generate those confirmation links en-mass.
The only real solution to this is to ask the user to register, enable email confirmation, and two-factor authentication, and and that point, you don’t have to bother the user to ask him to enter codes over and over again.
We also have Social Authentication for Google, Microsoft, or Apple accounts, so you can set those up for easy 1-click sign-ups.
Once a user is registered, you also have the advantage of being able to configure how many links one can shorten per plan (e.g: you can create a plan with unlimited usage which you assign to an Admin, while the rest of the users will have limited accounts on the Default plan).
Even with a Regular license you can create plans, you just can’t set a price for them, but you can freely assign the plans to users however you please.
Regards,
Lunatio.
Thanks for your reply. Do appreciate it!!
Hello gjaindel,
Forgot to mention, we have QR codes too, under the “Menu” -> “Share” option.

Hello naifdos,
1. That’s an issue on our side, we’ve sent an update to fix it. Please re-download the latest version, and upload the /resources/views/admin/settings/ folder on your server, and you’ll be able to copy your cron command.
2. Please have a read at: https://codecanyon.net/comments/28448105 – this applies to any other content you may want to add in the head tag, not only meta descriptions (you can add og tags, twitter tags, etc.).

Lunatio.
Hi, can you add a feature to give users an option for links to go to a custom landing page before redirecting to the URL?
Hello breenden,
Happy new year!
Sorry for the delay, I must have missed this message.
This has been addressed in the past multiple times: https://codecanyon.net/item/phpshort-url-shortener-software/26536593/comments?term=interstitial&from_buyers_and_authors_only=0&order_by=oldest
Can you please clarify what would the use case for such a feature be? I’m open to changes, if there’s a strong use case.
Regards,
Lunatio.

Hello josondoll,
Google Documentation clearly states that you are NOT guaranteed to have an icon shown in the search results, even if you meet all the guidelines (which you do): https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/favicon-in-search
For more details, please contact Google’s Support Team, as we cannot offer support for Google’s own services.

Hi
I purchased it in 2022. However, we never installed it.
1. Now, will it work successfully on a physical server with Ubuntu and “AAPANEL PRO” as a hosting sub-user (aapanel.com)? If so, what features should we pay attention to?
2. For performance and security reasons, can we open each member’s database separately?
Thank you.
3. What do you plan to add in future updates?
4. I have a regular license. Do I have to pay the difference to upgrade to an Extended license?

The product is excellent, purchased yesterday and I managed to install it without any problems, everything worked as described. Congratulations to the developers for the outstanding work!
I have a question: is there a function that allows to hide redirect links? It would be useful to be able to choose between a normal redirect and the possibility to mask the URL so that my address is visible rather than the final redirection one. This would be particularly useful for password-protected links or when I want to hide the destination URL. Thanks again for the assistance!
Then I was wondering if in a few years when my hosting expires and I delete the current domain, can I reset the license? To use it on another one?
Hello alex891,
Sorry, we do not have such functionality and there are no plans to add one, as the web is moving away from iframes, 3rd party cookies, this option won’t be technically possible for the vast majority of websites in the future.
Yes, you are allowed to re-install the software on a different domain and host, as long as you take down your current one, no worries.
Regards,
Lunatio.
do you have documentation on the api?
Hello hellocody,
Yes, the Documentation can be seen in every phpShort installation, in the footer section, by clicking on the “Developers” link, or – alternatively – by going to our live demo’s Developers link:
