Like many plugins that we want to use, we have to install them within our WordPress website.

To find the Pretty Link Plugin, access your website dashboard and click on the plugins tab.



As soon as you click on that tab, it should show you all of the plugins that you downloaded and installed for your site.

What you want to do from here, is simply go to the add new plugin that could be found at the top of the page, and click that tab.

Like so:



Once clicked, you'll be brought to the page where you could download and activate new plugins for your site.

Just head off to the top right corner of the page, and you'll see the box where you could search for plugins.

In that box, enter "Pretty Link" and it should pull up the plugin we are looking for.

I have a picture below to help you visually see what it is we're looking for.


Once you found the plugin, simply "Install", then "Activate" the plugin.

Follow along on the next page for further guidance.

Don't do it with Amazon. Make sure you read the terms of service.https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/help/operating/agreement

Here is what is says:
The links must properly use the special “tagged” link formats we provide and comply with this Agreement (“Special Links”)

They want it to be obvious that you are sending the user to Amazon and that won't work with pretty link. I also read they have their own Url shortener. Please check with each affiliate program to make sure you are not violating their policies.

Yes I've read there term, but so far so good on my end. This is just a simple plugin for everything else that people want to hide. My Amazon link was just an example. Thanks for your feedback.

Do you recommend upgrading or just going with free version?

The Free version is fine :)

I know amazon now shortens links for you as well now, which looks more clean and presentable.

But for other links that you want to hide, pretty link is easy to use and lets you name the link whatever.

Let me know if you may ever need help with anything else, I'll be more than happy to lend a hand :)
