Is there any development of this plugin ongoing?

Hi there,

Until some days ago the plugin had been doing a great job. Now each time we publish a post it generates several bit.ly shortlinks:

• A correct one with the URL of the post.
• One with the WordPress shortcode. For example domain.ext/?p=1234.
• One with the ID of the post + “-autosave-v1”. For example domain.ext/1234-autosave-v1.
• Another one with the ID of the post + “-revision-v1”. For example domain.ext/1234-revision-v1.

Unfortunately the last one created ist the one with “-revision-v1” which makes the post show this bit.ly link in the shortlink meta-data in the header:
<link rel='shortlink' href='http://bit.ly/xxxxxx' />
So now each time somebody shares the post in the social media, the link is broken, because the shortlink points to an non-existing page.

Any thoughts about this?

P.D. It can be solved using version 0.3 made available by Clifford Paulick here. Please note that you have to edit wp-config.php file and add: define('BITLY_VERIFY', true); in order that it ignores the links that are not working.
With this workaround we have managed to make it work again.
