Hi,
I would like to ask if there’s a method to shorten the link when I want to share a post? Here’s the link to the image:

Thanks!
Maybe try a plugin for this … ?
Try the WordPress.org plugins repository.

As Chris say you will need a plugin for this to happen..but the plugin chris share is not for the twitter API and will not work..
Bitsy.in Share Short Links should do what he need ….https://wordpress.org/plugins/bitsyin-share-short-links/
I would stick with one of the major shortcode providers like bit.ly or even goo.gl …
we use our own YOURLS shortcode system which keeps the shortcodes local.
The plugin I suggested — one of many — does not tie you to ONE plugin service …
so for example — using your own local shortcodes built-in to WP:
◾Nice ID links – http://your_site/123 instead of http://your_site/index.php?p=123
◾Shortcode support (Ver 3.1): Place [shortlink] in your article where you want to display the shortened url.
SO, in this context you could edit the functions file for the theme to possibly put the shortcode where the shortcode would go.
You know — I don’t usually suggest add-ons for the TagDiv themes …
but *THIS* functionality would be an awesome future feature for the themes!!
Radu and co; see the plugin I’ve referenced above; this option for the theme would be super cool!!
Found this the other day.. seems pretty straight forward
