Available on the Super Affiliate plan.
User Links lets your members manage their own Pretty Links from a front-end dashboard on your site. They never see the WordPress admin; they just see a clean page where they can add, edit, and manage their personal links.
What It Does
You designate a page on your site as the User Links dashboard. When a logged-in user visits it, they see a list of their own shortlinks — not yours, not anyone else’s. They can:
- See all their existing links;
- Add new links;
- Edit or delete links they’ve created;
- Search and sort their list.
Your members get a personal, branded link-management experience. You stay in control of who has access and what the dashboard looks like, because it lives on your own site, on a page you own.
Who It’s For
SaaS Platforms
You’re running a tool where customers need shortlinks as part of their workflow — a marketing platform, a sales-engagement tool, a campaign manager. Embedding link management directly into your customer dashboard means they don’t have to leave your product to get a shortlink.
Membership Sites
Your members get value from being able to share trackable links — affiliate marketers, course creators sharing resources, community organizers tracking event RSVPs. Giving each member their own link dashboard turns “you can use Pretty Links” into a tangible perk.
Affiliate Platforms
You’re running an affiliate program. Each affiliate gets their own logged-in dashboard where they can generate trackable links for any landing page, see their click counts, and tweak slugs to fit their channel.
Internal Team Tools
A larger marketing team where each writer, social manager, or campaign owner needs to spin up shortlinks without admin access — User Links makes the admin gatekeeper unnecessary.
What You Control
As the site owner, you decide:
- Which page hosts the dashboard. Pick any page you want — a dedicated
/dashboardpage, a section of your member portal, a tab inside your existing customer area; - What URL prefix user links use. By default, members’ shortlinks use the prefix
u/(so a user link looks likeyoursite.com/u/their-slug), but you can change this to anything that fits your URL scheme; - Who has access. Combine User Links with any membership plugin to gate the dashboard page behind a paywall, role check, or specific membership level.
What the User Sees
A logged-in user on the dashboard page sees:
- A list of their links (and only their links) — pretty URL, target URL, name, created date;
- A button to add a new link;
- A search box and sort controls;
- Edit and delete buttons on each link.
They don’t see your wp-admin. They don’t see the rest of your site’s settings. They just see ihre links, on a page that looks like part of your branded site.
What’s Intentionally Simplified
User Links is a focused, member-facing surface — not a full clone of the admin Pretty Links interface. Some advanced features are deliberately not exposed to front-end users:
- Only 301 and 302 redirect types. No pixel, metarefresh, javascript, cloak, or prettybar redirects from the user dashboard;
- No QR codes. The QR generator is admin-only;
- No split tests. A/B testing is admin-only;
- No advanced features like categories, keyword replacements, or expiration dates.
The result is a clean, learnable dashboard your members can pick up in 30 seconds. If a member needs anything beyond add/edit/delete, they’re talking to you anyway — and you can handle it from the admin.

Where to Start
Setting it up takes two minutes:
- Create a page on your site (or pick an existing one) to host the dashboard.
- Unter Dashboard > Pretty Links > Options > User Links, point the setting at that page.
- Optionally change the URL prefix.
