Remove WP Shortlink

[theKatrinaM]

For some odd reason wp.me is redirecting back to an old domain that was changed 5 months ago and is expired. I checked in my database on myPHPadmin and wp-config and they both have the current url. So I used this code to remove it but nothing happens.

remove_action( ‘wp_head’, ‘wp_shortlink_wp_head’);

I did some more googling and found this code

remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_shortlink_wp_head', 10, 0 ); // removing the default shortlink
add_action( 'wp_head', 'bilty_shortlink_head'); // adding the new bit.ly shortlink
 
function bilty_shortlink_head() {
	global $post;
	$shortURL = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'bitlyURL', true);
	if(!empty($shortURL)) {
		echo '<link rel="shortlink" href="'.$shortURL.'" />'."\n";
	} else {
		echo '<link rel="shortlink" href="'.get_bloginfo('url').'?p='.$post->ID.'" />'."\n";
	}
}

still the wp.me links are generating. Has anyone had success in removing wp.me shortlink?

I see you are using Jetpack. See if the Shortlinks are enabled/activated. If so, deactivate.

I swear JetPack changes so much I don't know anything about it anymore. Thank you @Anitac, I still find it weird for it to use an old domain.

Ohhhh you know what. If you registered the domain name under your WordPress.com account to attach Jetpack to the site - then you used the old domain. Put in a ticket to Jetpack. They can fix it for you.
