You never need do_shortcode(), better said, almost never, there are a few cases where do_shortcode() could be appropiate. Note how you could do just: echo shorten_url( ‘http://mylink.com ‘ ); instead of: echo do_shortcode(‘[shorten]http://mylink.com[/shorten]’); Think about shortcodes as PHP functions placeholders; they are intended to be use where you can not execute PHP directly, like the … Read more
I very much doubt you can universally “trick” all plugins without touching at least some of some plugin code, but I think your best bet would be filters on the_permalink and post_link, and maybe pre_post_link. Even if you got that working it would be pretty “heavy”. That is, a lot of processing happens before you … Read more

The first step is the rewrite rule. I’ve also added a rewrite tag so the custom query var will be parsed. You can also use the query_vars filter for this instead. add_action( ‘init’, ‘tipp_rewrite_rule’ ); function tipp_rewrite_rule() { add_rewrite_tag( ‘%trick_nummer%’, ‘([a-zA-Z0-9]+)’ ); add_rewrite_rule( ‘^tipp([a-zA-Z0-9]+)?’, ‘index.php?trick_nummer=$matches[1]’, ‘top’ ); } The second step is to intercept these … Read more
The links in that dialog are made by wp_ajax_wp_link_ajax() (see wp-admin/includes/ajax-actions.php, there is no page on Codex or queryposts.com for that function). To change the links filter ‘page_link’, ‘post_type_link’, ‘post_link’ and maybe ‘attachment_link’ after check_ajax_referer() was called for the action ‘internal-linking’. Okay, sounds a little bit complicated, but it is really easy. 🙂 Plugin on … Read more
