# How To Manage Settings Of BetterLinks?

[**BetterLinks**](https://betterlinks.io/) comes up with stunning features to create, shorten and analyze the performance of your important links. You can manage **settings of Betterlinks** easily and directly from your dashboard. Follow this step-by-step guideline to manage the settings of BetterLinks:

## **Step 1: Manage Settings Of BetterLinks**

Navigate to **BetterLinks → Settings** from your WordPress dashboard as shown below. You will be able to see the **‘General’** section from there.

From the **General** section, you can manage settings of link direction status, analytics data, redirect type, and more.

Let’s find out what each of the options consists of in detail below:

### **Link Redirection Status**

If it’s in **‘Active’** mode, that means it will fetch the target URL from the .json file and redirect it. Otherwise, it will fetch directly from the database. If you clear the .json file from **wp-content → uploads → betterlinks_uploads,** you will find the link direction status in deactivate mode. You have to activate that again for a faster response.

### **Fetch Analytics Data**

If it is in **‘Active’** mode, that means it will fetch analytics data within a 1-hour interval. By clicking the **‘Refresh Stats’** button, your analytics data will instantly be updated.
