Facebook is adding clid, which prevents redirects from working
-
This plugin is fantastic and we use it all the time! Thanks in advance for considering this request.
Facebook seems to be adding click tracking code to URLs that prevents them from being properly redirected. Here’s an example: https://earthworks.org/NM-Enforcement?fbclid=IwAR3D8YoGNZrKzIZZsHHuwwxGRVOrB0t5oRbvYbY7fytDax3kTdVGkdxhlHU
This link works: https://earthworks.org/NM-Enforcement
Is there a way for the Redirection plugin to ignore the URL string?Thanks!

Wow, I was looking for a similar thing. I had set up redirects from
/2017/01/01/thing/=>/thing/using the regular expressions I found at this support page.Everything worked fine until I had a look at my search console logs. All the posts that had been previously shared on social media with UTM parameters at the end of the URL like
?utm_content=buffer40047&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bufferapp.com&utm_campaign=buffer/had stopped working and giving users a 404 error.I badly want to test out the alpha version but I’m not sure if I would want to take the risk at this time. I’ll better wait for the stable release. And I’m really glad to hear that the ignore query parameters feature is coming. Thanks, John!
