    If you click the Facebook share button on my posts from a phone (either my Samsung Android or my wife’s iPhone), it tries to bring up Facebook in the phone’s web browser instead of going to the Facebook app. I’ve heard this is easily corrected by changing the link to fb://facebook.com… instead of https://… Can you change this in the plugin? Can I change this myself in some setting?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi stevation,

    If I put fb://facebook.com, the share functionality would stop for those who don’t have facebook application on there mobile. That’s why I use https:// which work for everyone.

    I think most of the users already have facebook app installed on their mobile phones so it would be better to share links with their app than log in with web browser to share post.
