Filter shared url to restore old share counts
-
Hey!
Great plugin.
I’m using it for all my sites.Recently we relaunched a clients website. With it we changed the URL schema. Also moved some content from a static site with own URL schema into one WP.
Because of this change to the URLs now the share counts show 0 or nothing. Reason is that FB sees the new URL as new content and doesn’t follow the 301.I would like to change the URL that is provided to FB (maybe also other services) to restore the previous like and share count.
For some posts I got the guid data from the old instance and some posts have custom fields containing the old URL.
I need a filter to send the “original” URL to fetch the right number and also let users like the right OG object.Have seen you don’t like the idea of a URL filter from this post https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/filter-for-home_url/. Hope this use case is convincing.
Greetings
