Problem with jetpack publicize

Thank you for taking the time to start a new thread, I appreciate it!

I’m going to open with a stupid question, so I apologize in advance, but is the plugin generating any shortlinks at all? When you click the “Get Shortlink” button on your edit post screen, is it returning a Bitly link?

Yes, the button and the bitly-shortlink are shown after I clicked “Save” or “Publish”

Well, not such an easy day for me then. ?? Can’t say I didn’t try.

Are there any other plugins that may even remotely be interacting with the shortlinks/permalinks in any way?

Here’s an odd experiment, if you’re game. Could you try installing v1.0.1 and see if that works with JetPack? I’m pretty positive I learned my lesson on what happened there, but just out of curiousity…

With 1.0.1 I didn’t even got the shortlink generated. I reupdated to 2.3.0 and created a post again!

You can see the publicized post at Google+ here: https://plus.google.com/103918084373134469653/posts/65SvSDsmQeg
And here’s the generated bitly link: https://bit.ly/1l90haB

That’s new. The other people were having issues with it pulling the “internal” shortlink (the same as if you had no rewrite rules set up, using the query string). Yours is actually getting the rewritten permalink.

My current answer is: ummm.

My next suggestion, again if you’re game, is to see if you add the following to a post or page template (whatever you have authorized to generate Bitly links, could be a custom post type, etc):

<?php the_shortlink(); ?>

Is the resulting link a Bitly link or the same as what you see on Google+?

Hi! I added a comment in the template, so your code is displayed after the </article> tag! You can take a look at it here:

As you can see, the code output is

<!-- Short <a rel="shortlink" href="https://bit.ly/1q49sRI" title="Just a Bitly-Test">Dies ist der Kurzlink.</a> -->

but the Google+ Post is again leading to the original URL:

//EDIT
I temporarily deactivated all plugins except Jetpack and Bit.ly, created a new post and was still getting the wrong link in the google post!

Interesting… I tried it with all publishing services I’m using (google, facebook, twitter) and got the following:

– Twitter attaches the bitly link to the message
– Facebook attaches the bitly link to the message, but does not use the bitly link as post-link
– Google does not attaches the bitly link to the message and does not use the bitly link as post link

When I’m using the jetpack wp.me url shortener it’s the same so I would say it’s not a wp-bitly problem, but a problem with jetpack! ?? Thank you anyway ??

I’ll write it here as soon as I got the solution!

Interesting discovery, and even more awesome that you went through the process to find it.

If you don’t mean I’d be interested in what the Jetpack team comes up with, please keep us updated!

To me, it looks like Facebook and Google are doing that when I’m not posting myself but through the API. Perhaps they see that the bitly-Link is givin a HTTP Response “Permanently Moved” so they show the new link…

I just decided I don’t need shortlinks ^^ Too much problems, to less advantages to me at the moment!
