Changing Domain Names

  • I’m doing a redesign of a site and including this plug-in. It currently does not exist on the live site so there are no counts available. On our staging environment, the share counts do not show because of the URL obviously. I’m moving the live site from one domain to another so in the end is the same problem. Is there a way to preserve the share count? If the count it stored in the database, could I install and activate the plugin on the current live site, let it gather the share counts into the database, and export that somehow?

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    The shares count is indeed stored in the database, however it’s updated from the social networks automatically. Social network works only by URL, this means if you changed the website URL or installed an SSL (https) you will lose shares count because social network will treat all links as a different link other than the ones shared before.

    Let me know if I can help you in any other way.
