When using a mobile and trying to share via Facebook, the link gets lost with a error from Facebook: “Your link could not be found”

This is happening because of a bug in Facebook where the mobile site changes the URL to m.facebook.come/sharer.php . A workaround could be to allow the Facebook sharer url to be changed in a simple-share-buttons-adder admin page so we can add a ?m2w parameter to sharer.php.

Hi Tom,

I’m not getting this error – https://ge.tt/9XL7TQC2/v/0

Have you got a link to an example please?

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

1) Find a site with “Simple Share Buttons Adder” installed.
2) On a mobile phone, browse to the site and click the facebook sharer icon.
3) Receive a Error from Facebook.

Maybe it only occurs in the UK?

> Have you got a link to an example please?

This is the url that I’m being redirected to: https://m.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xeniosblog.com%2Fwere-getting-skued%2F&sid=0&referrer=social_plugin&_rdr – if you try it you can see it doesn’t work.

I totally understand this is a Facebook bug, but if we could edit the sharer.php url in the WordPress plugin admin page, we could workaround it.

Strange this is the URL I get redirected to and it works just fine – https://m.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xeniosblog.com%2Finterview-bbc-2-super-rich-us-documentary%2F&sid=0&referrer=social_plugin&_rdr

Interesting, thanks for pointing out that the problem is with the one page I was checking and the other pages seem ok. I’ve no idea why one link works and the other doesn’t but clearly it is not a issue with your plugin so I apologise for wasting your time.

* OK: https://m.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xeniosblog.com%2Finterview-bbc-2-super-rich-us-documentary%2F&sid=0&referrer=social_plugin&_rdr (links to https://www.xeniosblog.com/interview-bbc-2-super-rich-us-documentary/)
* KO: https://m.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xeniosblog.com%2Fwere-getting-skued%2F&sid=0&referrer=social_plugin&_rdr (link not found)
