    AddToAny gets counts directly from supported services, and each service varies in how they handle (or do not handle) permanent 301 redirects, such as from HTTP to HTTPS.

    Right now: Facebook/Google+/LinkedIn usually detect the change and transfer counts within a few weeks. Twitter and Pinterest do not.

    If you’re desperate to preserve old counts, consider changing your og:url and/or canonical meta tags to the old URL as Facebook suggests as a workaround here. For WordPress, either your theme or a plugin handles your Open Graph and other meta tags.
