Post URLs not Correct

The plug-in uses the core function get_the_permalink() to source the URL for a post, so it should always be picking up the correct URL, especially if you’re only using it on posts that have already been published.

What other plug-ins do you have active? There could be something else that is manipulating URLs, I imagine.

Thank you for getting back to me! I don’t see anything in our plugin list that manipulates plugins – I did include the list down below.

The post’s structure was updated during an overhaul recently, but that should still point to the correct URL. Links are correct throughout the website using the standard template functions. Just now, I did a test by adding echo get_the_permalink(); to the single.php template and the correct URL, but not the URL that is being tweeted out, displayed. I did this on both the staging environment and briefly on the live to make sure nothing was getting lost in translation. They matched. You can view the staging version here: https://venturepatterns.jennsuzhoy.com/blog/essay/entrepreneurs-solve-chicken-and-egg-problems/)

You can see that the permalink is showing as: https://venturepatterns.jennsuzhoy.com/blog/essay/entrepreneurs-solve-chicken-and-egg-problems

But when we Tweet this same post, the URL that goes out is: https://venturepatterns.com/uncategorized/entrepreneurs-solve-chicken-and-egg-problems/

You can see the Tweet here: https://twitter.com/VenturePatterns/status/1334263393210028034

Thank you so much for your help!

Do you have a URL shortener selected with WP to Twitter?

No, we are not using a URL shortener.

Hmm. If you were using a URL shortener, I’d suggest you try disabling the option to store URLs (check “Always request a new short URL for Tweets”); as that option can sometimes result in out of date URLs.

Let me clarify your process: you’re using the ‘Tweet Now’ button to send Tweets for posts that are already published and visible. Is that correct? So in all cases, the information for that post is already saved when you open the post to send the Tweet.
