Hi
After the last update my site http://www.centrei.org social integration buttons dont link to the article. Even when I link to the article using a URL it only shows the home page url. Any ideas?

Regards

Dave
Hello David,

I've fixed the Linkedin share for you. It is about the share cache from linkedin itself. To overcome this, you need to clear the URL cache. For facebook, they have their own debugger tool so that we can use it to clear the cache. But for linkedin, we to add something at the end of the URL to make it different. For the share button, I've edit your socialbutton.php so it use a bit different URL. As for the G+, I've tried to share it and it is working just fine: http://screen.stackideas.com/2014-11-13_1116.png . Did I missed anything? Please advise.

Hello David,

I've fixed it for you. The issue is because the cache from Facebook itself. I've cleared the cache using Facebook Debugger. Please give another try.

And they are not even working if I manually post a link in Linked in for example direct to the blog post!

Hello David,

I'm sorry that I missed the other share button. Can you provide us your FTP access? Seems like the issue is came from your URL. If you try to manually share the non-SEF URL, the data is correct. For example, try to share this URL instead: http://www.centrei.org/index.php?option=com_easyblog&view=entry&id=24 . We need to check your files that causing this.
