Sharing via VKontakte and oal.lu address

Awara_Marketers

Hi,

I have the next issue: when I share an article via VKontakte I see oal.lu address instead of my website address in such post (as I understand this oal.lu address is required for tracking people who share a content from my web site). So question: can this be fixed some how so after a sharing there will be my website address instead of oal.lu address?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

BR, Alex

Hello,

what you can do is add the tag data-shorten-urls="false"

<div class="oas_box oas_box_btns_lfnm" data-shorten-urls="false"> <span class="oas_btn oas_btn_facebook" title="Share On Facebook"></span> <span class="oas_btn oas_btn_twitter" title="Share On Twitter"></span> <span class="oas_btn oas_btn_google_plus" title="Share On Google"></span> <span class="oas_btn oas_btn_linkedin" title="Share On LinkedIn"></span> <span class="oas_btn oas_btn_email" title="Share On Email"></span> </div>

For WordPress you unfortunately need to modify the plugin.

You need to edit this file in the plugin directory:
/public/class-oa-social-sharing-icons-public.php

Locate this line:
$social_sharing_block .= '<span class="oas_box oas_box_' . $display_size . ' oas_box_' . $sharing_block_class . '"'.( ! empty ($disable_og_tags) ? ' data-read-og-tags="false"' : '').'>';

And change it to this:
$social_sharing_block .= '<span class="oas_box oas_box_' . $display_size . ' oas_box_' . $sharing_block_class . '" data-shorten-urls="false"'.( ! empty ($disable_og_tags) ? ' data-read-og-tags="false"' : '').'>';

In the next version of the plugin we will add an option in the admin menu to change it there!
