Hello,

When I recommend an article to FB it works fine except that the link created in FB has %2d instead of / .

exemple: When I clik on FB it returns:
vo2cycling.fr/index.php?%2Ftest-deffort-...s-watts-pma-vma.html
instead of:
vo2cycling.fr/index.php?/test-deffort-se...s-watts-pma-vma.html

For your infirmation, I use SH404SEF !

Thanks for your support ;-)

Ivan,
I'm a bit confused. I've never actually seen that problem before, and the results I'm getting with some testing are equally strange. Facebook has a URL Debug tool, which is great for homing in on what's happening in these situations. When I put the 'good' URL in, above, with slashes, I see a line I've never seen before called "URL for Likes:". That URL has the 'bad' URL.
developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/o...s-watts-pma-vma.html

I'm not sure where that URL for Likes setting is coming from. Again, I've never seen it, and there's no tag like that that I'm aware of. Even stranger, if you use the debug tool for the 'bad' URL, you get the following info:
developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/o...s-watts-pma-vma.html

At the bottom of that, you can see that the page is being redirected from the %2F thing to the / version (the canonical version is in bold). Still though, it seems like Facebook isn't using the right information.

Can you let me know:
* Do all your pages have this problem, or is it just this specific page?
* Were you using Like buttons on your site before JFBConnect?
* Did you enable sh404SEF before or after JFBConnect was installed?

Not sure what the answer will be, but we'll do what we can to help you get to the bottom of it.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello Alex,

Thanks for your time ;-)

Can you let me know:
* Do all your pages have this problem, or is it just this specific page?
Yes all pages are concerned !!!
* Were you using Like buttons on your site before JFBConnect?
No !
* Did you enable sh404SEF before or after JFBConnect was installed?
YES Before. I use SH404SEF since a long time. FYI if I turned off SH404SEF then it works fine !
