## Maelezo

Facebook, Google(adwords), Microsoft Advertising is now adding a fbclid, gclid, 
msclkid argument to all the shared URLs respectively. Each visitor/user now comes
from Facebook with a unique URL, because of this cache and various other functionality
breaks on WordPress site.

Specially redirect rules get broken and pages show 404 error sometimes.

This plugin scans the incoming url for fbclid, gclid and redirect to the url after
removing the querystring.

## Installation

 * Upload the directory ‘/remove-social-id/’ to your WP plugins directory and activate
   from the Dashboard of the main blog.

Great. I couldn’t find it in the Wordpress App store inside my site. I don’t know
why. But uploading direct from here is fine!

This broke my website on WP 6.1, too many redirects error, publisher expects users
to be programmers and debug it themselves. Too bad since it would be really nice
to have this feature.

Worked out of the box. Resolved an issue where the additional parameters that Facebook
adds to your shared URL would redirect our articles to the homepage. Big Thanks!
