Title: FB Posts Using Previous Domain Name? Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # FB Posts Using Previous Domain Name? * Resolved [Newfound](https://wordpress.org/support/users/precipitatejournal/) * (@precipitatejournal) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fb-posts-using-previous-domain-name/) * Hi there! * I changed my site’s domain name from hothouseblog.org to hothousemagazine.org recently. Everything is working tip-top; however, Wordbooker is still posting hothouseblog.org URLs. It’s pretty weird. I’ve unlinked and relinked my FB account as well as deleted and reinstalled Wordbooker, neither of which fixes this issue. Can you please help? * Cheers, * Daniel * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordbooker/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordbooker/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Author [Steve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steveatty/) * (@steveatty) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fb-posts-using-previous-domain-name/#post-4322278) * As Wordbooker gets all its blog url information from the WordPress Database settings it suggests that you’ve not fully moved your blog to the new domain – there used to be some documentation on it somewhere * Thread Starter [Newfound](https://wordpress.org/support/users/precipitatejournal/) * (@precipitatejournal) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fb-posts-using-previous-domain-name/#post-4322320) * I’ve just gone through my database and made sure the old domain has been fully swapped with the new one and the trouble is still occurring. I’m really stumped here as all my other programs that involve link sharing, like AddThis, are working. Is there anything you might could do to help? * Plugin Author [Steve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steveatty/) * (@steveatty) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fb-posts-using-previous-domain-name/#post-4322335) * Wordbooker uses: * `$url = get_permalink($post_id);` * to get its urls – it does not store any urls for a post at all. * It could be something odd to do with permalinks – have you tried changing the settings for the blog, saving then and then changing them back. I know that some versions of WordPress didn’t regenerate its own stored permalinks (stored in the GUID field in the posts table) when you changed things. * In the diagnostic messages when you post what domain does it show? * Thread Starter [Newfound](https://wordpress.org/support/users/precipitatejournal/) * (@precipitatejournal) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fb-posts-using-previous-domain-name/#post-4322399) * Changed the permalinks and still the problem persists. * In the diagnostic messages, the hyperlinked list of posts reflects the new domain. Even in the Support section, the domain is listed as the new domain. * I did notice that when I deleted and reinstalled Wordbooker, that the original settings were already magically applied; no reconnection necessary. Is there a way for me to completely remove Wordbooker and its settings (or wherever it’s storing its settings?). Not sure if it’d actually help, but might be a good thing to try. * Plugin Author [Steve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steveatty/) * (@steveatty) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fb-posts-using-previous-domain-name/#post-4322403) * Wordbooker does not store anything to do with the domain in any of its settings, all links are dynamically created. * In the code that renders the diagnostic message the same call is used: * `$hyperlinked_post = get_permalink($row->post_id) . '">'. apply_filters('the_title', get_the_title($row->post_id))` * So if it works there it should work everywhere. * Are these new posts or existing ones? * Wordbooker will retain its settings even if you un-install it as it does not delete the blog_meta associated with itself when you de-install, nor does it drop the tables. You can manually drop the tables (which will destroy any stored sessions along with any posting history) and manually delete the meta data associated with the plugin * Thread Starter [Newfound](https://wordpress.org/support/users/precipitatejournal/) * (@precipitatejournal) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fb-posts-using-previous-domain-name/#post-4322405) * Some insight into the issue: * Checked the Wordbooker links on FB and saw that it uses the wp.me short links. So I went on that post in the admin and looked at the shortlink to find that … drumroll… my wp.me short links are still reflecting the old domain “hothouseblog” instead of the new “hothousemagazine” domain. * My general settings have the correct domain. So, at this point I am even more confused as to why my short links are still clinging to the old domain when everything else is working like a charm. * Plugin Author [Steve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steveatty/) * (@steveatty) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fb-posts-using-previous-domain-name/#post-4322407) * OK – so you can work round that by explicitly setting Wordbooker NOT to use short links. * You might have to go to your WP account and change your blog settings there… * Thread Starter [Newfound](https://wordpress.org/support/users/precipitatejournal/) * (@precipitatejournal) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fb-posts-using-previous-domain-name/#post-4322413) * Wonderful–thanks for all of your help! I’ve contacted JetPack and they should be able to take care of the rest. 🙂 * Plugin Author [Steve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/steveatty/) * (@steveatty) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fb-posts-using-previous-domain-name/#post-4322417) * Looking at the wp.me code it must work from your WP account on their servers. I suspect you might need to remove your blog from it and re-register it on the new domain.
