Our plugin does not create or alter the URL of the post. It takes it from the standard WordPress function. * If you need to alter the output of that function you need to find the plugin that can do that or get some custom function. * Thread Starter [Taffy-boy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/taffy-boy/) * (@taffy-boy) * [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posting-using-wrong-url/#post-3722641) * Hmmm I do apologise, my mistake ! * But not being a coder I do have trouble fully understanding the php code & terminology. * Having checked the code sheet of my theme, I see that it uses `the_permalink` as opposed to `get_permalink`. This then explains why the correct url displays on the page on mouse over. And if I read this correctly it is because one calls the function from outside the loop yet the other is inside the loop..? * So what I need is some method of using `the_permalink` instead of `get_permalink` hmmm..? * One other thing, I checked through a few of the code sheets of SNAP & found ` get_permalink` in **NextScripts_SNAP.php** & in **inc-cl/di.php**(which is the one I used for testing) * So my question now is, is the url set in the code sheet for each networking / bookmarking site ..? or is there one central place where it is set..? * Thanks Steve… Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) The topic ‘Plugin posting using wrong URL !’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/assets/icon- 256x256.png?rev=1106267) * [NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster](https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/reviews/) ## Tags * [links](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/links/) * [url](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/url/) * 4 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Taffy-boy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/taffy-boy/) * Last activity: [12 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posting-using-wrong-url/#post-3722641) * Status: not resolved
