 * Hi!
 * I have a redirection set up for my old posts, for example [http://www.thelazybroccoli.com/recipe/easiest-vegan-cream-mushroom-soup/](http://www.thelazybroccoli.com/recipe/easiest-vegan-cream-mushroom-soup/)
   has been redirected to [http://www.thelazybroccoli.com/easiest-vegan-cream-mushroom-soup/](http://www.thelazybroccoli.com/easiest-vegan-cream-mushroom-soup/).
 * This recipe did pretty well on Pinterest with over 3k+ shares, but it doesn’t
   show up in the counts. I suspect it’s the redirection because the pin was directed
   to the old link with the /recipe/ in the URL. Do you have any idea how to recover
   the shares that are pointing to the old URL?
 * Thanks in advance!
 * Elizabeth

 * Hi Elizabeth,
 * Our plugin depends on the official Pinterest API to fetch number of Pins for 
   a particular url, which is separate for both the urls you have mentioned above:
   
   You can see number of pins yourself by visiting following links for both of these
   urls: [http://api.pinterest.com/v1/urls/count.json?callback=pin_count&url=http://www.thelazybroccoli.com/easiest-vegan-cream-mushroom-soup/](http://api.pinterest.com/v1/urls/count.json?callback=pin_count&url=http://www.thelazybroccoli.com/easiest-vegan-cream-mushroom-soup/)
   [http://api.pinterest.com/v1/urls/count.json?callback=pin_count&url=http://www.thelazybroccoli.com/recipe/easiest-vegan-cream-mushroom-soup/](http://api.pinterest.com/v1/urls/count.json?callback=pin_count&url=http://www.thelazybroccoli.com/recipe/easiest-vegan-cream-mushroom-soup/)
   We will include option to recover share counts based on post redirection in our
   add-on [https://www.heateor.com/recover-social-share-counts/](https://www.heateor.com/recover-social-share-counts/)
   within couple of days, if you can wait.
