 * We’ve moved our site from http to https, but this unfortunately reset lots of
   Facebook share counters for posts and pages.
 * Is there a way to have this plugin calculate the shares from multiple URLs for
   a single page since Facebook treats them as completely different pieces of content?
 * Essentially looking to take the shares for [http://www.example.com/my-content/](http://www.example.com/my-content/),
   add it to the shares for [https://www.example.com/my-content/](https://www.example.com/my-content/)
   and then display that number.

 * Hi aswhippie,
 * I’m very sorry to hear of your share count losses.
 * I experienced the same when switching simplesharebuttons.com to https, I promptly
   raised a ticket with them and they claimed it was a ‘different URL, and therefore
   a correct share count’.
 * I coded the plugin to display a total of http + https but the http counts ended
   up dropping off entirely a few days later. In total simplesharebuttons.com lost
   ~3.5k shares 🙁
 * Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to retain your previously earned
   share counts, apologies.
 * David
