# Filter Publicize Message

 * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/filter-publicize-message/)
 * I have crawled through the [source code of the Publicize module](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/blob/8aea73ab3223c4055deb62f6400e0e8b9de4b728/modules/publicize/publicize.php).
   I think most of the heavy lifting is done by Jetpack’s servers though.
 * I would like to be able to filter the message that is sent to social networks(
   specifically Google+ in my case). I run a linked list blog, and instead of having
   visitors click back to my blog, it would link directly to my original source 
   url (which, again, is stored in a meta field on each post).
 * Here’s an example:
    The permalink: [http://blog.ryanrampersad.com/2014/09/19/the-state-of-grunt/](http://blog.ryanrampersad.com/2014/09/19/the-state-of-grunt/)
   Google+ link: [https://plus.google.com/+RyanRampersad/posts/gPWGhQUr3iY](https://plus.google.com/+RyanRampersad/posts/gPWGhQUr3iY)
 * The Google+ post points to my blog’s permalink – I would have it instead point
   to the meta field I have stored. My theme and feed are filtered so the “source
   url” is clickable in those mediums, I just can’t figure it out for the publicize
   system.
 * I found a [VIP WordPress document mentioning](http://vip.wordpress.com/documentation/customizing-publicize-sharing-behavior/)`
   wpas_post_url` but nothing I have tried with that filter works, or even makes
   sense – the snippet given is strange.
 * Any help would be great. Thanks!

 * As mentioned in the VIP support doc, you can change the URL used by Publicize
   by defining a custom shortlink thanks to the `pre_get_shortlink` or `get_shortlink`
   filters. That URL doesn’t have to be a shortlink, it can be just about any URL.
 * Let me know if you still experience issues!
