* As you can see because of 301 redirect (don’t know where it is set) to https
this app shows 0 shares and likes. On http version of this share link it has
about 89.
* How to change that?
* The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhow-to-fix-redirects-http-https%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

3. Update rel=”canonical”
The previous step left you with all your shares to zero. By now you might be thinking how these steps are really helping you in getting your shares back. Bear with me as you are closer and closer to getting your social shares count.
The next step in solving the social share loss situation is to alter the content you are showing to Facebook’s crawler. What you need to do, for Facebook only, is to make sure that the rel= canonical tag is placed, but not the way you would think of. It’s exactly the other way around: you need to make the http version the preferred one, just like in the example below:
1
has to be
1
```

* Hello [@matrixpoland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matrixpoland/)
* You can use the following filter to modify your canonical URLs to use HTTPS:
* ```
add_filter( 'rank_math/frontend/canonical', function( $canonical ) {
$canonical = preg_replace( '/^https:/i', 'http:', $canonical );
return $canonical;
});
```
* Or the other way around. Hope that helps. Thank you.

* Yes, please put this code in the theme’s functions.php file after taking the
backup of your site.

* Circular Redirect
We could not resolve the canonical URL because the redirect
path contained a cycle.
* This warning is after copying this code to functions.php
* Sharing debugger still shows only https likes and shares. No http counts

* Hello [@matrixpoland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matrixpoland/)
* The redirect is happening because Facebook follows the URL it finds in the `rel
="canonical"` tag or in the `og:url` tag. Here’s a breakdown of the requests
Facebook makes:
1. It fetches the `http` version of the page, as instructed.
2. Your server responds with 301 redirect to the `https` version. 3. Facebook
fetches the `https` version, where it finds the canonical tag with the `http`
URL in it. 4. We’re back to step 1.
* The only way to solve this issue is to remove the HTTP to HTTPS redirection on
your site, however, we would advise against doing that, because it might result
in duplicate content issues.
* Hope that helps.

* The provided value for ‘og:url’ might be incorrect.
The provided property ‘

checking the provided value

* Hello,
* The difference is possibly due to the internal cache of the sharing plugin you
are using, WP Socializer. It updates the like count intermittently, and it is
possible that when it fetches the count from Facebook, it ignores the response
when it is “zero like”, so it may only update when your new `https` version gets
its first like.
* We would advise contacting the author of the WP Socializer plugin about the discrepancy
between the numbers.
* Hope that helps.
