 * It seems Facebook has changed things on their end where rather than linking directly
   to a shared URL, you hit [http://l.facebook.com/l.php](http://l.facebook.com/l.php)
   first and then are redirect to the shared URL.
 * This is causing some problems with the plugin since “[http://www.facebook.com&#8221](http://www.facebook.com&#8221);
   no longer exists in the link. Instead this gets appended to the front of the 
   URL.
 * If you manually try to visit [https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=blahblahblah](https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=blahblahblah)
   it goes no where and a 500 error is served up.
 * Is anyone else having this kind of trouble?
 * PS I’d share an example of my problem, but unfortunately I do not have a public
   link available.

 * I ended up modifying the plugin to eliminate the l.facebook.com URLs altogether.
   They require a profile hash key that isn’t supplied through a WordPress site (
   as far as I can tell).
 * The `str_replace()` ran on line 117 & 118 didn’t make sense, so I overrode it.
 * `$desc = str_replace( 'http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=', '', $block->get_description());`
