# Needs update for WP version 3.5

 * Posted my first post using Social after updating wordpress to 3.5 and it is obvious
   that the plugin needs to be updated.
 * The Broadcast previews were fine but the actual output when broadcast was very
   wrong.
 * The broadcast to FB had no image and the url was the raw internal WordPress URL
 * Example: [http://mysite.org/?post_type=post&p=283](http://mysite.org/?post_type=post&p=283)
 * Here is an screenshot from my FB page:
 * [http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/cadfile/helpsupport/IHumanismissue.png](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/cadfile/helpsupport/IHumanismissue.png)
 * Still works but looks ugly more than the wordpress generated one the plugin was
   using before the update
 * The twitter broadcast was also messed up. There is a huge blank spot before the
   url and it is missing the “[http://&#8221](http://&#8221); again the link works
   but it looks ugly and taking away several characters from the tweet
 * Here is a screenshot of the tweet
 * [http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/cadfile/helpsupport/ihumtwitter.png](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b128/cadfile/helpsupport/ihumtwitter.png)
 * Again the plugin does work for me the links work but the output is really ugly
   and defeats the purpose if I have to manually broadcast the posts.

 * I’m not sure this is directly related to 3.5. I ran into the same problem (at
   least the Facebook one) a few weeks ago while still on 3.4. At the time I figured
   it was a temporary glitch at Mailchimp, because it seemed to fix itself, but 
   now I’m not so sure.
 * Did you recently add or upgrade Jetpack? There have been a number of problems
   where it’s conflicted with other plugins.
 * In particular, I had to disable a couple of features recently added to Jetpack
   that conflicted with ShareThis. Now that I think about it, it was around the 
   same time I had the problem with Social. It could be that the same features are
   interfering with both plugins, and the fix for the ShareThis conflict — disabling
   the Sharing and Publicize features in Jetpack — took care of both of them.

 * I used the generic Facebook share bookmarklet and the excerpt and url was normal.
   I tried the broadcast twice hours apart and it was messed up both times.
 * Also on the install I have Social I don’t have Jetpack.

 * In my case I don’t have any plugin that I know of that either needs the wp_get_shortlink
   function or uses it. I specifically disabled and removed my previous auto sharing
   plugin to test out Social.
 * Also the links broadcast under 3.4.2 were normal and after updating to 3.5 they
   got ugly.
 * Like I said the links work they just look ugly and unprofessional and I’m disappointed

 * Social is still calling wp_get_shortlink, take it up with WP core…

 * Sorry I misunderstood you at first now I get it. Thanks for the info.
 * Basically the plugin uses the standard call for the shortlink so if the shortlink
   is funky then it isn’t the plugin. Got it.
 * Never filed a bug report for WP before so I get to learn something new
