# [Plugin: WP Socializer] Twitter Button Permalinks?

 * This is a terrific plugin you have released – the best and most flexible of the
   social plugins I’ve tested.
 * I noticed one issue, which I’m wondering if you can change/fix, or perhaps there
   is a setting I missed. Also one suggestion.
 * 1. Twitter Button function: The Twitter button (not the retweet button) that 
   is selectable in the Social Buttons menu uses the WordPress post ID#, instead
   of the permalinks. Can you change it to use the permalinks? I noticed the other
   buttons, like FB use permalinks. For users, it can be confusing, in terms of 
   whether they are linking to the correct page (Twitter shortens now anyway).
 * 2. Suggestion: This is a matter of taste, but you may want to implement it. I
   suggest a “no count” option for the Google +1 drop down (in the placement menu).
 * Thanks for the terrific plugin…

 * Hello, Thanks for using my plugin. I am happy that it helped you so much.
 * 1. I enabled the “short url” for twitter giving space for article “title”. If
   you want bit.ly shortening, then enter the bitly details in the “Settings” page.
 * If you want the full post url, then do the following.
    – Open wp-socializer/wp-
   socializer.php – In the line 786, replace `{s-url}` with `{url}` Thats all.
 * 2. Nice idea Ill add it in the forth coming version.

 * Hi,
 * I’ve added the biy.ly details but it isn’t using the bit.ly links. Is this because
   I am adding the buttons using shortcodes?
 * thanks

 * [@rlparker81](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rlparker81/): Bitly will be
   used by Twitter buttons of the “16px and the 32px” social bookmarking buttons.
   The retweet buttons don’t use bitly for shortening URLs.

 * ok. Is there anyway to get the retweet buttons to use the perma-link instead 
   of /blog/?p=11156 ?

 * Hi, if you mean
 * If you want the full post url, then do the following.
    – Open wp-socializer/wp-
   socializer.php – In the line 786, replace {s-url} with {url} Thats all.
 * I tried that but it hasn’t made any difference

 * @ rlparker81,
 * With version 2.4.5 open wp-socializer/wp-socializer.php and in the line 1571 
   you need to replace {s-url} with {url} so it looks like this:
 * `'url' => 'http://twitter.com/home?status={de-title}%20-%20{url}%20{twitter-username}',`
 * Then it will show the permalink instead of the page-id..

 * Vaakash, thank you for the great plugin. I am hoping you consider using this 
   url convention as the default in the future.
 * When using the social buttons paramaters, setting url in a shortcode or in php
   doesn’t work with twitter, it only returns the current post’s link in shortcode.
   In other words, it can’t be overridden with parameters.
 * Changing s-url to url, it now works perfectly to use something like
 * `[wpsr_socialbts services="facebook,twitter,email" url="http://www.link.com" 
   title="my title" excerpt="my excerpt" type="32px"]`
 * It would be great to not have to change the core plugin code to do this so it
   will be update friendly. Appreciate the consideration, thanks!

 * Is it possible to add an option to select which URL should be used. I see three
   valuable choices:
 * FULL, that is, full url as in permalink: {url}
    SHORT, that is, the url based
   on post ID: {s-url} TINY, that is, an url based on TinyURL (or similar service):{
   t-url}
 * TINY is great for Twitter whereas FULL is better for FaceBook.
