 * When I post to **X (Twitter)**, the post _shows a link_, but **when I click it,
   it just returns back to X**, instead of going to your website?
 * Apparently, X now **blocks or loops the link** back to itself – it will not allow
   affiliate links or redirects.
 * Is there an answer to this else, TA Plugin is redundant?
 * Many Thanks

 * Hey there,
 * Thanks for your contact!
 * I’ve just posted a link on my Twitter account, then tried to visit the TA link
   through this tweet, but the redirection worked without problems. Perhaps am I
   missing some fundamental actions to reproduce the issue? Could you please let
   me know the exact step-by-step you’re following?
 * Looking forward to your reply. Thanks!
 * All the best,

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for your reply.
 * When I post a ThirstyAffiliates link to X (for example: [https://www.mysite.com/go/cars/](https://www.mysite.com/go/cars/)),
   clicking the link results in X blocking the redirect and preventing it from reaching
   the target.
 * I don’t want to rely on a third-party URL shortener.
   Does ThirstyAffiliates provide
   any built-in alternative link method or redirect type that would avoid this issue?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi [@rik0399](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rik0399/),
 * Sorry for the delayed response!
 * I am still unable to replicate this issue. My TA link posted in Twitter/X works
   just fine, so it shouldn’t be necessary any ‘built-in’ method to make this function
   properly.
 * That leads me to ask the following questions:
    - does it happen to all of your links or only a specific one, or ones?
    - can you please test in an incognito tab or a different browser?
    - you mentioned about redirect types. Perhaps you can try out these options 
      in the Edit screen of the TA links: [https://share.zight.com/12uZ50GO](https://share.zight.com/12uZ50GO)
      and see if any of them help?
 * I am looking forward to your reply.
 * Thanks,
