April 2, 20232 yr Community Expert What is the link here in question? Have you had your server provider disable all custom redirects and rewrites?
April 2, 20232 yr Author when there is a link on facebook, people get that. "Have you had your server provider disable all custom redirects and rewrites?" Should I ask them to do that?
April 2, 20232 yr Community Expert Just now, Stan Jensen said: when there is a link on facebook, people get that. We would need an example link. Just now, Stan Jensen said: Should I ask them to do that? Yes. That will help you eliminate anything you’re server is imposing on the software.
April 2, 20232 yr Author wonder what happens if i post a link here? test https://clubadventist.com Edited April 2, 20232 yr by Stan Jensen
April 2, 20232 yr if you want a realistic reproduction...post a link to the Facebook post that has the link that then results in the issue you are seeing.
April 2, 20232 yr Reproduction steps: Go to Facebook Create a post Add the URL above Post the post Click the link Result:
April 2, 20232 yr Let's take FB out of the equation....here's the link they produce: https://clubadventist.com/forums/?fbclid=IwAR21m6WaHbIaXoDb7bFlXMn6da6W5AnNIGV6I6tW0YmLcZIaXlgRyYTP2tI Click it - same issue. Take the long string out of the equation: https://clubadventist.com/forums/?fbclid=1 Same issue. Add that query string to someone else's (who happens to be self-hosted) site URL https://www.ynwa.tv/?fbclid=1 No issue. Let's take that query string out of the equation: https://clubadventist.com/forums/?sausages Same issue. What are the contents of your .htaccess file that you have at the root of your Invision installation? Edited April 2, 20232 yr by Nathan Explosion
April 2, 20232 yr Maybe you have a bad "Friendly URL" installed (in a third-party add-on?) that tries to match all query strings? This would cause an infinite redirect as the FURL would keep redirecting to itself. If you don't have any third-party add-ons, nevermind... Anyway, just a thought.
