Description
Facebook is now adding a fbclid argument to all the shared URLs. Each visitor/user now comes from Facebook with a unique URL, because of this cache and various other functionality breaks on WordPress site.
Specially redirect rules get broken and pages show 404 error sometimes.
This plugin scans the incoming url for fbclid and redirect to the url after removing the querystring.
Installation
- Upload the directory ‘/remove-social-id/’ to your WP plugins directory and activate from the Dashboard of the main blog.

This broke my website on WP 6.1, too many redirects error, publisher expects users to be programmers and debug it themselves. Too bad since it would be really nice to have this feature.

Worked out of the box.
Resolved an issue where the additional parameters that Facebook adds to your shared URL would redirect our articles to the homepage.
Big Thanks!
