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, gclid 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. ## FAQ None at this time ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2dcf25684af92bd5dd4ffbf025fe0c41b798e255e433fe4b382465121ba3092f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works: straightforward and efficient](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-straightforward-and-efficient/)󠁿 [kentaiwan98](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kentaiwan98/) July 28, 2025 2 replies Great.
