I know, but the function is not user friendly as I already trapped into it multiple times.
This is fustrating…I’m talking about hiding settings from the user with this advanced setting. Is not user friendly.
Thanks Alex,
that is doing the trick. But it is under advanced settings and this was lost during one upgrade I think.
I still believe that this (advanced setting) is a very bad idea to have it in this way.Best,

GDv2 cat permalinks are different from GDv1
1) From what concept to what concept will it change?
2) In a migration case what effect does this have for the crawlers? Redirect? Or thousands of 404s?
Where is “as intended” defined?
great. My intention here is to encourage the users to deal more with what they do and how they are sharing information on social media.
The usecase of a client who likes to import his own information he has already shared on facebook or tripadvisor is different to the usecase that a user of the directory likes to import a new place he found on facebook and “copy” the information into the directory.
The interpretation of the situation is up to the owner of the directory.
I totally agree with your first post.As Mark said, this is intended for use to pre populate your add listing for with your own business data, it does not matter if the site claims certain copyrights, you are still the copyright holder.
The original copyright is okay. But you are granting the right to facebook:
Specifically, when you share, post, or upload content that is covered by intellectual property rights (like photos or videos) on or in connection with our Products, you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your content (consistent with your privacy and application settings). This means, for example, that if you share a photo on Facebook, you give us permission to store, copy, and share it with others (again, consistent with your settings) such as service providers that support our service or other Facebook Products you use.
For me critical is: transferable, sub-licensable, modify etc.
If I like this, not really. My point is not to use the services without studying the ToSs very deeply.
If you put a tripadvisor url into facebook post it still pulls the info even though it might be against the TOS (depending how you look at it).
I had a quick call with a internet lawyer company right now. Do you (AyeCode Ltd) have discussed this with a lawyer?
His quick and not complete opinion was not to use such a service without asking to make sure what the exact meaning is. For now he advised not to use it.Stiofan: Could you please contact facebook and tripadvisor about this function and ask about their opinion? I think this makes it more clear for all.

To be clear here. I strongly recommend who likes to use social media (automated or not) to check the legal things including the ToSs.
Then it is up to you what you like/allow to do on your sites.My decision is:
– I will push information from GD to MY facebook accounts. This is still working with a simple facebook app via the offical API using the GD social media addon.
– I will not allow to scap any information from facebook or any other social media company (via API or by bypassing the API). This is all disabled on my sites.Populating information to Facebook is still working with GDv1 plugin. To keep it working you don’t need to get into the approval step. Under what conditions and regulations you can push information to the service is also regulated by the ToS. You should be aware if you use such services. Typically, this is fine.
Scraping information from the sites like Facebook or TripAdvisor is also regulated via ToSs, but they do not separate between your own content or public available content.
For the copyright you should also check the ToS of their service, because when you are publishing content on their service you are granting rights to them. But it is written in the ToSs.
The fact is that it is not legal as it is against the ToS. I’m not saying it is illegal at all.
I see difference between the approach here and your mentioned facebook “linking”. Facebook is linking and keeping the link to the origin of the data. This is still present to the user. And reading the ToS for this service is helpful.
Would you allow visitors to violate your ToS? If so, why do you have one?
Overall it is a calculation of risks, but for me as a business owner no chance. I will never ever use something like this.
But it is the same when you are speeding with your car. It is not legal, but will you be cought?For me your wording like “use at your own risk” is misleading for the users. You should be more clear that this is violating ToSs.
Nope, it is not changing. As I said not working.
I have set the place on another continent but the offset is not changing.
Also on your own test server there is a quite weird behavor clicking on a category.
If I click on it I don’t get any results.
Also on tags.At the moment you have “Standard” permalinks. But just click on a detail page any category. This link is not what it should like or that you are getting the correct information.
This is quite interesting. Your new solution is less flexible as the old one. You officially sold it.
It is a step beackwards for me.A CSS hide is a bad solution. A crawler will recognize it and it might influence the scoring. This is not an option.
Overriding files is not the approach of WP for changing functions and behavior. For this you should use hooks. Please consider hooks for the customer requirements.
I did a new one because this might be a different problem. You said in the past not to misuse a post.
? I added there already how to reproduce. Is still the same…
