    Facebook Link sharing not working properly

    I have been using AddThis for months now. It works great but today I noticed that the Facebook button does not link from the page that it is suppose to. It jumps to the default/home page. Even if I copy the actual link from the address bar and go to Facebook, Facebook automatically defaults the link to the home page.

    This worked fine in the past and I have not made changes to any of the base pages in months. All of the other social sharing links work well.

    Example:

    I share this link



    Facebook defaults it to this


    Is this a Facebook issue or a new issue from the recent update to the Miva software?

    Last time I shared anything on our Facebook from our website was late August - Since then something has gone goofy. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Code:
    Code:
    <!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->            <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:url="http://www.nightoptics.com/no/product/&mvta:product:code;.htm" addthis:title="&mvt:product:name;" style="font-size:12px; float:right; margin:3px 0 0 0; padding:0;"> <a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;pubid=ra-4d7a4f4429d2eb0c" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a> <span class="addthis_separator">|</span> <a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a> <a class="addthis_button_twitter"></a> <a class="addthis_button_email"></a> <a class="addthis_button_print"></a> </div>
                <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true};</script> 
                <script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-4d7a4f4429d2eb0c"></script> 
                <!-- AddThis Button END -->

      Have you checked the Facebook url lint tool on your pages? It may be able to help identify things you may need to change with og tags for your pages which you can add to your header to make sure Facebook pulls the information you want it to for your pages. We use both AddThis and Facebook and haven't seen anything weird like you are experiencing. The Lint Tool is located herehttp://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
      Hope this is helps!

        Canonical linking was forwarding the Facebook URL back to the homepage. Problem solved.
