Links in social media
-
Hi!
I’m new to websites and I’m struggling to understand why I can’t link to my website pages in my social media accounts.The original link might look like:
https://www.yeslance.com/faktureradittprojektgratis/But when I put a link to it on LinkedIn or Facebook, it turns out like this:
https://lnkd.in/etfysxfCould you help me figure out what’s wrong?
The site I need help with is http://www.yeslance.com. It is not hosted by WordPress.com or connected with Jetpack. This site is not linked to my WordPress.com account.

Hi,
It looks like your site is using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but is hosted with another webhost.
We’re only able to provide support for WordPress websites that are hosted by us here at WordPress.com. For help with a WordPress site hosted elsewhere you’ll need to ask over at the WordPress.org forums:

Depending on the level of support that is included with your hosting plan, your webhost’s support team may also be able to assist.
If you want to know more about the differences between WordPress.com and the open-source WordPress software you can read this article:

However, generally, social sites use link shortening to save space in light of character limits. Twitter is a good example of that. There are also a lot of folks out there who believe that shorter links look more professional and trustworthy. But I suppose that is a matter of opinion.
