problems with URLs to share with google plus

hi
I have sharing on my site for other services and it works great. I wanted to add a google plus share button. so I checked google and I use this code:

<!-- Place this tag where you want the +1 button to render. -->
<div class="g-plusone"></div>

<!-- Place this tag after the last +1 button tag. -->
<script type="text/javascript">
  (function() {
    var po = document.createElement('script'); po.type = 'text/javascript'; po.async = true;
    po.src = 'https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js';
    var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);
  })();
</script>

Open in new window


my site is multi language one. I have no problems sharing in the Hebrew section of the site but cannot share the url in the English section.

an example from the Hebrew section:
http://shtigliz.com/page/about

an example from the English section:
http://shtigliz.com/page/abouten

when I try to share manually I get the same result: the Hebrew one is accepted while the English one I get the message: cannot load the site.

what am I missing here?

You have temporary (302) redirects on the url.  You also have one on the Hebrew as well but it may be that Google already has a copy of the page so it doesn't need to check it again.

i have changed my function code to this, mod rewrite is on.

 header("HTTP:/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
                    header ( "Location: {$location}" ) ;
                    exit();

Open in new window


nothing has changed.

any idea?

maybe google just need time?
Why are you doing a redirect in the first place, you are just redirecting to the same page
Anyway your site is still doing a 302 redirect and a 301 redirect.

I will check that out. but why I have no issue with the same urls with facebook and others?
Off the top of my head I cannot remember how Facebook checks the url but Google checks it every time.
