Remlee dela Cruz 1 Site URL redirect doesn't work if there is a query string e.g. fbclid
Hi, we are using site.com that re-directs on our website for links such as /join-us to /s/join-us or /donate to /s/donate.
When entering the link in Facebook, it automatically adds a query string to the URL (e.g. fbclid=IwAR2BRa0DKzZY-2q4p4S8JVoEy2jHTufPlAL-cGtE2Xs1v6rlaGcIf_DuYbA) and this is not re-directed correctly. Is there a way of forcing redirections to ignore the query string?
e.g. https://www.company.org.au/join-now?fbclid=IwAR2BRa0DKzZY-2q4p4S8JVoEy2jHTufPlAL-cGtE2Xs1v6rlaGcIf_DuYbA DOES NOT REDIRECT
https://www.company.org.au/join-now DOES REDIRECT
Appreciate your help. Thanks!

URLs shared on Facebook will automatically get a fbclid parameter attached, so a redirection after clicking on a link on Facebook does not seem to be possible.
I found these below resources online that suggest using regular expressions: https://redirection.me/support/redirect-regular-expressions/ as a solution that might help you.
