+= Steps to make this work =
 
-Once you install and activate the plugin, all 'OG URL' tags for existing posts/pages will be filtered to 'HTTP' URLs.
+You need to following these steps in order for the plugin to work:

+Step 1: Install and activate the plugin.
 
-To do this manually, follow these steps:
+Step 2: If you are using a Cache plugin (eg: WP Super Cache), delete the cache.
+
+Step 3: Exclude facebook bot from the HTTP to HTTPS redirect in your HTaccess file.
+
+Step 4: Force facebook to rescrape your URLs once again. Here's how you can do that:
