I had a company blog site blog.mysite.com, which was getting good traffic. On an average each blog had 200 fb shares(some had 2000+). And my alexa rank was 11000 in my country that time.
Then I added SSL on my blog site, also added redirect condition on my .htaccess file to redirect all request to blog.mysite.com, But since facebook treats both http and https version of any url different. I had lost all my count. Still my new blogs are geeting significant traffic and share. Also my sites alexa rank became to 20,000.
But I dont want to start with share count zero for my older blogs. Is there any way to so that i can tell facebook that these urls are same and show previous share count for https version also. and if someone share n https increase in the share count, dont start from zero.
My website is on wordpress.And somewhere I have heard that to change "og:url" meta tag to http but i dont know how to change that for each wordpress blog. Any help would be appericiated.

**You need to create a 301 permanent redirect from http to your https in your .htaccess file. (This method will update most social sites IE Google +1)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !^on$
RewriteRule (.*) yourdomain/ [R,L]
EDIT:
This method will regain FB likes and shares.
You can refresh it with FB debugger
