Facebook social plugins: Change url and share/like data

I am doing some maintenance which include url changes. I want to keep the share/like count from data-href="mysite.com/oldUrl" and use it on data-href="mysite.com/newUrl"

I tried using data-href="mysite.com/oldUrl" on the new url, problem with that is when someone on facebook clicks the link it still goes the old url... Not suprised though, but it was worth a shot!

The site is pure html, so I cant use wordpress plugins.

Suggestions highly appreciated...

Try to use .htacess to make a 301 redir of the old url for the new one like this:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/oldname/ http://www.sample.com/newname/
