I set up a redirect link and if I type out the pretty link in my browser, it redirects me to the ugly link and works just fine. However when I posted the pretty link on Facebook, and clicked on it, it took me to a "missing page" on my hosted website, instead of the property. There is sth in Facebook redirect functionthat is messing this up. How to fix this?

Try Facebook's Debugger to see if it helps: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug 

After it populates the page from the first Debug, click Scrape Again.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the issue. The FB debugger seems to be correctly grabbing your link (identifying the redirect path) and showing the right image and title. Have you tried sharing it on FB again? Where are you still seeing/getting the missing page error message?

Yes I tried many times after debugging. Instead of taking me to the property’s page, it kept taking me to the “missing page showed in the original post.
