How do I allow Facebook, Twitter & Google + share buttons to share one URL on paginated posts in WordPress

Hello everyone,

I currently have the HTML5 Facebook, Twitter and G+ share buttons inserted into my single.php in WordPress, so it appears on all my post pages.

Everything works great until I write a very long article split into multiple pages using the nextpage tag.

The problem is if the reader is on page 3, and wanted to share the article, when they click the share button, they are prompted to share the URL of that particular page - http://www.nameofsite.com/nameofpost/3 and not of the first/main page of the article - http://www.nameofsite.com/nameofpost, so I am left with many post shares for different pages of the same article! :-(

Is there anyway I can overcome this for all my paginated posts?

Thank you,

James
