RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^https://l.facebook.com/l.php[NC]
RewriteRule ^/?first-page.html$ http://google.com/ [L,R]

Maybe a php script can do the job. Like if referrer is from facebook, you redirect to another url.

Just do it with PHP and add this snippet to the top of the page that you want to redirect users from:

PHP:

<?php

    if(stristr($_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"], "facebook.com")){
        
        header("Location: https://google.com");
        exit;
        
    }
    
?>

Click to expand...

Then you can either go for a fancy plugin (https://codecanyon.net/item/wordpress-ultimate-redirect-plugin/11423006) or just edit the WP theme files and add the snippet I posted earlier to one that loads for each page (navbar/menu for example).
