Counts on LinkedIn buttons not working (Facebook questionable)
-
Adding a new topic as the thread discussing this – https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/linkedin-and-reddit-share-upvote-counts-have-disappeared?replies=22#post-3076488 – was unaccountably closed before resolution.
An issue with / change to the LinkedIn API had been identified, what is the current situation?
This has now been a big for some time.

Hi Peter,
As I mentioned in the other thread, this is something we are continuing to work on at the moment. I’m waiting for news from our developers so I don’t have an update for you just yet. I’ll let you know when I do though.

Great – given this, can you please leave this thread open (or open the original and close this one)?
Thanks
Peter

HI Peter,
It looks like LinkedIn has removed the share count from their API, so they no longer provide that information for us to show in the button. See:

Wow! Another supposedly social media company just not getting it *sigh*
I guess I’ll try approaching them directly – not that it will do any good.
Thanks
Peter
