  Not sure if I’ve read this thread correctly, but here’s my problem.

  I’ve created a clickable image (LinkedIn) that links (supposedly) to my public profile, but when I click on the link it (not sure if this is the correct term) but it prepends my domain to the public profile and I can’t figure out for the life of me how or where this is happening.

  Anyone else get this problem?

  I’ve attached a simple (linkedin) image to my page, used some CSS in the My Custom CSS plugin to position the image in the top right-hand part of the page.

  When I view the source code, this is what is on the page:

  <p class=”pos_fixed”><img src=”http://shorestone.co.nz/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Linked-In.png” alt=”Linked-In” width=”132″ height=”32″ class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-93″ /></p>

  But when I hover over the image link it shows the URL in front of this address: shorestone.co.nz.

  Thanks for anyone’s help.

  sorry, for some reason, it won’t allow me to paste the public URL address for linkedin; why is that? :(

  Anyway, it happens between the <p ….> tag and the <img src…> I’m sure you can all figure that one out.

  @sportyguy1- Hi there,

  You’ve reached support for the free blogs hosted at WordPress.com.

  It is not possible to install plugins on WordPress.com, for security reasons. Plugins can only be installed on self-hosted WordPress blogs. If you are wondering how WordPress.com differs from WordPress.org, this support article explains the distinction:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Currently this thread is about the LinkedIn Publicize connection. If you have issues with this please continue your replies in this thread. If you have a different question about your WordPress.com site and LinkedIn please open another thread so that this thread doesn’t continue about a different issue!

  Thank you!
