  Hello, I’m setting up a new website in WordPress. I’ve added a social media icon for Linked In and attempted to set up a company user name for Aquarius Population Health. However, when I use aquarius-population-health, Linked In gives me a message that the user cannot be found. When I set up ‘company/aquarius-population-health’, I’m taken to the profile for Tim H in Norway. See this link: https://www.linkedin.com/in/company/aquarius-population-health/ What I want it to do is go to: https://www.linkedin.com/company/aquarius-population-health
  Has anyone been able to set up a company user name on the Linked In Social Media Widget?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  It appears the Linked in Widget is appending the “/in” to the user name which does not work when you are setting up the Linked in account for a company. The widget also does not work linking to a /pub Linked In account. For example, elisabeth-adams/4/523/750

  It appears another user encountered this problem and it is still unresolved. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/linkedin-user-name-in-social-media-widget

  Here’s the work around.

  I added a Text widget to the side bar using the code from: https://socialmediawidgets.wordpress.com/
