  Hi all, something strange happened today. My latest post doesn’t show how many LinkedIn shares I had, even though I know the post was shared at least a couple of times. And it should show at least 1 share because my blog posts automatically to my LinkedIn account.

  All the other posts on the blog show how many LinkedIn shares they’ve had. Just the latest post doesn’t.

  Anyone got any idea why that should be?

  The site I need help with is https://anneinpt.wordpress.com and the post in question is https://anneinpt.wordpress.com/2016/11/21/the-upside-down-world-of-the-un/.

  Many thanks.

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

  Hi, LinkedIn’s API says it was not shared, and we get our counts from them:
  https://www.linkedin.com/countserv/count/share?format=json&url=https://anneinpt.wordpress.com/2016/11/21/the-upside-down-world-of-the-un/

  If you changed the URL of the post, that would likely make a difference.

  Thank you for your answer supernovia. However my post was shared because I can see it on LinkedIn! And I did not change the URL of my post. Strange.

  I’ll see what happens when I publish my next post, and keep you updated.

  Alright, you’re also welcome to check your next post with that link, too. If LinkedIn says 0 shares at that link, we aren’t going to get a different number.
