  I have tried to get my blog posts to update to my LinkedIn account (via settings/sharing) and it isn’t updating properly. Can you help?

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

  Hi aservantsmusings,

  I’ve tested the LinkedIn connection on aservantsmusings.wordpress.com and it is working as it should, at the moment.

  Are you seeing errors when connecting that LinkedIn account (Peter Bourke) or another one to WordPress.com? Or are your published posts not being shared on LinkedIn?

  Let’s go from there.

  Thanks so much for your message – two things seem odd:
  – I have checked the LinkedIn “connection” multiple times and it shows it is working but the screen for this latest blog post (that shows it is “published” only lists the twitter connection, not the LinkedIn one
  – and, the post never hit my LinkedIn account and followers

  Do you think it could be a LinkedIn issue?
  Any advice is appreciate!

  Peter

  Hi there,

  Can you please try the following to make sure it’s nothing on our end?

  1. Go to My Site > Tools > Marketing > Connections in your dashboard and click Disconnect on your LinkedIn account.

  2. Reload the page and confirm the link now says Connect.

  3. Clear your browser’s cookies:

  I think that solved the issue – I’ll know for certain when I post again!

  Thanks much
