    Hi Majella,

    I’m sorry to hear that! So I see that you recently deleted and added a LinkedIn connection about ~14 hours ago, but your most recent post was on the 10th of November. So your publicize connections will not post anything retroactively.

    Try publishing a test post to see if it will show up. I just tested your connection and found that it was working.

    Let me know if you have any questions with this!

    Hello Grace
    Thankyou for your response. I have just published to Linkedin through Publicize in the Publish section top right when preparing post, but can’t share from the button on the actual published post for some reason which I have been able to do before.
    With thanks
    Majella

    Hi Majella!

    I’m glad Publicize is working! I just tried to share your most recent post on Linkedin and I found that it was working as seen here:

    Is it still not working for you?

    No still doesn’t work that way for me, just keep getting that original message that I quoted when I submitted this question. I have noticed though when trying to share to Linkedin from other sources eg. http://www.seek.com.au, that I get the same message, so maybe this part of the problem is at the Linkedin end. For me Publicize is fixed and it wasn’t working for me when I went to publish the Explore Dream Discover post, so that’s great! Maybe a temporary hitch or also Linkedin playing up?
    With thanks

    How strange – I was able to fully publish the link on my Linkedin as seen here:

    I’m not sure if this will make a difference, but can you please try clearing out your cache and cookies using the guide below?

    If that doesn’t work can you try a different browser and see if it works from there?
