  I have authorized my LinkedIn account through sharing -> connections, however the connection is never made, I see the error ‘The LinkedIn connection could not be made because no account was selected.’

  However, if I check my LinkedIn account it says that WordPress is authorized with today’s date:

  and LinkedIn still shows a ‘connect’ icon in WordPress

  I have tried to disconnect through LinkedIn and reconnect, I have tried to clear all cookies on the machine, I’ve tried different browsers, I’ve tried different computers. I have tried turning ad blockers off, I have even tried a different internet connection in case someone suggestes that. Nothing works.

  Video of what is happening:

  Any advice on what can be done?
