  Please see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#common-reasons-why-a-post-failed-to-publicize and know that I don’t know of any way to help you beyond what’s there and what’s under “Reconnecting LinkedIn” in that support doc.

  We are having an intermittent problem with Linkedin connections. We are working on a permeant fix, but for the moment your best option is to attempt the reconnection. Late night and early morning connection attempts are more successful than mid day ones, but it’s intermittent, so I can’t say for sure when it will work. Thanks for your flexibility while we work this out with Linkedin.
