  I appear to be having the same problems as this closed thread:
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/error-connecting-wordpress-to-linkedin?replies=11

  LinkedIn worked fine until a few days ago and now I’m getting an alert saying it’s not connected. Whenever I try to connect again I get this error:

  There was a problem creating your connection. Please go back and try again.

  Any advice? @rachelmcr or others?

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

  Hi Jason,

  I found that there had been some issues with the LinkedIn Publicize connection recently. We are looking into it, and I will get back to you as soon as possible!

  Thank you so much for your patience.

  Thanks Grace. I tried it again the next day and it worked fine.
  There’s definitely an “issue” where it *lost* my connection to linked in.
  There’s also definitely an issue with having to remove it before reconnecting.
  Based on some things I’ve seen in the threads and my experience I *think* someone might be caching something. Not sure if it’s on the WP end or the LinkedIn end, but I’d recommend that people with this problem do these steps:

  But wait 24 hours before reconnecting.

  Hi Jason,

  I’m so sorry for delay! But, we have great news! The LinkedIn connection has been fixed and it should be working now!

  Please let me know if you find otherwise!

  Cheers!
