Hi all,
I seem to have an issue to publicize my post to LinkedIn.
Whenever I click on refresh the connection I get an error message ‘There is an issue connecting to LinkedIn’.
This is the 3rd time it happens and it seems that it always happens in the evening and then seem to be solved in the morning (GMT Time).

Hi there!

What’s the address of the site you’re working on?

Please note that these forums are for WordPress.com hosted sites only. If your site is using the open-source WordPress.org software, we won’t be able to help you out and you’ll want to seek help at these forums:

Same issue here – can’t connec to Linked In.

Have tried repeatedly, and it keeps telling me it’s connected, and then it isn’t.

Would really appreciate some help :-)

@brendonbclark, @klwap, your sites are not hosted on WordPress.com so we can’t help you.

Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites that are hosted elsewhere, so WordPress.com staff can only assist with sites that are hosted on our servers. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com here:

WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

You can look for help at the community forums here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

http://wordpress.org/support/ is also a great resource for sites using the open-source WordPress.org software.

I have this issue.

When I try to reconnect to LinkedIn, it opens the LinkedIn permission dialog as expected. I hit the Ok button, but when we come back to WordPress, it says there was an issue reconnecting to LinkedIn. It does not say what the issue was. I’ve tried a whole bunch of times now but it’s just not working anymore.

My blog is hosted on WordPress.com under my own domain name: https://stijndewitt.com

@stijndewitt, are there any active extensions on your browser?
Have you tried doing that using a different browser?

Also, remember that with your plan you can access Live Chat directly via https://wordpress.com/help/contact. That way you can get help faster.
