 * Hey team,
 * The LinkedIn share button seems to be working inconsistently for me. On URLs 
   I haven’t yet attempted to share, I get a message that says “Something went wrong;
   Refresh the page” with a “Try Again” button underneath. I’m wondering if there
   is a similar issue here to the Twitter one that was recently solved out.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Steve.
   Thanks for sharing your experience.We can’t replicate exactly your 
   issue and it’s not related with the one we fixed for Twitter/X.Could you please
   share a URL where you get the error so we can investigate further?Thanks!

 * Hi Nahuai,
 * Thanks for the quick turnaround with the reply! I got this sequence of errors
   logged to the console when attempting to share this post to LinkedIn:

 * If it helps, the issue only seems to arise when I am already signed in and it
   does not prompt me to log in. Please let me know if you are able to replicate
   this.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Steve.
   We are able to reproduce the problem with your site but not with any
   other. The plugin seems to work ok in several WP installations we tested.We checked
   the [LinkedIn Inspector Tool](https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/) and your
   URL displays some errors. So it looks like it’s something related with LinkedIn(
   not our plugin). May be you can contact them to ask about it.Best,Nahuai

 * Nahuai,
 * I apologize for the misunderstanding. We realized it was due to an incorrect 
   server configuration causing well-known bots to be blocked from performing basic
   requests.
 * It is working for us now. Thank you for sharing the tool, as it was able to help
   us better understand the issue.
 * Appreciate the support!
