Jetpack Publicize Doesn’t Connect to LinkedIn

linkedinSo I’ve been cruising along using Jetpack Publicize to connect my WordPress Blog posts to LinkedIn and all of a sudden it doesn’t work.  Of course the first thing I do is navigate back to my WordPress blog and attempt to refresh the connection.

Start by clicking on Jetpack, then navigate to the LinkedIn Connection and reconnect it.  That method works most of the time.

However, I recently found that the connection would not reconnect.  After trying to reconnect the Jetpack Publicize to WordPress, the screen hangs and nothing happens.  Here’s how I fixed it.

Remove the LinkedIn connection from WordPress.  Then navigate to your LinkedIn profile and Manage your Privacy and Settings.  In your account, click on “Third Parties” and find “WordPress”.  Remove WordPress.  Then go back to your blog and reestablish the connection.

Good luck!
