you should have a link in the error message, did you click on it? It should redirect you to LinkedIn authentication then back to your WordPress
Yes, I went back to the linked in site and the code I entered was correct and is showing as valid. I’m not sure what to do next.
that’s not what I am talking about. In the error message, in the dashboard, there is a link “click here”, alternatively you can click on the big blue button at the bottom of the settings page that says “regenerate token”
I have the same problem, and there is no “click here”. It’s just a message at the top of the screen saying it is invalid.
I have tried TWO tokens in the Create APP LinkedIn screen, none work.
in the API application form you get a client ID and a client secret, you must use those in the settings. They are used to identify your website/application.
then you need a OAuth token that is what the API is returning to the application once the LinkedIn user has given access to his profile to your website. The token is something that says “this website as access to that guy’s profile”
when that token is invalid (can be several reasons, one them is that you don’t have one) or expired (they expire after 60 days) there is a message at the top of the dashboard that says so and provides a link to the LinkedIn API (a complex request) to ask for a token. You can also use the big blue button in the settings page to ask for a token.
When you click that link, what happens depends on whether you are already logged on LinkedIn or not and whether you already gave the authorization for that website to access your profile or not.
If you’re not logged in and never gave the authorization then LinkedIn will ask you to enter your username and password (plus, may be, other things if you have multi factor athentication activated) then they will ask you if you authorize the application to access your data.
Actually, it works exactly like when you start playing Candy Crush Saga or Holdem Poker on Facebook (except you’re probably already logged in Facebook so they don’t ask you again)
Aggiungo una possibile risoluzione al caso “LinkedIn access token is invalid or has expired”.
Ho provato a rigenerare il token…. nisba!
Ho provato a sottomettere una nuova applicazione dalla develop page di Linkedin … nisba!
Ho provato a chiedere supporto a linkedin…. immaginate voi….
Ho cancellato il plugin (files e cartelle) e poi sono andato giù a martello su Mysql cercando tutte le istanze WP-Linkedin e ho delettato tutte le entries.
Reinstallato e funziona alla grande!
adesso cerco di capire perché nonostante la profilatura corretta non riesco a far vedere tutto il profilo ma solo riassunto ed esperienza (solo ultima)
Ciao!
