Posting – title and excerpt issue

Hi @brianhurley,

I was able to repeat this on my end. It looks like with the new LinkedIn endpoints that it doesn’t like brackets. I have just updated the plugin then so that brackets are replaced with ” – ” so that the content can still be shared somewhat ok. I couldn’t think of a better character to use as LinkedIn was also blocking the square brackets [].

Thanks,

Hi @brianhurley,

When it comes to duplicate sharing this is generally a process issue, and a lot of time people do this by accident and don’t realise. So it’s important that when writing a post, that you don’t click the “Share Now” button on the metabox, and then publish the post, as this will share the post twice. Just publish the post once and the share will happen. The “Share Now” button is just a way you can share something again with a different message.

So try writing a new post, publish it, hopefully 1 share happens. If you can demonstrate repeatedly that posts are sharing multiple times, then we can look into it further. Thanks,

Hi @brianhurley,

Can you please try doing a normal publish and not scheduled. Are you saying that is you create a post, and then publish it (without pressing the share now button or anything), it shares to LinkedIn 2 times?

Let’s start there and then we can look at scheduling. And are you using the WordPress classic editor, Gutenberg or some kind of other page builder?

Thanks,
