   it. then I tried putting the shortcode “[li_profile]” in a post but it’s not 
   showing anything.

   missing something and what it is

 * Hi, I had an error because I didn’t set up the linkedin secret key. I did this
   but now I get the folowwing 404 error:
 * The requested URL /wordpress/oauth/linkedin/ was not found on this server.

 * make sure the “WordPress address” and “Site address” are correct in the General
   Settings, the second one shouldn’t have the “wordpress” at the end

 * I’m also having this issue. I checked all your suggestions but I can’t get any
   of the shortcodes to work.
 * I have this shortcode [li_updates] on this page – [http://tishalittlejohn.com/website-design-brand-marketing/](http://tishalittlejohn.com/website-design-brand-marketing/).
   I eventually want to add the recommendations shortcode but I know I need more
   permission for that so for now the updates shortcode will do.
