    Hi,

    For some reason several of my sites are not sending the {excerpt} part of the post to LinkedIn. The title and short URL are getting posted along with an image, but no text.

    I’ve tried several different different ways and ensured everything is updated, clear out the cache etc, but still only the title and the small url. There is no error showing in the log even though I tried four times>

    Hi,
    please check the value for {EXCERPT} length, on the ‘General Options’ tag.

    If you don’t provide a ‘manual’ excerpt for your post, the shortcode {EXCERPT} is generated from the content of your post.

    Hi, yes I understand how the plugin works, the settings are within given parameters. The issue is that (as shown in the first post) that the plugin shows no error, but the excerpt is not showing in the post?

    Shortcodes adjustments :

    Change only if you know what you’re doing, otherwise default values are just fine.
    {TITLE} max length: 110 characters. (default value=110, range between 30 and 120)
    {CONTENT_FIRST_WORDS} length: 30 characters. (default value=90, range between 30 and 120)
    {EXCERPT} length:
    (Used when auto generated) 400 characters. (default value=400, range between 100 and 600)

    Maybe to test another post, so you can see if it’s general issue or only related to that particual post.
    Also try deleting the post ‘Saturday Lunch @ Pearl’ on linkedin company page and republish with MicroblogPoster.

    Hi Guys, I really wish you’d read my posts a little more carefully; this issue is happening with SEVERAL of my sites not just the one I’ve posted on here.

    You also need to read my first post where I have listed all the four log entries from the attempts to post that message; if I had not deleted the post in LinkedIn after each attempt an error message would have shown in the log….no error message, try to understand I do understand how this plugin works and I use it on 12 websites.

    Please understand that I have tried ALL the simple things BEFORE contacting you.

    Since you’re a Pro or Enterprise User please contact us directly by email.
    Yes we do read your questions, but you must understand that we don’t have a pre-made solution to each bug. We’re simply trying to understand.
    Also linkedin doesn’t have a duplicate post check so even if you don’t delete your previous post it will post again the same update…
