Problem with default prefix of URL

you can use your full linkedin profile url instead of just the username.
it’s fully supported and it should work fine.

let me know
fabrizio

Hello

I am afraid I am experiencing the same problem. I have customised my linkeding profile etc… it now conforms with the expected format and works fine when accessed directly – but when I use it inside WP, I get the following connection error: “FB Linkedin Resume: we’re sorry but we can’t correctly download your LinkedIn profile.

I am using a brand new WP 3.8 installation and the elisium theme.

I have tried placing a slash at the end of the URL and everything else I can possibly think of.

All the best
Andrew

this can be something different, a lot of hosting providers do not allow php scripts to connect to external websites, is it possible for you to check?

anyway just for another check you can

[fb_linkedin_resume_summary user=”https://www.linkedin.com/in/fabrizioballiano”%5D

replacing your linkedin address

The theme supports your regular URL (as an example: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fabrizioballiano, the URL to Fabrizio’s profile). All social media buttons have been set to be used to link to your profile pages, for other features you’ll probably need to use the widgets section of the theme.

Thank you to both of you. Very useful. In fact since writing my message a strange phenomenon has occurred: the profile *occasionally* appears. If I access the profile directly through a browser it is very fast.

As for php being blocked by my webhost, it is not. So I am starting to suspect that there may be some kind of time-out problem (I am in Thailand and my connection to my US host is actually very very slow). Let’s see. I now think that it is not a plugin problem but something else. I will try fabrizio’s URL.

Thanks and cheers

Well the hosting company says that all is well but all connections to linkedin from inside WP seem to fail (I have not tried another cms).

I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to go to https://gocultures.com/andrewlian and tell me if the linkedin resume (Fabrizio’s actually) works.

Thank you

Andrew

I’m trying your link but the linkedin section doesn’t load.
I should be able to debug directly on your host to check what’s causing the problem…

Would you like to have a feature to save the html of your linkedin profile in some wordpress cache directory? To avoid external connections?

It could be an idea..

Thank you – a new development has occurred. I installed the plugin on a brand new installation of WP on a different physical server run by the same hosting company.

I now get the following error message:

Warning: gzinflate() [function.gzinflate]: data error in /home/sangarun/public_html/andrewlian/wp-content/plugins/fb-linkedin-resume/fb-linkedin-resume.php on line 111
FB Linkedin Resume: we’re sorry but we can’t correctly download your LinkedIn profile.

Does this help at all?

Thanks for any thoughts

Andrew

It may help for this plugin but does not necessarily explain why other plugins fail :-((

Andrew

Once or twice out of many attempts, the profile has appeared correctly – which leads me to believe that it has something to do with how the data is retrieved from Linkedin.

could you try to replace your fb-linkedin-resume.php file with this one:
https://pastebin.com/DCxk6pn3
and let me know if something changes?

I tried with this profile url:
https://www.linkedin.com/pub/michael-tarnowski/42/b62/a98
and it works.

Hope it solves the problems.
Thank you

Hello again and thanks so much for all of your trouble in trying to help me. That is so nice!

Unfortunately, the new file does not work although the detailed diagnostic message has disappeared.

For your information, I have found one other plugin that does work although I really do not like it as much as yours. It relies on the explicit generation of Linkedin Access Tokens. I do not know if this is relevant in your case, but it may be. I thought that you might like to know…

grazie tanto

Andrew

The access token implementation means that they’re using a totally API (actually i’m not using any API) so the data is not gzipped (seems that’s the problem).

I’ll try to write some debug code I’ll ask you to upload again.
In the meanwhile, which php version are you running?
