• Thank you very much for the last update: “Added option to attach image to linkedin post”, but didn′t solve the problems…

    I mean, before the image was not attached when publishing a post/page, we had to go to “linkedin.com/post-inspector” to include the image, after being posted, so wasn′t really of any use. Now with this new feature configured at: Posting Method “Text Message with image”, the link to the post/page doesn′t appear/show, it′s missing.

    Is there anyway for fixing both things: To have the post image attached and post link atacched too?

    Thanks again for taking the time for trying to solve this situations at Linkedin publishing.

  • Attach image to LinkedIn post,will not generate a clickable preview as in Attach your blog post.
    This new posting method will upload your Featured image/first image from post content to LinkedIn along with the text message as per the message format.
    If you want to include the post URL,just add {PERMALINK} in message format.
    It will appear in LinkedIn as shown in the screenshot at https://prnt.sc/r2420a

    If you want clickable preview ,then set the posting method as Attach your blog post.
    If your site do not add og tags then set Enforce og tags for LinkedIn to Yes.
    Please let us know if you have any issues/questions.

    Hi, I maybe didn′t explain well. I have the {PERMALINK} included at configuration, but when posting, if text is more than 3-4 lines at post, the link dissapears so people can′t visit the post as there is no link at Linkedin returning back to website, if I have the new feature option to attach image activated.

    {POST_CONTENT}
    {PERMALINK}
    #metas

    If I place:

    {POST_EXCERPT}
    {PERMALINK}
    #metas

    The text cuts anywhere making underestandable to read.

    Is there any solution for this? Thanks!

    LinkedIn API character limit is 1300 .
    So the message to be posted is limited to 1300 characters.
    Please use {POST_EXCERPT} instead of {POST_CONTENT}.
    You can enter the contents for excerpt in post edit page,otherwise the first 50 words will be used as {POST_EXCERPT}.
    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for your time. We can′t use the {POST_EXCERPT}, as we can′t edit the post page before publishing, we have job sites where companies publish their job offers directly at frontend, so we have no control with that, this is why we use the {POST_CONTENT}. The thing is that as with facebook, linkedin seems to cut the texts when they are shared thru autopost, not when sharing at site and doesn′t share those 1300 characters when autoposting. Maybe you can check if there is a way for letting the plugin send autopost with 1300 characters for not being cutted?

    Thanks again for your time and sorry for duplicating the post yesterday. WordPress leaves my posts in yellow color since a week ago, pending review because last week I was commenting a support thread and shared some screen captures thru imgur website and wordpress thought I was spamming :S So, when I tryed to post this thread I waiting like 2 hours for it to be reviewed and wasn′t so I refreshed the page and my post dissapeared, either was at support list, so I thought it had being deleted and posted it again, and same thing happened…, so I went to your site thru contact form. Please accept my apologies, it was not intended ??

    I’m sorry but this is not supported in the api now.
    If the message to be posted is not limited to 1300 characters ,the post will fail with error: com.linkedin.publishing.util.common.ResponseException: ShareCommentary text length exceeded the maximum allowed (1300 characters).

    Thank you for your patience and understanding.
