Sorry for the delay in responding. I’m not a regular visitor of this forum, so posts may go unnoticed.

LIPS cannot synchronize your LinkedIn profile with your buddypress account as is. You could write a plugin that hooks into the lips_profile_filter filter hook and synchronize the fields yourself.

Again, sorry for the delay. Hope this helps.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay and the trouble you had. I don’t check this too often and I’m not aware of any way to get a message when a new post is made.

So let me check if I understood correctly. Your WordPress site and dashboard were working properly. You installed lips and you’re no longer able tot access the dashboard? The site is working?

I’ve not heard of something like this before, but I’ll look into it. Are you running in a shared webhosting environment?

Hi,

Hmmm… that’s unusual. The error is triggered by the function that handles recommendations, so I would guess you don’t have a recommendation on your profile page yet, right?

I’m preparing a new version and I would like to make sure I include as much as I can, so could you please create a debug page? This debug page shows the structure of the data you got from LinkedIn and it allows me to fix additional errors based on the information of your profile.

You can create a debug page from the Development Settings section found in the LinkedIn Profile Synchronization page, checking Debug Data On-a-Page and selecting the page you want to write the profile data to. You can create a new page for debug purposes. Synchronize your profile again and drop me an email through https://www.tenberge-ict.nl/contact/english/. I’ll tell you what to do by email.

I updated the instructions page at https://www.tenberge-ict.nl/tools/wordpress/lips/#setup. The registration should be more obvious now.

Hi,

Sorry for the late response. Are you still experiencing this problem?

Hi,

Sorry for the delay in responding, but I’m quite busy at the moment. You wrote about an error popping up on multiple sites. Are both of them on the same operating system?

The 401 error occurs more often; I’ve seen multiple reports about it. Most of the time, it just boils down to a copy-paste error on the OAuth token and secret. Are you sure that you’ve got the right value on the right element?

Here’s what you can do to verify:
Click “Forget OAuth” on the plugin configuration page and open the LinkedIn Developer Network Application Details page again. Copy the value of API Key found on the LI Application Details page to the OAuth Token field found on the LinkedIn Profile Synchronization Tool section and copy the value of the Secret Key to the OAuth Secret. Then click Save again, then try to fetch your profile again.

Please let me know whether this fixed the error you’re seeing.

The latest version of the plugin now works on WordPress 3.5

Hi Anthony,

The permission denied errors are caused by an attempt to save a copy of your LinkedIn profile picture. This attempt fails, because the webserver is not allowed to write to the media folder. Which version of the plugin are you using?

The error messages at line 1834 and 1792 are in the “Questions/ comments” thread. It boils down to the plugin breaking since the WordPress 3.5 upgrade and I just don’t have enough time right now to resolve the problem. I’ll look into it when I find the time and I hope that will be this week.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi,

Thanks for using lips, too bad you’re running into trouble using it.

The error on line 1834 refers to the education section and the error on line 1792 refers to recommendations. Can you send me a link to your LinkedIn profile page so I can take a look? You can sent that link to me directly through https://www.tenberge-ict.nl/contact/english/ if you don’t want to post it in a comment.

Thanks again, Bas

Please let me know when you’re giving the plugin a new try. I would really like to find the reason why only the first position was added, specially because it does not occur on my own profile.

I’ve not received a message, so I guess the problem is resolved. Feel free to reopen this post, create a new one or contact me when you experience problems.

Thanks. Could you let me know which tokens you were using? I’ll use it update the documentation.

I’ve reviewed https://jaycollier.net/linkedin/resume and I can see only the first position being added. Can you review the apache server error logging to see if there are error messages?

I can dig a little deeper, but I’ll need a debug page for that. You can create a debug page from the Development Settings section found in the LinkedIn Profile Synchronization page, checking Debug Data On-a-Page and selecting the page you want to write the profile data to. Synchronize your profile again and drop me an email through https://www.tenberge-ict.nl/contact/english/. I’ll tell you what to do by email.

Thanks, the steps you’re describing is how it’s supposed to work.

Also, I only filled out the fields on the LI Application Details page that has asterisks.

Should not really be a problem. Did you select “Development” as Live Status?

Please click “Forget OAuth” on the plugin configuration page and open the LinkedIn Developer Network Application Details page again. Copy the value of API Key found on the LI Application Details page to the OAuth Token field found on the LinkedIn Profile Synchronization Tool section and copy the value of the Secret Key to the OAuth Secret and click Save again, then try to fetch your profile again.

Just to be sure I understand this (new) problem:

• You’ve installed & activated LiPS version 0.8.9.
• You clicked Tools -> LinkedIn Profile Sync and you got a section in which you copied the OAuth Token and secret.
• You clicked “Save” and the error popped up?

I’ve seen this 401 error when I mixed the Token and Secret. Please click “Forget OAuth” and copy them from the LinkedIn developer page.

That’s weird. Can you see if there’s anything special in the webserver error logging?
