LinkedInShareButton broken due to new API

[ericding98]

I think LinkedIn's new share API dropped support of the old URL API and breaks the implementation here, can anyone confirm?

I have exactly the same issue. LinkedInShareButton needs to be updated. It's expecting https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url={URL}

I have just replaced LinkedShareButton with <a href=https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url={URL}>

+1 Not working for me too.

@hielfx check if the complete URL is there in your URL variable. It should start with https://....

This does not seem to work on mobile browsers, anyone found a work around?

So ? is this button really broken ?

Linked in share button is working for me - seems to be using opengraph meta tags on the target page to create the card.

I cannot, however, add predefined text. I have tried both "title" and "summary" props. It seems its expecting a "text" param.

Yes, it works for me. I just want to add a clarification that may help you, if you are on localhost, social networks do not accept the url, it may also be related to OpenGraph beacons.

It can be closed.

I am experiencing the same issue, can't seem to be able to send any text along with the URL.
