LinkedIn sharing not working
Your LinkedIn sharing might not work properly: perhaps the Open Graph meta tags aren’t enabled, LinkedIn’s cached the sharing data for 7 days, or something else is wrong . In this article, we’ll share how you can view your sharing data, update your sharing data, and fix an image that doesn’t work.

How to view LinkedIn sharing data
There are a number of reasons that sharing on LinkedIn fails to display correctly. LinkedIn’s Post inspector will provide you with a lot of information that might help narrow down the issue.
- Go to LinkedIn’s Post inspector
- Enter the URL you want to check
- Click Inspect
- Review the information
You will see different sections that contain warnings, information, and, near the bottom, a clickable section with all the metadata gathered.
How to update LinkedIn sharing data
If your content has changed, inspect the URL with the Post inspector to re-scrape the URL.
How to fix the image not working
Please make sure the image meets the LinkedIn requirements. You can also use the post inspector to inspect image URLs for errors.
