LinkedIn Share Social Widget
This plugin lets you place a LinkedIn Share button on your WordPress blog as a widget and/or using shortcode.
Description:
To use the widget just drag it to a sidebar and choose one of three button styles. You can also specify a url to share. If you leave the url empty, the active page will be shared.
Using shortcode:
The simplest version is [share/] which will add a button without counter using the permalink of the page or post.
To further customize the button you can use the following attributes:
- mode: none (default), top or right to set the counter style
- url: Any url you would like visitors to share instead of the current page or post permalink
Some examples of correct usage of this shortcode are:
[share/]
[share mode=”right”/]
[share mode=”top” url=”http://www.wordpress.org”/]
Installation:
Upload the LinkedIn Share Social Widget plugin to your blog, activate it and drag the widget to your sidebar. See description on shortcode usage.
Changelog:
1.0

Hi Ties,
As I said on Twitter, you’re welcome!
Hi, when I try to share, the name of the blog is in the title, not the title of the post. Is that something I need to change?
Thanks?

Hey. I am trying to add the LinkedIn button to pages listing current positions. I need to use the short code, but so far – nothing happens?
I am probably doing it wrong, but had the impression you could simply insert the [share/]
[share mode=”right”/] code and the button would be present. url: http://66.147.244.110/~bentons1/wordpress/current-positions/business-development-leader-na/
appreciate any help. thx
Hi Pat,
You will only need [share mode=”right”/] or [share/]. When I view your link I see 2 LinkedIn share buttons at the top of the page content.
Thank you so much. I must not see them because I am logged in. Appreciate the help.
