Here are two possible reasons why you are not getting posts to LinkedIn even though it appears you have a good connection between ACE and LinkedIn:
- In May 2019 Linkedin required all social media posting applications,like ACE, to use a new version of Linkedin code. Some ACE may have missed updating their LinkedIn connection.
- If it seems like your ACE is properly connected to LinkedIn but you are still not getting posts, it might be that some permissions were not granted during the connection process.
Follow the steps below should fix both of the above issues.
Delete your current LinkedIn connection ACE
- Login to ACE
- Go to Settings > Social Media Connections and click ‘Active’ under LinkedIn. (If you don’t see “Active” and do see “Reset” or “Inactive” that means your connection to LinkedIn is bad or was never established, you can stop reading this and click “Reset” or “Inactive” and follow steps to reset or set up connection.)
- Click ‘Deactivate Connection’ to delete the current LinkedIn connection.
