Team - We got a solution to this issue yet? Getting the error on my end, red text pops up as "invalid Linkedin profile".

Hi Bilal, 


I'm sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you. Could you please make sure that you have copied the correct LinkedIn profile link? You may be experiencing this issue because of a wrong link.

Hi Avery,

 

I am also receiving this error. I have tried copying with or without https:. I have tried copying from the top bar and from the client's contact info section. Nothing seems to work, unfortunately.

I have tried 2 different client's profiles and double-checked the URL upon receiving the error...

Any advice?

 

Thanks,

Lorraine

I am also getting same issue Invalid Linkedin Profile. I am sure that I am copying correct linkedin profile url and I did check through chrome. Can you please help me in resolving this issue?

Hi Goran,

 

I am having the same issue on my end. Can somebody please contact me as well to help me on this?

 

Thanks

Hi Goran,

 

I am experiencing the same error. I have tried both the link in the address bar and the link in the client's contact info with and without "https://www." but to no avail. The site appears to consider every link to the profile invalid. I would appreciate your assistance! 

 

Thank you,

Sam Boggs

Hi Andrea,

 

Thank you, this helped! Had to manually go in and add the https://www. Even though I directly copied and pasted the profile from linkedin.

Hi Rakibul,

 

Thank you for sharing additional information. I see that you are using a company LinkedIn profile while submitting the Testimonial request. Could you please try with a personal LinkedIn profile for your client. Feel free to message us if you need further assistance.

Do clients have o have a Linkedin profile/account in order to request for them to provide feedback?

 

Hi Alisha,

 

Yes, they need to have a LinkedIn profile.
