After I added the LinkedIn Company Page follow button to our website, clicking the button results in an about:blank page. Apparently, after reading some topics concerning the same problem, the Company page does get followed. However, it doesn't look very professional getting redirected to some blank page. Making this post, hoping there is a workaround now that hasn't been posted to the other topics or to get a response from a LinkedIn employee.
Issue details:
Chrome 67, IE11, Edge 42 and Brave 0.23 give the about:blank page.
Firefox is currently the only browser working and it redirects me to the 'confirm follow' page, giving me the message: 'Congratulations! You're now following ...'
So anyone knows a fix or (if working for LinkedIn) any estimate on when the issue will be solved? Thanks in advance!
this is definitely a third party bug on linkedin's side. This problem has been going on for almost a year now and there has never been a good solution that I could find. the best thing to do might be to just delete it from your page. In the link below you will find the source I am talking about.
Hopefully, this will give you a bit more information.

Unless you can contact LinkedIn, you should look for workarounds that enhance the customer experience, like putting some helper text that explains what will happen after the button is pushed.
Also, for what it's worth, if you have some level of premium support with Microsoft, you could try to escalate and have it routed across the org chart. (That's a purely theoretical, I have no recent experience with Microsoft support at any premium level).

This problem exists for all pages on this site. The meta tags appear correct but whether you use the share link on the site, or try to share direct on FB, the image, title and description are not used.
There must be a legitimate issue as the Sharing Debugger also shows an empty/plain sharing dialog. But the Facebook share debugger isn’t given me any helpful info. It sometimes shows a 302, which I don’t understand as there is no redirect on the site. Refreshing the scrape sometimes shows an error Unknown Image Error, which also doesn’t seem to be a legitimate issue.
Almost always the Facebook share debugger shows a 302 the first time and then follows with other unhelpful errors.
Maybe a DNS issue, weird that it would be site wide.

Any and all help is very appreciated.
Try debugging your page URL on below link:

Once you scan your URL, on the link I provided, you will see "Warnings That Should Be Fixed" section. Try resolving warnings mentioned in that section.
Hope this will help you!
I've got a site that has multiple share buttons on entries in a WordPress site.
We designed this so there are no individual entries to view, they're Podcasts and videos. The listing page has a minimum of 10 entries, each with share buttons.
Currently the share links and titles are working correctly. But the page is not recognizing the og:image, and instead is picking up the default logo for the site itself.
I read another post on Stack Overflow that said it might be an issue for LinkedIn if the image is utilizing SSL for the link. But I just find that hard to believe.
The other issue I'm struggling with, the docs say once an image is scraped it stays cached for approximately 7 days.
I had an issue with FaceBook and there's a debugger that allows you to rescrape the page which let's me verify my changes worked.
My two questions are, is there something other than the og:image i should be specifying? since I can't specify it per post, it's in the head of the page itself, i would think it would pick that up. No?
Second, is there a way a developer can re-check after the meta info has been changed to see if the changes worked, without having to wait the TTL on the cache?
try this:
url/link?blah=1
url/link?blah=2
url/link?blah=3
to get around the cache.
This should trick it into thinking its a new page each time.
Can i get a link to test?
Anthony Walz posted the correct answer. Through email he also helped another problem i had which corrected a new issue i didn't realize I had until i looked.
my LinkedIn shares were not picking up the show title, they were picking up the page description instead (i have several podcasts showing on one page, we don't use individual post pages, they all play from the listing.)
he pointed me to the developer docs on formatting sharing links
Which gives a real world example - here:
https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http://developer.linkedin.com&title=LinkedIn%20Developer%20Network
&summary=My%20favorite%20developer%20program&source=LinkedIn
Thanks a ton for assist Anthony!
For some reason when I try adding a filter to any view that I have, I receive the Server Error 500.
In Google Chrome I get
this.
In Firefox I get this this.
To be detailed, I have a view that currently displays published articles. All Articles are translated into Spanish and English. I am trying to add the filter: Content:language and set it to user current language.
When I save, the page refreshes and the temporary changes notice is shown. I try saving a second time and the Server Error comes up. This happens for both web browsers.
Could it be a that I have to enable a read/write for a certain file? If so, I don't know which file to look for.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me ? I have been at it for about 13 hours...
After taking the advice from #Rainfall in the comment, I found another post on Drupal's forum with the solution/ patch for this issue.
Here is the post with the solution
Comment #9 gave a patch that worked for others and it worked for me too. More in depth info on the issue is there as well.
Hi I tried searching for information regarding this but get bombarded with other search results, might not be putting in the right question not sure….
Anyways hopefully someone here can help, what I’m having an issue with is my site which has a mobile version that’s separate from the main site, the mobile version can be used by anyone and has a link from the main one but anyone with a mobile device gets redirected to the mobile one. The mobile site is blind to search engines using the nofollow tag on any links that lead to it and hasn’t been cached which is what I want because it would be considered duplicate content, anyone with mobile devices gets redirected to equivalent page on mobile site.
I previously forgot to remove the analytics line from one of these pages and noticed it got cached in the search results so I removed it, which is the issue, how do I know how many people were visiting here (mobile) now etc…. Is there a way to get analytics information without having it go to the search results for duplicate content?
This seems to be a problem that can be fixed with Google Webmaster Tools, or tagging the content with a rel="canonical", please take a look at:

I am using the code to place a linkedIn Follow button (generated here https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins/follow-company) on this page, http://new.janeirodigital.com (view Client Testimonials section). However, the buttons sometimes show up and sometimes don't.
I have read a little bit of cross domains issues that may cause this, but I am not able to find a workaround to fix this. If you visit that page in Chrome and see the errors console, you'll see a couple of errors like regarding the linked in button, like:
Unsafe Javascript attempt to access frame with URL mysite.com from frame with URL http://platform.linkedin.com/js/....Domains, protocols and ports must match.
Has anybody experienced this problem before?
Any help appreciated
Daniel
The messages you are seeing in the developer console in Chrome are unrelated to your problem. They are an artifact of the cross-domain communication and as you'll notice, you see them for Facebook and Twitter as well on the same page.
That said, viewing your page I am also seeing intermittent 403s for some of the backend calls that the FollowCompany plugin is making. I have alerted our NOC to the issue and they should be investigating now.
Reviewing your page, it seems you have done everything necessary and are set, so once we fix the operational issue you should be good to go.
My apologies for any inconvenience!

I just found that this is happening when there are more than one follow button on the page, if you delete the first one and the second shows without problems but the others have the same problem...
Hope this could help your team Jeremy!!
