    Hi! I have “share” buttons in my application but I have a problem with sharing the link to LinkedIn. First of all, I use the CyberFox Link Parser plugin so the customization is saved in the URL with parameters. This makes the URL quite long. I share it on LinkedIn with the puzzles that you can see below.

    And now the problem is that LinkedIn shortens the shared links… That means that the URL loses the customization parameters which is problematic. Do you have any workaround that could be used in this situation? I don’t know, something like using Bit.ly?

    Here you can read more about why LinkedIn is shortening the links: https://sociality.io/blog/how-to-post-on-linkedin/#7-how-to-avoid-link-shortening-on-linkedin

    In your case it doesn’t exist :unsure:

    Puzzles and JS coding. Fast and expensive.

    If you don’t see the meaning in something it primarily means that you just don’t see it but not the absence of the meaning at all.

    What a shame, but thanks for the answer anyway! I hope LinkedIn will fix this issue on their side one day…. ;-)

    They do not consider it as an issue :unsure: That’s just a max 25 character limit. You can find another way to save the scenes’s parameters to get a shorter result link.
