I am running into this issue (LinkedIn->share(): comment length is too long - max length is 700 characters.), when I attempt to auto post to LinkedIn. Funny thing is my auto post to LinkedIn was working just fine and I have not changed any settings.

Is there something that has been updated where I need to change a setting?

I reviewed my LinkedIn app settings as well as my EasyBlog auto post settings and all appears ok.

Let me know if you would like backend access.
Hello Clay,

Please replace the attached file in: ..\components\com_easyblog\classes\linkedin\helper.php and see how it goes. If this doesn't help, you can provide us your backend and FTP access so we can fix this for you.

Hello Clay,

The issue was the content that Easyblog send to Linkedin is over 700 which exceed the Linkedin API. Hence, I have strip the content to have less words.
