Linkedin & Twitter buttons not working correctly in Share Box

streamstreet · July 2018

Hi,

In my blog, the linkedin and twitter buttons don't work in the shaqre box.

Linkedin returns:

Invalid HTTP Request

Could not process this client request HTTP method request for URL. Please double-check the URL (address) you used, or contact us if you feel you have reached this page in error.

And Twitter returns:

This page isn’t working

If the problem continues, contact the site owner.

HTTP ERROR 400

The rest work okay.

Please help! Thanks.

Hi,
Please always attach a link so we can check it out. If the page is offline(localhost) then our help will be limited, you will have to contact us when the page is online. Also please make sure that the page is not under maintenance before you provide us the link.
It is always a good idea to also attach a screenshot, for that use services like snag.gy or pasteboard.co
thanks

It's all working fine.

But I see that you have two of all social icons.

Please disable all of the plugins, clear cache and check again.

I think you are looking at the social buttons in the footer.

I am referring to the share box at the bottom of each blog post, for example:

That's because of spaces in url.

Can you get rid of them?

Cheers.

Hi.

But it is the share box picking the page title and leaving the spaces there. What do you suggest?

Thanks.

Go to Wordpress Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks

and change the common settings to plain.

Hmmm. That is not great for SEO. There must be a better solution?

Thanks.

We noticed that the problem is not the space but " | " sign.

Linked In is blocking it, you have to change it to some other sign.

Thanks.

Great. That solves it, thanks.
