Now that I got all my social sharing up and running, it looks to me like the Share to LinkedIn button isn’t setup correctly. The shareArticle endpoint for LinkedIn sharing is expecting an encoded URL but the credential link is being input without being encoded first.

Hi @ampatt97

When you mention the Shared to LinkedIn button, where is this located? In the Blockcerts Verifier or in the wallet apps?

The Blockcerts Verifier, ![Screen Shot 2020-11-11 at 10.58.50 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/blockcerts/original/1X/82f05da629427de4e94b526b3a0b5998da78154c.png)

I’m pretty sure that the code [here](https://github.com/blockchain-certificates/blockcerts-verifier/blob/master/src/components/molecules/SocialShare/SocialShare.js#L38) needs to encode the url for LinkedIn’s shareArticle endpoint. Facebook and Twitter are fine because I think they handle the encoding on their end.

You can disregard this issue. I realized I was missing some og tags that LinkedIn wanted.
