Recently, while i was working for one of my clients website, there was an issue which i saw in the Jetpack Advance Widget called Social Media Icons.
The issue was that jetpack developers has hardcoded www.linkedin.com/in in the code and due to this if any company url doesn’t have /in in their linkedin profile, it was resulting in wrong links. Like for example my clients linkedin official link was https://www.linkedin.com/company/vane-airport/ but when i was entering username, due to hardcoded code it was coming out as https://www.linkedin.com/in/company/vane-airport/ and was a big issue.
So, in order to fix this, open jetpack using any file editor and then look into directory widgets which is located at
[php]\jetpack\modules\widgets[/php]
and under widgets open the file called social-media-icons.php and on line 70 remove /in and save the file.
[php highlight=”6″] $this->services = array(
‘facebook’ => array( ‘Facebook’, ‘https://www.facebook.com/%s/’ ),
‘twitter’ => array( ‘Twitter’, ‘https://twitter.com/%s/’ ),
‘instagram’ => array( ‘Instagram’, ‘https://instagram.com/%s/’ ),
‘pinterest’ => array( ‘Pinterest’, ‘https://www.pinterest.com/%s/’ ),
‘linkedin’ => array( ‘LinkedIn’, ‘https://www.linkedin.com/in/%s/’ ),
‘github’ => array( ‘GitHub’, ‘https://github.com/%s/’ ),
‘youtube’ => array( ‘YouTube’, ‘https://www.youtube.com/%s/’ ),
‘vimeo’ => array( ‘Vimeo’, ‘https://vimeo.com/%s/’ ),
‘googleplus’ => array( ‘Google+’, ‘https://plus.google.com/u/0/%s/’ ),
‘flickr’ => array( ‘Flickr’, ‘https://www.flickr.com/photos/%s/’ ),
‘wordpress’ => array( ‘WordPress.org’, ‘https://profiles.wordpress.org/%s/’ ),
‘twitch’ => array( ‘Twitch’, ‘https://www.twitch.tv/%s/’ ),
‘tumblr’ => array( ‘Tumblr’, ‘https://%s.tumblr.com’ ),
); [/php]
This will fix the issue.
Cheers
