I am looking after someone's web site, and they need the LinkedIn widget in the foot of their word press page.

When I go thru all the API stuff on the LI web site,I get the access keys, but they always fail.

The Widget is called "WP LinkedIn". Is it a known problem?

I made a fresh install of WP and the plugin in question. I ran across the issue, but only because I didn't supply the correct OAuth 2.0 callback URL in the LinkedIn application.

Providing the correct one allowed me to get a valid auth token, and not fail.

EDIT:
====

I published a demo WP site with the plugin, and demo stuff that the plugin uses to get information. Here's a link to the demo page: http://wordpress.kalebklein.com/linkedin-test-page/
