Basically when I edit my profile and go to one of the first 3 job positions, I don&#8217;t get the buttons to add the media items like the ones below:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Linkedin-Media-Buttons.png?strip=all&w=2560\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3433\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Linkedin-Media-Buttons.png?strip=all\" alt=\"Linkedin Media Buttons\" width=\"614\" height=\"55\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Linkedin-Media-Buttons.png?strip=all 614w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Linkedin-Media-Buttons-300x27.png?strip=all 300w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Linkedin-Media-Buttons.png?strip=all&amp;w=122 122w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Linkedin-Media-Buttons.png?strip=all&amp;w=245 245w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Linkedin-Media-Buttons.png?strip=all&amp;w=368 368w, https:\/\/cdn.businesslegions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Linkedin-Media-Buttons.png?strip=all&amp;w=491 491w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I am able to do it to the 4th and 5th jobs (probably because they currently don&#8217;t have any media) but for the first 3 I cannot. If I move my mouse over any existing media to click on the pencil button to edit or delete the media it doesn&#8217;t work.<\/p>\n<p>So I sent a support ticket with Linkedin and it&#8217;s still open. Today, I managed to figure out how temporarily solve the issues &#8211; it was by pure accident.
