How to Use the LinkedIn Button with Counter

Update: As of February 7, 2018, LinkedIn no longer supports share counts on their share buttons. Here is an article from LinkedIn with some more information about the decision.

To add the LinkedIn button to your AddThis sharing tool, use the following code:

<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">
     <a class="addthis_button_linkedin_counter"></a> 
</div>

Preview:

To show the button vertically, do this:

<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">
     <a class="addthis_button_linkedin_counter" li:counter="top"></a> 
</div>

Preview:

To show the button without a counter, do this:

<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style">
     <a class="addthis_button_linkedin_counter" li:counter="none"></a> 
</div>
