LinkedIn follow button not transparent


I have a LinkedIn button on my website on top of a dark background, but the corners of the rounded LinkedIn button are white making it square looking. Is there anyway to make it transparent?

<li class="item-3">
<script src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js"
type="text/javascript">
lang: en_US
</script>

I have tried background-color: transparent; in CSS but nothing happens. Adding background-color: white; makes a big white box around the whole LinkedIn button, so I assume transparent does work, but just not where I want it to.

Solution

  • Support from linkedin is laughable... I've contacted them re this issue. They refuse to acknowledge it. And have instead pointed me here: LinkedIn Homepage Redesign

    This does not resolve the issue (obviously).

    The style cannot be overwritten using css. I am going to remove the follow button, as this is the only available option. Great job LinkedIn...
