Why embed a Linkedin feed widget onto your WordPress website?
There are a few reasons why we think you should consider adding an embeddable Linkedin feed widget to your WordPress website:
- Drive more traffic from Linkedin. Increase brand awareness and trust.
- Add social proof to your website (because who doesn’t want more traffic?).
- Promote your latest blog posts, events, offers etc on the feed.
- Gain more insight into your target audience.
There are currently around half a billion users on Linkedin, which means you can use an embedded Linkedin feed widget to bring your website some very valuable new traffic.
In this post, we are going to go over the how’s and a few FAQs of adding a Linkedin feed widget to your WordPress website.
How do I get a LinkedIn feed widget?
LinkedIn feed widgets are available to all Linkedin business page owners. You can easily create one for your website or blog by logging into LinkedIn and clicking the ‘share’ button in the top right-hand corner of your Linkedin post.
You will be presented with a popup box where you can select whether you want to embed your Linkedin company page, profile or group.
If you choose to embed your Linkedin group page, you can enter the URL of a Linkedin group and then share that feed with others by using the ‘share’ button as well.
How do I embed a Linkedin feed widget into my WordPress website?
For this you would need to use an ‘HTML’ widget and drag it into the box or section where you want the Linkedin feed to display. For example, in the right column, header, footer, etc.
You would also need to place it in the order you would like it to display.
For example, if you want it in the right column, do you want it to display at the top above or below your ‘search bar’ etc.
Then go back to Linkedin and copy the HTML code for the post or group feed, again, by using the ‘share button’ at the top right of the post or group page etc.
Place the HTML code in the widget you selected and click ‘done’.
That’s it! You now have embedded a Linkedin feed widget into your WordPress website.
How do I add a LinkedIn feed to WordPress without a widget?
You can add a Linkedin feed for any post or group to your WordPress site without a widget by simply, and again, using the ‘share’ button at the top right of the Linkedin post, group share, etc. and choose the embed format option of your choice.
You can then embed a Linkedin feed for that post, group share etc. to individual WordPress posts or pages on your WordPress site.
However, if you would like to embed a Linkedin feed site wide you would either have to use a widget or use a plugin like ‘Ad Inserter‘ or another ‘social media plugin’ available on WordPress.org.
