Use the ProFeedWP shortcode

ProFeedWP works as a native WordPress block, but you can also display your LinkedIn feed with a shortcode.

This is useful if you are using the Classic Editor, Elementor, Divi, Avada, widgets, theme templates, or another page builder where adding a Gutenberg block is not convenient.

Basic Shortcode

Add this shortcode where you want the feed to appear:

[profeedwp company_url="https://www.linkedin.com/company/your-company/"]Code language: PHP (php)

Replace the LinkedIn URL with your own company page URL.

Where Can I Use It?

You can place the shortcode in:

• The Classic Editor
• Elementor Shortcode widget
• Divi Code or Text module
• Avada Text, Code, or Shortcode elements
• WordPress widgets
• Custom theme templates using do_shortcode()
• Other page builders that support shortcodes

The shortcode works independently of Gutenberg, so the block editor does not need to be enabled.

Refreshing the Feed

The shortcode uses the same feed cache as the block.

By default, the feed refreshes automatically when the cache expires (default is 3600s). You can set the refresh interval in seconds:

[profeedwp company_url="https://www.linkedin.com/company/your-company/" refresh_interval="3600"]Code language: JSON / JSON with Comments (json)

Using the shortcode in a theme template

If you want to add the feed directly inside a WordPress theme template, you can use:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[profeedwp company_url="https://www.linkedin.com/company/your-company/"]'); ?>Code language: HTML, XML (xml)

Only add this to theme files if you are comfortable editing WordPress templates.
