  Hi there, I assume you know how to create your badge from LinkedIn.

  You can copy the HTML code and create a text widget, you can then paste the code in there. If the code contains any other script than HTML like javascript and PHP. this might not work.

  You can follow this link if you would like more information.

  Hope this helps. 😎

  Hi there,

  The LinkedIn badge cannot be added on WordPress.com, except on our Business Plan, as we don’t allow script tags here for security reasons:

  Add Code to Your Site

  But what you can do is to create the badge on LinkedIn, and take a screen shot of it. Then add that screen shot to your site using an image widget, and link it back to your profile on LinkedIn.

  This does mean the whole badge will be clickable, not just the View Profile button, and it won’t update automatically should details on your LinkedIn profile change, but it’s better than nothing.
