Shortcode for LinkedIn
-
We have a short code for Twitter already, which I use quite regularly.
However, LinkedIn is fast becoming the most active social media platform for our business, so I would also like the ability to include LinkedIn posts in the same way as I can include Twitter posts.
So please can we have something very similar?
i.e. today, we have:-

Hi there,
This is not possible as LinkedIn made some changes to their API back in 2020 preventing the embed of LinkedIn content on third-party websites.

That’s a bit weird given that they have an “Embed this post” menu option which generates some iframe HTML. Isn’t that just the same as twitter?
https://www.linkedin.com/embed/feed/update/urn:li:share:6905550682158690304Given that WordPress actively stops me from putting this code in my blog post, surely a shortcode that generates this same iframe code would be the appropriate thing to do. Why do we need a LinkedIn API to do that?
Alternatively, let us put the embed code in ourselves and stop actively removing it.
Cheers,

Hmmph, the editor changed the ‘code’ I pasted even though I enclosed it in code tags, trying again (since no way to edit previous response).

The code you can use on the wordpress.com platform is very limited. That’s why you can’t use that code over here.
