How to Add a LinkedIn Feed in Elementor or Divi (WordPress shortcode)

Want to drop your ProFeedWP LinkedIn feed into any Elementor or Divi layout? Create the feed on a simple Gutenberg page, then embed that page anywhere with this tiny shortcode.

1) Install the shortcode

Add this to a small plugin or your theme’s functions.php:

/**
 * Shortcode: [render_page_content id="123"] or [render_page_content slug="my-feed-page"]
 */
function pfwp_render_page_content_sc( $atts = [] ) {
    $atts = shortcode_atts(['id'=>'','slug'=>'','wrap'=>'div','class'=>'pfwp-embedded-content'], $atts,'render_page_content');

    $target_id = $atts['id'] ? absint($atts['id']) : 0;
    if (!$target_id && $atts['slug']) {
        $p = get_page_by_path( sanitize_title($atts['slug']), OBJECT, ['page','post'] );
        if ($p) $target_id = (int) $p->ID;
    }
    if (!$target_id || get_the_ID() === $target_id) return '';
    $post = get_post($target_id);
    if (!$post || 'publish' !== $post->post_status) return '';

    static $stack=[]; if (in_array($target_id,$stack,true)) return ''; $stack[]=$target_id;
    $prev = $GLOBALS['post'] ?? null; $GLOBALS['post']=$post; setup_postdata($post);
    $html = apply_filters('the_content', $post->post_content);
    wp_reset_postdata(); $GLOBALS['post']=$prev; array_pop($stack);

    $wrap = in_array($atts['wrap'], ['div','section','article','span'], true) ? $atts['wrap'] : 'div';
    return sprintf('<%1$s class="%2$s" data-source-id="%3$d">%4$s</%1$s>', $wrap, esc_attr(sanitize_html_class($atts['class'])), (int)$target_id, $html);
}
add_shortcode('render_page_content', 'pfwp_render_page_content_sc');
Code language: PHP (php)

2) Create your “feed page”

• Create a new page and choose the native Gutenberg editor. Make a page that contains just the ProFeedWP – LinkedIn Feed block. Publish it and note the ID or slug.
• Make sure to hide it from search engines (If you use Yoast, set the ‘Allow search engines to show this Page in search results?‘ to No )

3) Embed it anywhere

• Elementor: Shortcode widget → [render_page_content id="123"]
• Divi: Code module → [render_page_content id="123"]
  (Or use slug="your-page-slug".)

Notes: Renders through the_content (so dynamic blocks work), prevents loops, and works with posts or pages. Keep the feed page minimal for best performance.
