Step 1: Get the LinkedIn Post Embed Link

Open the post on LinkedIn

Go to linkedin.com and open the post you want to embed.

Click Embed this post

Click the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the post. Click Embed this post. A popup appears with the embed code.

Extract the src URL

Copy the embed code. Paste it into a text editor. Copy only the URL inside the src="..." attribute of the <iframe> tag.

Only public LinkedIn posts can be embedded. Posts with restricted visibility cannot be embedded and will show blank.

Go to the page where you want the LinkedIn post. Click Edit with Elementor.

Drag the widget onto your page

Search for Custom iFrame in the Elementor widget panel. Drag the widget into your layout.

FAQ

LinkedIn's standard post URL (e.g. linkedin.com/posts/...) does not load inside an iFrame. The embed src URL (from Embed this post in the post menu) is the correct format for iFrame embedding.

Confirm the post is set to public visibility on LinkedIn. Also confirm you pasted the src URL from the embed code, not the regular post URL. See iFrame Not Showing for more help.

Yes. The same process works for LinkedIn articles. Open the article, click the three-dot menu, click Embed this post, and copy the src URL from the embed code.

Set height to 400px to 700px for a standard text or image post. Articles and longer posts may need more. Enable Auto Height to let the iFrame resize automatically.
