# Embed LinkedIn Post in Elementor

Step-by-step guide to embed LinkedIn post in Elementor using the Custom iFrame WordPress plugin. No API key needed. No coding required.


## Overview

Custom iFrame lets you embed LinkedIn post in Elementor by extracting the post's embed URL and pasting it into the widget. Display professional updates, articles, and insights from LinkedIn directly on your WordPress page without an API key.

Custom iFrame is a WordPress plugin by CoderzStudio that embeds 100+ external sources in Elementor and Gutenberg without writing any code.

## Requirements

- [Custom iFrame plugin installed and active](/getting-started/installation)
- Elementor installed
- A public LinkedIn post to embed

## FAQ

<ExpandableGroup>
  <Expandable title="Why do I need to extract the src URL instead of using the post link?" default-open="false">
    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.
  </Expandable>
  <Expandable title="My LinkedIn post shows blank. What should I check?" default-open="false">
    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](/troubleshooting/iframe-not-showing) for more help.
  </Expandable>
  <Expandable title="Can I embed a LinkedIn article or newsletter?" default-open="false">
    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.
  </Expandable>
  <Expandable title="What height should I use for a LinkedIn post?" default-open="false">
    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.
  </Expandable>
