ATTENTION: following breaking changes in the LinkedIn API this plugin won’t be functional anymore after March 1st. More information here
This plugin provides you with shortcodes to insert your LinkedIn profile and a rotating scroller of your LinkedIn recommendations in any WordPress page or post.
Please check vedovini.net for examples.
The following shortcodes are available:
To customize the rendering of the shortcodes you must create a linkedin folder in your theme or in the wp-content folder and then copy the template file you want to modify. The default template files are located in the plugin’s templates folder.
You can override the [li_profile] shortcode’s template by specifying the template code enclosed in the shortcode itself, for example [li_profile]Hello M. {last-name}, how's your work at {positions:values:0:company:name}?[/li_profile] will render something like Hello M. Smith, how's your work at ACME Company?.
See this post for more details on customization: Showing more of your LinkedIn profile with WP LinkedIn
There are also several widgets. One widget displays the recommendations scroller, one displays your network updates, and two widgets show a “profile card” – one of which is the standard LinkedIn JavaScript profile widget, the other uses a customizable template.
We welcome volunteers to translate that plugin into more languages. If you wish to help then contact @cvedovini on Twitter or use that contact form.
Please check the WP LinkedIn Multi-Users extension if you need to show the profiles of multiple users.
And if you need to show company profiles or company updates, please check the WP LinkedIn for Companies extension.
Also available is the WP LinkedIn Advanced Templates extension that provides extended profile templates (including most of the profile sections) and a more sophisticated template for company page updates.
And if you want to save money then there’s the WP LinkedIn Extensions Bundle which includes all the extensions for a reduced price.
Following is the list of people and projects who helped me with this plugin, many thanks to them 🙂
This plugin does not collect any personal information from your visitors. However, profile information coming from the LinkedIn API may be temporarily cached for efficiency reasons.
The period of time this information is kept in the cache is controlled by the WP_LINKEDIN_PROFILE_CACHE_TIMEOUT define and defaults to 12 hours. You can override it by specifying it’s value, in seconds, in the wp-config.php file.
Starting from $0 per month.
