How many posts can a LinkedIn widget show?
Short answer
A LinkedInEmbed posts feed shows up to 30 of the latest posts from one LinkedIn profile or company page. You choose how many, and lay them out in 1 to 4 cards per row. In Selected posts mode, on Pro and Essentials, you hand-pick up to 4 specific posts instead of showing the latest ones.
The limits at a glance
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Posts in a live feed | Up to 30, newest first |
| Hand-picked posts (Selected posts) | Up to 4 per widget, on Pro and Essentials |
| Cards per row | 1 to 4; grids use fewer columns automatically on narrow screens |
| Post text length | Short, medium, long or full text |
| Reposts | Include or hide |
| Media, dates, author and engagement | Show or hide each |
How many should you show?
Whatever number you choose, a live feed shows your latest posts up to that number, and older ones drop off as you publish new ones. These are suggestions, not rules. Fewer posts load faster and keep attention on your call to action; see does a widget slow down my site?
| Placement | A good starting point |
|---|---|
| Homepage section | 3 posts in a row, or 6 in two rows |
| Sidebar or narrow column | 2 to 3 posts, one per row, short text |
| Newsroom or “Latest updates” page | 9 to 12 posts in a 3-column grid |
| Speaker or creator portfolio | 4 hand-picked posts that show your best work |
Need more than that?
- A live feed shows your latest posts only, so older posts drop off as you publish new ones. To keep a favorite visible, pick it in Selected posts: picked posts stay even after newer posts push them out of your latest posts.
- For more than 4 hand-picked posts, create a second widget from the same source; it still counts as one LinkedIn source.
- One widget always shows one profile or company page. See can one feed combine several profiles?

Layout tips
- Short text suits grids of three or four cards per row; full text suits a single column.
- Hide media in sidebars to keep cards compact, and show it on news pages where images help.
- Grids reduce their columns automatically on narrow screens, so check how your post count looks stacked on a phone.
- Show dates where freshness matters, such as a newsroom, and consider hiding them on evergreen pages.
- Changed the post count or layout? It goes live as soon as you save, on every page where the widget appears.
