Your company publishes news, projects and hiring updates on LinkedIn, but your Joomla website needs those updates too. You can embed selected posts individually or display an automatically updating feed from your LinkedIn Company Page.
LinkedIn Company Feed by AllForJoomla brings company posts, images, videos and company information into a customizable Joomla widget. This guide explains when an automatic feed is useful, how it compares with individual embeds and how to add one to your website.
🔎 Two Ways to Display LinkedIn Posts on Joomla
Embed Individual LinkedIn Posts
A manual embed is useful when a particular publication belongs in a particular place: a project announcement in a case study, a company milestone on your About page or a selected update inside an article.
For a post where LinkedIn offers an embed option, you can copy its embed code and add it to a suitable Joomla content area. Your editor and content filtering settings need to allow that code. Each additional post is selected and added separately.
Choose this approach when you want editorial control over a small number of specific publications. The embedded post remains a selected item; it does not become a feed of the company's next updates.
Display an Automatic LinkedIn Company Feed
An automatic feed suits a permanent company news section. You configure a LinkedIn Company Page as the source, and new publications can appear as the feed's data refreshes.
LinkedIn Company Feed lets you manage the source, appearance and display options from Joomla. You can reuse your company activity without manually adding a separate embed for every new post.
| Your requirement | Individual embeds | LinkedIn Company Feed |
|---|---|---|
| Main purpose | Highlight selected publications. | Display ongoing Company Page activity. |
| Adding future posts | Add each selected post separately. | New posts can appear when feed data refreshes. |
| Presentation | Use the presentation supplied by the embed. | Configure the feed layout and post elements. |
| Media delivery | Depends on the external embed. | Choose local delivery of images and videos with GDPR-Friendly Media Loading. |
| Typical placement | A specific article or announcement. | A homepage, company news section or careers page. |
✨ What LinkedIn Company Feed Adds to Your Joomla Website
LinkedIn Company Feed is designed for LinkedIn Company Pages. Use it to display a company's publications; personal LinkedIn profile feeds are outside this product's supported source type.
- No LinkedIn API key required: connect using a Company Page URL without creating your own LinkedIn developer application.
- Posts, images and videos: bring company publications and their available media into your website.
- Company information: configure the company header and the information shown alongside the posts.
- Grid, Masonry and Slider layouts: choose a presentation that suits your page.
- Visual builder with preview: adjust the widget's appearance and review the result before publishing.
- Responsive controls: configure columns and display behavior for different screen sizes.
- Post filtering: use available keyword and author filters to focus the feed on relevant content.
For example, a company homepage can show general updates, while a careers page uses a separately configured widget with filters for hiring-related content. Filters depend on the wording of the source posts, so preview the selection before publishing.
⚙️ How to Add a LinkedIn Company Feed to Joomla
1. Install the Extension
Install the LinkedIn Company Feed package through your Joomla administration area. Follow the LinkedIn Company Feed documentation for the complete installation and configuration instructions.
2. Add Your LinkedIn Company Page
Create a widget and enter the LinkedIn Company Page URL you want to display. Check that you are using the company page address rather than a personal profile or an individual post URL.
3. Customize the Feed
Use the visual builder to select a layout, adjust columns and spacing, configure responsive behavior and choose the company and post elements to display. Preview the feed with your source content.
4. Choose the Media Display Mode
To serve images and videos through your Joomla website, select Download and display from this website server (GDPR-Friendly Media Loading) in the Media Display Mode setting.
5. Publish the Widget
Copy the generated shortcode and place it in a Joomla article, Custom HTML module, template or custom layout. Check the published page on desktop and mobile to confirm that the feed fits your design.
You can explore the LinkedIn Company Feed demo to see the presentation options before configuring your own widget.
🛡️ Choose How Images and Videos Are Delivered
Displaying LinkedIn content also involves loading its media. With GDPR-Friendly Media Loading, LinkedIn Company Feed retrieves images and videos through your Joomla website, stores them locally and serves them from your website server.
The visitor's browser therefore does not need to contact the original media server to retrieve those locally served files. This gives you greater control over media delivery and reduces direct third-party media requests.
This feature addresses media delivery; overall website privacy compliance depends on the complete site configuration. Read how to add a GDPR-friendly LinkedIn feed to Joomla for the detailed explanation.
💼 Where a LinkedIn Company Feed Can Be Useful
Homepage: Show Recent Company Activity
A compact feed can show project news, announcements and professional updates alongside your main offer. Choose a manageable number of posts so visitors can still find your services and contact information easily.
About Page: Support Your Company Story
Use publications about milestones, projects and company achievements to add current examples to your About page. Configure the company header and post elements to complement the existing content.
Careers Page: Share Team and Hiring Updates
Show company publications about vacancies, events or working life. Where suitable, use filters to select relevant posts and preview the results. Keep essential application instructions directly on the careers page.
