This plugin operates by scraping an Author Post Activity page (e.g.: https://www.linkedin.com/today/author/[author]) to collect information about the author(s)’ LinkedIn articles.
The properties of these articles are then sanitized and saved to a new table in WordPress, preparing them for output into your widget.
The widget can be positioned in sidebars or footers like any other feed.
