LinkedIn widget not updating

    Hi I am using WP Fastest Cache on our site and also LinkedIn Company Updates as one of the social feed widgets.
    I noticed the LinkedIn widget was not showing the latest post and this was the case for over 24 hours.
    I have tried setting a cache timeout to once a minute (now set to once an hour) and also adding exclude User-Agent: (.*).linkedin.(.*) in the exclude section.
    Despite the above the only way I could trigger the latest post to show was to clear the cache manually.
    Please can you advise on the best way to get past this issue for the future?
    Thanks,Matt

    The page is saved as a static html file so the latest posts do not appear. You need to clear cache to show them.

    Thanks for your reply.
    So how can we automate this process?
    Even if the cache clears once a day that would be better than having to remember to clear it manually every time a new LinkedIn post is made.
    I thought the cache timeout would help with this, but it’s obviously not the case.
    Please advise, thanks.

    By the way we have a twitter widget on the page which is updating just fine, so I don’t see why the LinkedIn widget can’t do the same?

    I don’t know how the linkedin widget works. The plugin developer adds a hook. The hook can detect the new post on linkdin and clear cache.
