How to Hide the "Start a Post" Box on LinkedIn

What LinkedIn lets you do without an extension

Nothing. The composer (“Start a post” with its Video, Photo and Write article buttons) can’t be collapsed, moved or turned off in any setting. It sits above the first post on every visit to the home feed.

If you mostly come to read, it’s the first thing you have to scroll past every time.

Why a custom CSS rule keeps breaking

You can hide the composer with a user style, until LinkedIn serves you another version of its interface. LinkedIn runs several front-end versions at once plus rolling A/B tests, and the composer’s markup differs between them. The rule works on one variant and silently stops matching on the next.

LinkFeed Pro detects which LinkedIn interface you are on and applies the matching rule, so the box stays hidden across LinkedIn updates.

You can still post

Hiding the box removes one entry point, not the ability to post:

• Post from your profile page.
• Post from the LinkedIn mobile app.
• Or turn the option off for a moment, post, and turn it back on.

Comments, reactions and reposts are not affected.

Complete the cleanup

The composer is the smallest distraction on the page. The bigger ones are the sidebars and the messaging popup. The full walkthrough is in the distraction-free LinkedIn guide.

FAQ

Does it affect comments or reactions? No. Only the composer at the top of the home feed is hidden.

Does it hide the composer on other pages? It targets the box at the top of your home feed, the one you see on every visit.

Can I bring it back? Yes. Turn the option off and it reappears instantly.

How much does it cost? Every feature works for 14 days, with no account or card. After that, a one-time lifetime license keeps LinkFeed Pro running. Some features stay free without a license, such as saving a post as an image.
