<p>Mathilda is trying to give you back some control of your tweets. The plugin copies your tweets from Twitter continuously and saves them into the WordPress database. The tweets can be displayed on the blog chronologically (but do not have to). Indeed, Twitter is also blogging, micro-blogging so to speak.</p>

<li>Copy your tweeted images back</li>
<li>Display your tweets on the blog</li>

<li>Import your complete tweet history</li>
<li>Export your tweets as CSV file</li>
<li>Languague: English, German (only FrontEnd)</li>
</ul>

<h3>Future of this Plugin</h3>
<p>As Twitter has decided to discontinue free access to the Twitter API in February 2023, I have stopped using Twitter, which also impacts the future of this plugin. For a longer period of time, the plugin was still able to execute API calls strangly enough. The plugin is using the Twitter API Standard v1.1. In the meantime Twitter became X and also free write access to v1.1 is still possible, but X has removed the required endpoint to fetch data. As consequence the core feature of the plugin is not working anymore, which is very sad. Independent from this, displaying of already received tweet data is still possible with this plugin. This feature will be kept alive until further notice. But further development in general is discontinued.</p>
