Simple Twitter Widget

A simple but powerful widget to display updates from a Twitter feed. Configurable and reliable.

Martin Tod

<ul>
<li>Replaces a <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode" rel="nofollow ugc">shortcode</a> such as <code>[rotatingtweets screen_name='your_twitter']</code>, or a <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Widgets" rel="nofollow ugc">widget</a>, with a rotating display of your most recent tweets</li>
<li>Supports the <a href="https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/upcoming-changes-to-tweets" rel="nofollow ugc">new longer tweet format</a></li>
<li>Supports <a href="https://blog.twitter.com/official/en_us/topics/product/2017/tweetingmadeeasier.html" rel="nofollow ugc">280 characters</a></li>
<li>Space efficient – instead of showing all your tweets at once, shows one at a time and then smoothly replaces it with the next one. After showing all your tweets, loops back to the beginning again.</li>
<li>Reliable – keeps showing your latest Tweets even if the Twitter website is down.</li>
<li>Customizable – you decide whose tweets to show, how many to show, whether to include retweets and replies, and whether to show a follow button. You can also decide how quickly the tweets rotate and what type of animation to use.</li>
<li>Responsive – resizes as your page resizes</li>
<li>GDPR-friendly – with default settings, collects no user data and shares no user data (including IP addresses) with anyone else. Supports ‘Do Not Track’ (DNT).</li>
<li>Gives you the option to show a fully customizable Twitter ‘follow’ button. For note, because of the way Twitter’s code for the Twitter button works, the button will display as a regular text link to site visitors who have set ‘Do Not Track’.</li>
<li>Replaces <a href="http://t.co" rel="nofollow ugc">t.co</a> links with the original link</li>
<li>Caches the most recent data from Twitter to avoid problems with rate limiting</li>
<li>Uses <a href="http://jquery.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">jQuery</a>, <a href="http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle/" rel="nofollow ugc">jQuery.Cycle</a> and <a href="http://jquery.malsup.com/cycle2/" rel="nofollow ugc">jQuery.Cycle2</a> to produce a nice smooth result.</li>
<li>Compatible with <a href="/plugins/w3-total-cache/" rel="nofollow ugc">W3 Total Cache</a>.</li>
<li>Multi-lingual – now set up to be multi-lingual. The Twitter ‘follow’ button is automatically translated to match your site’s language setting <a href="https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/developer-utilities/supported-languages/api-reference/get-help-languages" rel="nofollow ugc">if Twitter has made the appropriate language available</a>. Also uses <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/I18n_for_WordPress_Developers" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress’s multi-lingual capability</a> to enable translation of all the other text used by the plug-in via <a href="https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/rotatingtweets" rel="nofollow ugc">language packs</a>.</li>
</ul>
If you’d like to see what the plug-in looks like in action, you can <a href="http://www.martintod.org.uk/2012/05/29/new-twitter-plugin-to-show-tweets-in-rotation/" rel="nofollow ugc">see the plug-in working here</a>.
