<p>Twitter for WordPress displays yours tweets, your friends timeline, a Twitter search result or the current twitter trends in your WordPress blog. This is done by using the built in widget or by using PHP functions in your theme.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<pre><code>* Simply
* Customizable
* Widget support
* No options page (yes, this is a feature if you consider that other plug-in cannot be inserted in your site more than once due to this)
* Uses WordPress resources (no extra files needed)
* Detects URLs, e-mail address and @username replies
</code></pre>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>If you use WordPress widgets, just drag the widget into your sidebar and configure. If widgets are not your things, use the following php code to display Twitter messages:</p>
<pre><code><?php twitter_messages("username"); ?>
</code></pre>
<p>A number of options are available like:</p>
<pre><code>* specifying the number of the elements that should appear in your list via the $num parameter;
* let the elements appear into an HTML list via the $list parameter
* show the time when the tweet has been published via the $update parameter
* transform text into an active link via the $hyperlinks parameter and apply a nofollow decoration with the $nofollowattribute
* exclude retweets via the $excludeRT parameter
* or don't include tweets that contain a particular text via $excludeText parameter (you can pass a simple string, or an array of values comma separated) 
</code></pre>
<p>If you want to display tweets to a special search result, use the following code:</p>
<pre><code><?php twitter_searchstring("#twitaly"); ?>
</code></pre>
<p>If you want to display the tweets of your friends timeline, use this:
    </p>
<p>If you want to display the current twitter trends, use that snippet:
    </p>
<h4>Customization</h4>
<p>The plug in provides the following CSS classes:<br />
    * ul.twitter: the main ul (if list is activated)<br />
    * li.twitter-item: the ul items (if list is activated)<br />
    * p.twitter-message: each one of the paragraphs (if msgs > 1)<br />
    * .twitter-timestamp: the timestamp span class<br />
    * a.twitter-link: the tweet link class<br />
    * a.twitter-user: the @username reply link class<br />
    * li.twitter-item img: format the avatar icon on search results</p>

<p>Any Suggestions?<br />
As I’m not a PHP programmer and I’m not going to support this fork actively, I will be glad to hear from you. Maybe that if the request or the suggestion is interesting enough I can spend some time on the development.</p>

<p><strong>Simple X Buttons</strong> adds X (Twitter) buttons to your WordPress posts and pages — the right way.</p>
<h4>Why not use X’s official embed buttons?</h4>
<p>X’s embed infrastructure (<code>platform.twitter.com/widgets.js</code>) has been unreliable since 2023, hitting HTTP 429 rate limits at scale and causing embeds to fail silently or load slowly. X has not committed to fixing this.</p>
<p>This plugin takes a different approach entirely.</p>
<h4>What are X Web Intents?</h4>
<p>Web Intents are plain URLs provided by X for sharing, following, mentioning, and more. They open a lightweight native X popup — no JavaScript SDK, no third-party cookies, no external scripts loaded on page load. You click, a popup opens, done.</p>
<p>That means:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>No API key required</strong> — zero setup friction</li>
<li><strong>No external scripts</strong> — nothing loads until the user clicks</li>
<li><strong>No rate limits</strong> — static URLs, no API calls</li>
<li><strong>GDPR-friendly</strong> — no cookies or tracking on page load</li>
<li><strong>Fast</strong> — the plugin CSS is ~1 KB, loaded only when a button is on the page</li>
</ul>
<h4>Four button types</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Share</strong> — opens X compose pre-filled with the post title, permalink, hashtags, and via handle</li>
<li><strong>Follow</strong> — opens X’s native follow dialog for your account</li>
<li><strong>Mention</strong> — opens X compose pre-filled with @yourhandle so visitors can tweet at you</li>
<li><strong>Hashtag</strong> — opens X compose pre-filled with #yourtag; optionally pulls in the post’s own tags automatically</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Auto-insert</strong> before and/or after post content — choose which buttons and which post types per placement</li>
<li><strong>Per-placement button control</strong> — show Share on all posts, Follow only on certain post types, etc.</li>
<li><strong>Post tags as hashtags</strong> — Share and Hashtag buttons can automatically pull the post’s tags (capped at 5 to keep tweets writable)</li>
<li><strong>4 Gutenberg blocks</strong> — X Share, Follow, Mention, and Hashtag blocks with live editor previews</li>
<li><strong>4 Shortcodes</strong> — <code>[sxb-share]</code>, <code>[sxb-follow]</code>, <code>[sxb-mention]</code>, <code>[sxb-hashtag]</code></li>
<li><strong>Template tags</strong> — <code>sxb_share_button()</code> and <code>sxb_button_bar()</code> for theme developers</li>
<li><strong>Three button styles</strong> — Dark, Outline, Ghost</li>
<li><strong>Popup or new-tab</strong> intent window</li>
</ul>
<h4>Integration</h4>
<p>Four ways to add buttons to your site:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Auto-insert</strong> (recommended): Enable a placement in Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Simple X Buttons. Buttons appear automatically on every matching post type.</li>
<li><strong>Shortcode</strong>: <code>[sxb-share]</code>, <code>[sxb-follow handle="yourhandle"]</code>, <code>[sxb-mention handle="yourhandle"]</code>, <code>[sxb-hashtag tag="travel"]</code> anywhere in content.</li>
<li><strong>Block</strong>: Search for “X Share Button”, “X Follow Button”, “X Mention Button”, or “X Hashtag Button” in the Gutenberg block inserter.</li>
<li><strong>Template tag</strong>: <code><?php sxb_share_button(); ?></code> or <code><?php sxb_button_bar(); ?></code> in theme templates.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Compatibility</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 5.8 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 7.2 or higher</li>
<li>No API key required</li>
<li>No external JavaScript loaded on page load</li>
<li>Works with any theme</li>
</ul>
