<p>With this plugin, you can upload your personal Facebook or Twitter data file to be processed, and then import all of your posts into your blog. You may also download your pictures and videos too. Since you likely have hundreds of posts, this plugin provides filtering, sorting, and grouping of posts.</p>
<p>This plugin provides very useful previews that make your blog roll a bit more like Twitter. This makes it so that your blog roll isn’t just a wall of text. Instead, it will be decorated with preview images for each post. Your links to other websites can have preview images. If you have multiple images in a post, a collage preview image will be created for you.</p>
<p>After installation and activation, go to Vintillect Importer.</p>

<p><strong>Service Domains and Third Party External Services</strong><br />
This plugin will retrieve extra data from <a href="https://vintillect.com/vintillect-importer/" rel="nofollow ugc">vintillect.com</a> after you enter your upload ID. It can let you know the status of the processing and import your configuration file for this plugin to work correctly.  <a href="https://vintillect.com/privacy.html" rel="nofollow ugc">Vintillect’s Privacy Policy</a> and <a href="https://vintillect.com/tos.html" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a><br />
Your uploaded zip files will be uncompressed onto an <a href="https://x2wp-processed.s3.amazonaws.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Amazon S3 cloud storage domain</a> in which special URLs will grant only your plugin access to the files such as images and videos. Additionally, Vintillect uploaded processed data files which are read into the plugin tables for easy viewing and filtering.<br />

<p><strong>Privacy</strong><br />
Your privacy will be respected. When you upload your data file, it goes straight to AWS S3 cloud storage and decompressed there. A few data files are automatically processed on cloud servers that transform them into formats that can be used by this plugin and those files are moved back into cloud storage, and those are only accessible by a special URL known to this plugin.<br />

<p>After you upload your data file, you will be provided an upload ID that allows only this plugin on your WordPress site access to import your data. After 7 days, it will be deleted to avoid the possibility of hackers gaining access to it. We only keep your name, email, upload ID, and logs to check if there was an error when formatting the data that is needed for importing into your blog. Your email will not be used for email lists or given to anyone else.</p>
<p>We ask that you also respect the privacy of others as well. Use discretion when deciding to upload media that was shared to you in Twitter. Get their permission before importing if you think they may not want those images or videos published in your blog. <a href="https://wordpress.com/support/user-guidelines/" rel="nofollow ugc">Your blog could get suspended if you post privately shared media without getting consent.</a></p>
<p><strong>Optional Purchases</strong></p>
<p>Importing your posts, notes, groups, and saved items are free. Media (photo and video albums, messenger chat media) are available to import with a purchase. This helps us to pay for cloud storage and processing costs.</p>
<h3>Important</h3>
<p>Pay attention to the Settings tab where it shows the space used vs space available. WordPress has a maximum limit of 1 GB space for free users. When you are importing many large media files, space can get used up very quickly. <a href="https://wordpress.com/support/space-upgrade/" rel="nofollow ugc">Click here</a> if you are hosted on WordPress.com and you think you may need more storage space.</p>
<p>Use a personal computer or laptop for this process. The personal data file can be very large and a mobile device may not be best for downloading and uploading it.</p>

<p>Tools for Twitter integrates with Twitter by giving you the following functionality:</p>
<ul>
<li>Connect multiple Twitter accounts (via Social)</li>
<li>Archive the tweets from your Twitter accounts (downloaded every 10 minutes)</li>
<li>Create a blog post from each of your tweets</li>
<li>Create a tweet on Twitter whenever you post in your blog, with a link to the blog post (via Social)</li>
<li>Browse your tweets locally by @mention, #hashtag or user account (optionally display these publicly)</li>
</ul>
<p>Tools for Twitter leverages Social’s connection to Twitter so that you don’t have to create an app and copy keys around. It supports multiple accounts (must be authorized as “global” accounts in Social) with settings on a per-account basis.</p>
<p><strong>Support Level:</strong> Product Support (we want to fix bugs and make the product great, but do not provide individual support).</p>
<p><strong>Developers:</strong> <a href="https://github.com/crowdfavorite/wp-twitter-tools" rel="nofollow ugc">Fork and contribute on GitHub</a>.</p>
<h3>Upgrading</h3>
<p>If you have upgraded from an older version of Tools for Twitter, your data will need to be converted to the new Tools for Twitter format. On the Tools for Twitter Options page you will see a prompt to upgrade if appropriate. Follow the steps to convert your data.</p>
<p>Tools for Twitter now stores complete Twitter data along with your basic tweet content. Over time, Tools for Twitter will request this data for upgraded tweets. This process make take a few days, as only 10 tweets are requested per hour (to avoid egatively impacting your rate limit).</p>
<h3>Connecting Accounts</h3>
<p>Any Twitter accounts connected on the Social settings page are available for Tools for Twitter. You can enable them on a per-account account basis, as well as specifying per-account preferences for creating blog posts, etc. (on the Tools for Twitter options screen).</p>
<h3>Managing your Tweets</h3>
<p>You can view, edit and delete (or unpublish) the local copy of your Tweets right in your WordPress admin. Navigate the tweets from the “Tweets” menu item and manage them just as you would any other post type. Tools for Twitter does not know if you’ve deleted a tweet on Twitter, so you’ll need to also delete the copy of the tweet from the admin to remove it from your WordPress site.</p>
<h3>Displaying your Tweets</h3>
<p>Tools for Twitter include options to create URLs for your local tweets using the following scheme:</p>
<ul>
<li>single tweet: http://alexking.org/tweets/253580615113400321</li>
<li>account archive: http://alexking.org/tweet-accounts/alexkingorg</li>
<li>@mention archive: http://alexking.org/tweet-mentions/sogrady</li>
<li>#hashtag archive: http://alexking.org/tweet-hashtags/monktoberfest</li>
</ul>
<p>You can enable public URLs for your tweets in your Tools for Twitter settings. If you choose not to enable public URLs for your tweets, you can still vuew and manage them from within the admin screens.</p>
<h4>Shortcode</h4>
<p>You can use a shortcode to display a list of tweets.</p>
<pre><code>[aktt_tweets account="alexkingorg"]
</code></pre>
<p>If you want, you can specify some additional parameters to control how many tweets are displayed:</p>
<pre><code>[aktt_tweets account="alexkingorg" count="5" offset="0"]
</code></pre>
<p>You can also choose to explicitly include or exclude replies and retweets:</p>
<pre><code>[aktt_tweets account="alexkingorg" include_rts="0" include_replies="1"]
</code></pre>
<p>If you want to limit the tweets to specific @mentions or #hashtags, you can to that as well:</p>
<pre><code>[aktt_tweets account="alexkingorg" mentions="crowdfavorite,twittertools" hashtags="wordpress,plugin,twittertools"]
</code></pre>
<h4>Widget</h4>
<p>The options for the shortcode are also available for the Tools for Twitter widget via a few settings.</p>
<h4>Create Blog Posts</h4>
<p>Tools for Twitter can create a blog post from each of your Tweets. This feature can be enabled on a per-account basis. If there is an image included in the media data of the tweet Tools for Twitter will try to save that image as the featured image for the post and append it to the blog post content.</p>
<p>Please note that this will take effect for all future tweets, it does not retroactively create posts for older tweets (though you could pretty easily script it to do so if you desired).</p>
<h3>Customization</h3>
<p>Tools for Twitter is designed to be customizable via the standard hook/filter API. If you find you need additional hooks (or to suggest other bug fixes and enhancements) please create a pull request on GitHub.</p>
<p>https://github.com/crowdfavorite/wp-twitter-tools</p>
<p>Get creative! Here are some examples of ways to use more of the full Twitter data to create links back into Twitter where appropriate:</p>
<ul>
<li>linking to the original tweet on Twitter</li>
<li>linking to “in reply to” tweets</li>
</ul>
