Description
Lets you display a twitter feed in a sidebar widget.
Caches last successful tweet retrieval and only updates if it successfully gets a new list from Twitter.
Practically every element has a unique class so that it’s highly customizable via CSS.
There are various configuration options including:
- Title
- Twitter Username
- Max Tweets to Display
- HTML to override the View All link
- Time Placement (whether or not the timestamp should appear before or after the tweet)
- Time Format (uses PHP’s date() function for formatting)
Installation
- Upload
gg-twitter.phpto the/wp-content/plugins/directory - Activate the Plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Configure your Twitter API authentication information in WP Dashboard / Settings / GG Twitter
- Install the new Widget through the ‘Widgets’ menu in WordPress
Frequently Asked Questions
