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)

  3. Configure your Twitter API authentication information in WP Dashboard / Settings / GG Twitter
  4. Install the new Widget through the ‘Widgets’ menu in WordPress
