Description
Have a team or group of tweeters that you’d like to show on a site?
The problem with most WordPress Twitter Plugins is that the few that support multiple twitter accounts
usually show the tweets of the users in chronological order. This means if USER_A tweets more than USER_B
your whole feed might be all about USER_A. I found in many cases that I’d rather pull in the most recent tweet
from each user. So that’s what this plugin does. It will also pull in search results and hashtags

Installation
Estimated Time: 10 minutes
- Upload the ‘widget-twitter’ folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ folder on your site
- In WP-Admin, you should see ‘Multi Twitter Widget’ listed as an inactive plugin. Click the link to activate it.
- Once activated, go to Appearance > Widgets and Drop the Widget into your preferred sidebar
- You will need oauth credentials for twitter, which means you’ll have to create an app on https://dev.twitter.com/apps to get these credentials. Defaults have been provided, but there is no guarantee they will work long term.
- Once you’ve dropped in the widget, enter twitter handles (space separated) and click save.
