Recent Tweets Widget plugin for Twitter API v1.1 with Cache. It uses the new Twitter API v1.1 and stores tweets in the cache. It means that it will read status messages from your database and it doesn’t query Twitter.com for every page load so you won’t be rate limited. You can set how often you want to update the cache.

Installation

  1. Unzip the downloaded zip file.
  2. Upload the recent-tweets folder and its contents into the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation
  3. Activate Recent Tweets Widget from Plugins page.
  4. Go to your Widgets menu, add * Recent Tweets widget to a widget area.
  5. Visit https://apps.twitter.com/ in a new tab, sign in with your account, click on Create a new application and create your own keys if you haven’t already.
  6. Fill all your widget settings.
  7. Enjoy your new Twitter feed! 🙂
