Twitter plugin that uses Twitter API, cron job and shortcodes.

This is bare bones at the moment. But it works. Once you've activated plugin you can input your twitter api key etc and set a cron job for updating the feed.

Use [xtweets] shortcode for displaying tweets.

At the minute shortcode only accepts 1 argument; number of tweets. Default is 4.

e.g.

[xtweets count=2]

You can edit mark-up output for tweets by copying public/partials/templates/xtweets--single.php to your-theme/xtweets/xtweets--single.php

There is no styling to date. This was always meant to be a companion to developers to quickly add a custom twitter feed to projects. I plan to add basic styling soon. Although there will be an option to disable.

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

1. Upload this folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Add access token, token secret, consumer key and consumer secret via Settings -> Twitter
4. Set cron job (this is how often feed is updated, results are cached in tweets.json file)
5. Place [xtweets] shortcode in your templates

Coming soon

Comming soon
