This is a small wordpress plugin that we use to simply fetch a twitter users statuses. We can then take the raw status data and display it any way we like in a theme or other plugins. This plugin simply authorizes itself with any twitter application you designate to gain access to your twitter account.
- A Twitter Application to link this plugin to. This allows the plugin on your Wordpress site to fully communicate with the Twitter Account you choose to link to.
-
Automatic tweet updating with a 5 minute interval using wp_cron
-
Display raw status data using function wtf_raw_tweets();
-
Display simple list of tweets with user icon and status using function wtf_show_tweets();
Q: Where do I go to create a twitter application for use with this plugin
A: You can create a custom twitter application to use for accessing your Twitter account at http://dev.twitter.com
Q: I get an error during Authorizing Wordpress-Twitter-Feed "There is no request token for this page" or other Authorization errors.
A: Please be sure that you have assigned a "Callback URL" to your plugin. Wordpress Twitter Feed will use its own URL during authentication. However Twitter still requires the "Callback URL" be set to a valid URL. This URL can simply be the url to your Wordpress site.
