Easily customize embedded Tweets to match your site’s theme. Choose a dark or light theme, custom link color and custom border color to match surrounding content.
Convert Twitter URLs into rich embeds¶
The plugin includes URL handlers for a single Tweet, a profile, a list, a collection, a Moment, a Vine, and a Periscope profile. Easily add Twitter, Vine, and Periscope widgets to your site without needing to retrain authors.
Easily add timelines¶
Add embedded timelines to posts and templates by pasting a URL, configuring a shortcode, or by adding a widget to your theme’s widget area.
Encourage sharing with Tweet buttons¶
Add a Tweet button to every public post, customize Tweet text, and grow your follower audience.
Grow your Twitter and Periscope audience¶
Add a Follow button to your site to convert website visitors into Twitter followers.
Add a Periscope On Air button to advertise future broadcasts and easily communicate when a live broadcast is available.
Measure advertising success¶
Twitter advertisers can build a custom audience target or track advertising conversions with a Twitter advertising shortcode added to any webpage.
Customize enabled features across your site or network¶
Enable or disable specific plugin features by acting on the associative array passed through the twitter_features
filter.
