FAQ

How can I change an embedded Tweet’s background and link colors to match my site’s theme?

The Twitter plugin for WordPress includes a settings page with options to set a light or dark theme and choose a link or border color used in embedded Tweets and timelines.

My custom link color and border color do not appear in embedded Tweets or timelines

Your site may have a Content Security Policy blocking Twitter’s JavaScript from inserting your custom styling into the widget.

You may have configured an embedded search timeline widget with a non-default link color. Your stored widget configuration overrides your page or theme’s configuration.

Does the Twitter plugin add additional tracking of my site’s visitors?

The Twitter plugin for WordPress makes it easier to explicitly include Twitter features and functionality on your WordPress site. No additional tracking is added as a result of our plugin code’s execution on your server(s).

Twitter widgets and buttons load Twitter’s widgets.js library through the WordPress JavaScript queue. Read more about how Twitter for Websites widgets respect user privacy.

Twitter advertising trackers are only included on the page when invoked by the site using the twitter_tracking shortcode or placing the Twitter advertising shortcode in a widget area. Read more about Twitter’s policies for conversion tracking and tailored audiences products.

Motivated by our love to twitter and its analytics we have launched a tool to complement this plugin. https://wordpress.org/plugins/ki-twitter-analytics/

I agree with others. I checked the Wiki and I am still baffled on how to include a simple timeline. You would think it'd be just as easy as embedding their code. Uninstalling in 3, 2... Update: This is what you are looking for: Custom Twitter Feeds

JUNK. It doesn't work. Can't save after adding as a widget. If I have to spend more than 10 minutes setting up the basics for a Widget, it gets canned.

there are two type of twitter card: summary_large_image and summary <meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" /> if you need change to large image, you need add below code to twitter.php manually, not in the admin panel: function twitter_card_type( $card_type, $query_type, $object_id ) { return 'summary_large_image'; } add_filter('twitter_card_type', 'twitter_card_type', 10, 3); more information from: https://github.com/twitter/wordpress/wiki/Cards I am going to vote 1 star, not good plugin, really wast time.

This official plugin from twitter only allows you to add 3 meta tags to your WP post: twitter:site (your twitter username) twitter:title (title of WP post) twitter:description (first 140-280 chars of the WP post) The plugin does not generate twitter:image. So when the URL for your WP post is tweeted, I assume an image is not included in the tweet. I did not actually test this on my production website, but I could see there was no twitter:image element in the WP rendering of the localhost post.
