Сүрөттөө
This plugin displays the latest posts from a Twitter account in a sidebar widget.
Easy customization of style, replies, retweets, links, dates, thumbnails and a lot more.
The plugin is based on Twitter API version 1.1.
In order to use it, you have to create a personal Twitter Application on the dev.twitter.com website.
Within your Application, Twitter provides two strings: the Consumer Key and the Consumer Secret.
You also need two other strings, the Access Token and the Access Token Secret, that you can get
following this guide.
Finally, enter all the Authorization string in the widget options box, along with your favorite display settings: your Twitter Widget is now ready and active!
You can use the same Authorization strings for several widgets and multiple website.
Just remember to store them in a safe place!
You also need CURL and OPENSSL extensions enabled in your PHP environment (don’t worry, almost every hosting service provides that).
Shortcode
If you want to put your recent tweets other than in a widget, you can use the [good_old_twitter] shortcode.
The shortcode support is experimental.
At the moment at least the twitter username and the 4 authentication attributes are mandatory. The shortcode minimal configuration is (with all fields filled):
[good_old_twitter username=”” consumer_key=”” consumer_secret=”” access_token=”” access_token_secret=””]
You can specify other optional attributes, e.g.:
- num (number of tweets to show, e.g. num=”10″)
- skip_retweets (if set to true, retweets are skipped, e.g. skip_retweets=”true”)
The full list of available options is available in the plugin FAQ.

FAQ.KG
-
Does the widget show my tweets in real time?
-
Yes they’re shown in real time, although you have to refresh the page for them to appear.
-
How can I modify the styles?
-
The plugin follows the standard rules for “ul” and “li” elements in the sidebar. You can set your own style modifying or overriding these rules:
.good_old_twitter_widget { /* your stuff / }
.good_old_twitter_widget li { / your stuff */ }As for the linked username on the bottom (if enabled), you can customize it this way:
div.gotw_link_user { /* your stuff */ } -
I’ve enable user thumbnails. How can I make them look better?
-
You can use some CSS rules like these:
.good_old_twitter_widget { margin-left:0; }
.good_old_twitter_widget li { margin-bottom:6px; clear:both; list-style:none; }
.good_old_twitter_widget img { margin-right :6px; float:left; border-radius:4px; } -
What filters are available?
-
- The “gotw_link_user” filter applies to the link to the Twitter user profile

All the filters are provided with the plugin’s complete array of options.
