Overview
This WordPress plugin is designed to enhance integration with Twitter, offering a range of features to embed and customize Twitter content effortlessly. Users can embed various types of Twitter content—such as single tweets, profile timelines, lists, collections, and Moments—directly onto their WordPress sites via simple URLs, shortcodes, or widgets. The plugin allows customization of embedded displays to ensure seamless alignment with the site’s theme, including options for light or dark backgrounds, and custom link and border colors. Additionally, the plugin can automatically adapt the embed text to match the site's locale and optimizes JavaScript loading for better site performance. It helps users grow their Twitter audience by creating link previews for shared URLs with Twitter Cards, adding Tweet and Follow buttons to encourage sharing and following, and incorporating a Periscope On Air button for Periscope subscribers. Furthermore, the plugin aids in improving Twitter ad campaigns by allowing easy integration of Twitter website tags to track ad performance and build target audiences. This tool is ideal for site owners looking to convert web traffic into social media followers and enhance their social media engagement and advertising strategies.

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…

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.

I use this to add recent tweets (with images) in the sidebar. It works well.

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.
