Overview
Tools for Twitter is a robust WordPress plugin designed to seamlessly integrate your Twitter activity into your WordPress site. It allows users to connect multiple Twitter accounts and archive tweets, automating the creation of blog posts from tweets and posting new tweets with links to your blog posts. With functionality that includes browsing tweets locally by mention, hashtag, or account, users can manage their tweets directly from the WordPress admin panel and optionally display them publicly. The plugin simplifies connecting accounts without the need for creating apps or copying keys and offers customizable settings per account. Additionally, it provides options for displaying tweets via shortcodes and widgets and supports comprehensive data management by archiving complete Twitter data. Tools for Twitter encourages developers to contribute to its ongoing enhancement via GitHub.

I have been using this phased out plugin with no substitute in the horizon. Unfortunately ‘social’ is also phasing out and I don’t know how else I will convert my tweets into wp posts as perfect as this plugin use to. Wish someone would take over from where Alex King left off. He probably would too.

It does everything I need – archive my tweets and provide links for hashtags and @mentions. However, I have two issues:
a tweet with a photo shows two photos – the featured image and the thumbnail image (within the post)
a tweet with a photo displays http://t.co/ but is not a link. I’ like to be able to hide the t.co text.

Awesome plugin, but I am experiencing an issue with automatically pulling in tweets as new blog posts.
Currently, they do not seem to get pulled in automatically, but only when I post a new blog post.
I hope this will be fixed, because otherwise I really do like this.
Best, Ben

Why do I have to use additional plugin which provides useless options?

EDIT: Since I wrote this review, the plugin has stabilised somewhat and stopped breaking sites, so I’m bumping my rating up from 1 to 4.

Dangnabbit! I used to like this plugin apart from some annoying debug errors. Now it seems to have become reliant on another plugin just to function.
