Twitter User Timelines

Twitter User Timelines is a plugin that tries to do Twitter feeds right. Instead of the inflexible Twitter widget I built the whole thing using the REST API. This allows me to use regular ol’ HTML and CSS to style everything. It gives you a lot of power since you can override the default look in any way you like.

The widget allows you to show different tweets where it makes sense. You can choose to show a post’s current author’s tweets for example. You can override the default Twitter user on single post, single page and author archive pages.

Setup

Please note that since the Twitter API requires authentication you will need to create a Twitter application to get a consumer key and secret. This is super easy, I’ve included instructions in the Installation section.

Thanks
