Questions the author answers
Can I display multiple Twitter feeds on my site or on the same page?
Yes, you can display multiple Twitter feeds by using our built-in shortcode options. For example: [custom-twitter-feeds screenname="smashballoon" num=3]. You can add it to any post, page, or widget to easily display your Twitter feed in a beautiful Twitter widget.
How do I embed the Twitter Feed directly into a WordPress page template?
You can embed your Twitter feed directly into a template file by using the WordPress do_shortcode function: <?php echo do_shortcode('[custom-twitter-feeds]'); ?>.
Is the content of my Twitter feed crawlable by search engines and how does it help improve my SEO?
Unlike other Twitter plugins which use iFrames to embed your Twitter feed into your page in a widget, the Custom Twitter Feeds plugin uses server-side code to embed your Twitter feed widget content directly into your page. This adds dynamic, search engine crawlable content to your site.
Will Custom Twitter Feeds work with W3 Total Cache or other caching plugins?
The Custom Twitter Feeds plugin should work in compatibility with most, if not all, caching plugins, but you may need to tweak the settings in order to allow the Twitter feed to update successfully and display your latest Twitter posts.
The font in my Twitter feed isn’t inherited from my website
By default, your Twitter feed should automatically inherit the font from your website. If this isn’t the case, then it’s possible that something in the theme is preventing this from happening. An issue that we’ve run into before is that <code> tags are added into the Twitter feed widget HTML by either the theme, another plugin, or perhaps even the custom-twitter-feeds shortcode being wrapped in code tags in your…
Can I display multiple Twitter feeds?
Twitter recently announced a Twitter API that offers a limited number of API requests for a $100 monthly fee. Right now, we’re working on integrating our plugin with this new API which would allow for more features.
If you’d like to display tweets from only one source, we’ve got your back. As a free user of Custom Twitter Feeds, you can showcase your tweets from 1 user timeline feed at NO cost to you.
