Mathilda is trying to give you back some control of your tweets. The plugin copies your tweets from Twitter continuously and saves them into the WordPress database. The tweets can be displayed on the blog chronologically (but do not have to). Indeed, Twitter is also blogging, micro-blogging so to speak.
As Twitter has decided to discontinue free access to the Twitter API, I have stopped using Twitter, which also impacts the future of this plugin. For a longer period of time, the plugin was still able to execute API calls strangly enough. The plugin is using the Twitter API Standard v1.1. In the meantime Twitter became X and also free access to v1.1 is still possible, but X has removed the required endpoint to fetch data. As consequence the core feature of the plugin is not working anymore, which is very sad. Independent from this, displaying of already received tweet data and the import of DSGVO Data Export from X is still possible with this plugin and will be supported and maintained as long as possible.
Following tweet types are supported.
Following tweet objects are supported.
Data storage and process logic is separated from the WordPress Framework. The toots are not saved in the table wp_posts. And TootPress is not registering a custom post type for the toots as well.
All mathilda UI elements can be addressed with individual CSS selectors. Please use your debugger to find the right classes.
Mathilda creates 4 folders within wp-content/uploads.
