This plugin displays the latest posts from a Twitter account in a sidebar widget.
\nEasy customization of style, replies, retweets, links, dates, thumbnails and a lot more.

The plugin is based on Twitter API version 1.1.
\nIn order to use it, you have to create a personal Twitter Application on the dev.twitter.com website.
\nWithin your Application, Twitter provides two strings: the Consumer Key and the Consumer Secret.
\nYou also need two other strings, the Access Token and the Access Token Secret, that you can get
\nfollowing this guide.
\nFinally, enter all the Authorization string in the widget options box, along with your favorite display settings: your Twitter Widget is now ready and active!

You can use the same Authorization strings for several widgets and multiple website.
\nJust remember to store them in a safe place!

You also need CURL and OPENSSL extensions enabled in your PHP environment (don’t worry, almost every hosting service provides that).

Shortcode

If you want to put your recent tweets other than in a widget, you can use the [good_old_twitter] shortcode.
\nThe shortcode support is experimental.

At the moment at least the twitter username and the 4 authentication attributes are mandatory. The shortcode minimal configuration is (with all fields filled):

[good_old_twitter username=”” consumer_key=”” consumer_secret=”” access_token=”” access_token_secret=””]

You can specify other optional attributes, e.g.:

num (number of tweets to show, e.g. num=”10″)
skip_retweets (if set to true, retweets are skipped, e.g. skip_retweets=”true”)

The full list of available options is available in the plugin FAQ.

\n","installation":"

Best is to install directly from WordPress. If manual installation is required, please make sure to put all of the plugin files in a folder named good-old-twitter-widget (not two nested folders) in the plugin directory, then activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.

\n","faq":"\n

\nDoes the widget show my tweets in real time?\n\n

Yes they’re shown in real time, although you have to refresh the page for them to appear.

\nHow can I modify the styles?\n\n

The plugin follows the standard rules for “ul” and “li” elements in the sidebar. You can set your own style modifying or overriding these rules:
\n.good_old_twitter_widget { /* your stuff / }
\n.good_old_twitter_widget li { / your stuff */ }

As for the linked username on the bottom (if enabled), you can customize it this way:
\ndiv.gotw_link_user { /* your stuff */ }

\nI’ve enable user thumbnails. How can I make them look better?\n\n

You can use some CSS rules like these:
\n .good_old_twitter_widget { margin-left:0; }
\n .good_old_twitter_widget li { margin-bottom:6px; clear:both; list-style:none; }
\n .good_old_twitter_widget img { margin-right :6px; float:left; border-radius:4px; }

\nWhat filters are available?\n\n

The “gotw_link_user” filter applies to the link to the Twitter user profile
The “gotw_button_follow” filter applies to the Twitter “Follow Me” button
The “gotw_output” filter applies to the final widget frontend output

All the filters are provided with the plugin’s complete array of options.

\nWhat options are available for the shortcode?\n\n
